Metal Dining Chair, Leeds Padded

From the opening bake to closing time, the Metal Dining Chair, Leeds Padded works as an upholstered back chair in hotel restaurants, fine dining rooms, and country clubs. Its listing says indoor use, so it stays inside the shop. Metal is the frame material, in black. The seat is made of vinyl. Worth knowing at the counter: a load rating of 500 lb, 17 lb to carry from the back room, and a back with padding.

The listed size is 18 1/4" W x 18 1/2" D x 33 1/4" H, so mark that out before you count. The listed seat height is 18.5 inches. Compare the selected seat height with the underside of your counter or table, including its apron, and allow space to sit and move. Plan 24 inches of edge per guest and drop to 18 inches only at the tightest tables. The chair count follows from that, not from the catalog.

Fold this into the closing routine. Wipe vinyl seats with mild soapy water at close and dry them; bleach and harsh solvents harm the cover. Dab paint on any chip in the coating so moisture cannot reach bare metal.

Set Black, T07 Dark Green, or London Tan as the vinyl seat and back before it goes in the basket. Keep it in Shop plans, where the configured price sits with your layout and the plan can be copied for the next shop. Reordering for the room? Get a new swatch before you choose, since covered seats are made to your pick and take longer.
