Aluminum Chair, Valro Curved-Back

The Aluminum Chair, Valro Curved-Back goes on the shop list as an upholstered back armchair for hotel restaurants, fine dining rooms, and country clubs. Its listing says indoor use, so it stays inside the shop. The frame is made of aluminum. Order the seat in fabric or vinyl. Other details from the listing: a load rating of 500 lb, 19 lb to carry from the back room, an arm each side, and a padded backrest for long sits.

Measure your floor against 23 1/4" W x 26" D x 33 1/4" H. The listed seat height is 19.75 inches. Compare the selected seat height with the underside of your counter or table, including its apron, and allow space to sit and move. Allow each customer 24 inches of edge, squeeze to 18 inches only where you must, and keep 18 to 24 inches free behind every seat. Plan for the lunch rush, not the slow afternoon.

Fold this into the closing routine. Mild soapy water cleans vinyl; towel it dry before the chairs go up for the mop. Vacuum fabric at the weekly deep clean and blot a spill as soon as it lands; check the cleaning code before any cleaner.

Set your pick of metal finish: Wood Grain Finish or Powder Coat Finish, your pick of seat type: Padded Vinyl Seat or Padded Fabric Seat, and your pick of upholstered back: Padded Vinyl Back or Padded Fabric Back before it goes in the basket. Fill those in and the remaining choices appear. Keep it in Shop plans, where the configured price sits with your layout and the plan can be copied for the next shop. Upholstered seats are made to your choices, so they take longer than the plain version.
