Cross-back cafe chairs

Notes from behind the counter
Picture the piece at four in the afternoon, after the lunch line has been through. Check the seat height against your counter and the base spread against the top. Save the models that pass to a shop plan, with a note on where each one goes.
The X across the back is the whole look of cross-back chairs, so choose the frame, wood or metal, by how hard the chairs get pushed into tables during service.
Look through the back
The crossed back creates a visible pattern across a row of chairs. Compare the shape with the surrounding table and finishes, then check the product details for dimensions and any listed stacking ability.
Read the footprint
Compare the listed overall width and depth with the space at your table. Armrests, the table apron, and the chair back all affect how the chair fits into the arrangement.
The X across the back is the look, but the frame decides how the chair lives in your shop. The 8 cross-back chairs here split almost evenly between wood and metal frames, with seats in wood, vinyl and fabric. Choose the frame first, then the seat, then the finish you can live with for years.
Wood frame or steel frame
Four chairs here have metal frames, four have wood, and one is a metal frame finished to look like wood. That is a fair split, and it means the same back shape can go two ways.
A steel frame takes the knocks of a busy lunch: chairs bumped by strollers, dragged by kids, tipped against a table at close. A wood frame is warmer to the hand and the eye, and it suits a bakery with a wood counter and an old floor. Either will show where it gets the most use, so check the joints and the seat after the first season and replace a chair before it wobbles.
Mixing the two is fine as long as the back matches. Wood frames can go by the window where people linger, and metal ones by the counter, where the knocks come.
The seat is the part that wears
Six chairs list a wood seat, five vinyl and five fabric, and five carry upholstery options. Vinyl wipes clean after a spilled latte. Fabric is softer and wants more care. A wood seat is the plainest and the easiest to scrape back to clean.
Need a different color? Ask for a free swatch and confirm it before you order. Color lists change, and a reorder months later should match the chairs already in the room.
Sizes and prices
Prices run from around $70 to $143. The metal dining chair measures 16 1/2" W x 17" D x 32 1/4" H, which keeps it small at a two-seat table. The wood dining chair is 18 1/2" W x 21 1/2" D x 32" H, a little broader for a longer sit.
One has a patio listing and one stacks. If your shop stacks every chair at night, this is not the group to fill the room from.
Where to look next
For a different back, compare ladder-back chairs. To stay with one frame material, browse wood chairs or metal chairs, and the full list is under chairs. Ordering more than a few? Put them in a shop plan with the seat noted on each line.
