Kolvern Malfa Rattan Side Chair Pair

A pair of elm-wood cross-back side chairs, each 34.5 inches high, with a black coated frame and a natural rattan seat.

The carton holds two side chairs, not one. Each chair is listed at 34.5 inches high, 19.5 inches wide, and 21 inches deep, so tape two of those rectangles before you order.

• A classic cross-back chair

  The back is built from two uprights joined by an X brace, capped with a curved top rail rounded enough to rest your hand on. It is the same silhouette as a bistro chair, just finished in a deep matte black instead of a lighter wood tone.

• Arched braces, tapered legs

  Underneath the seat, two curved braces arch between the front legs like a low wishbone instead of a plain straight rung. All four legs taper gently toward the floor and end in small non-marking pins, so the chair does not scuff your flooring when you pull it out.

• No assembly, arrives built

  Both chairs arrive fully built: there are no legs to attach, no seat to snap into the frame, and no hardware bag to sort through. Unpack them and set them at the table, since there is no assembly step here at all, not even tightening a screw.

• Spot clean the weave

  Dust the rattan seat regularly, since loose dirt works its way into the weave and is easier to remove before it settles. Spot clean marks with a barely damp cloth and let the seat air dry fully, since soaking natural rattan can loosen the weave or cause it to sag over time.

• No cushion, no armrests

  This is a side chair with no arms and no separate cushion; the rattan seat itself has enough give to sit on for a full meal without feeling like bare wood. The curved back rail gives your lower back somewhere to lean, and the frame is fixed in place, so it does not swivel or rock.

• Black elm frame, rattan seat

  The frame combines solid and manufactured elm, coated in a black finish that hides the wood grain rather than showing it off. The seat is natural rattan, a woven plant fiber rather than fabric or leather, left in its own honey-tan color for contrast against the black wood.

• Sized for a dining table

  Seat height is 18.5 inches, the standard range for a dining table, not a counter or bar height. The chair overall stands 34.5 inches, with 17 inches of back rising above the seat, so check that height against your table's apron before ordering a full set.

• Rated to 331 pounds

  Weight capacity is 331 pounds per chair, high enough for almost anyone to sit without a second thought. Listed product weight is 20 pounds, light enough that moving a chair away from the table with one hand is easy, even for a chair with a solid wood frame.

• Two chairs, fully assembled

  You receive two matching side chairs, not one and not a larger set. Both arrive fully assembled and ready to place at the table right out of the box, with no hardware, no seat pad, and nothing else included beyond the two chairs themselves.
