Thame Dining Chair Weathered Oak & Scarlett Vinyl Seat (Pack of 6)

The Thame dining chair is a contract-grade side chair designed for commercial hospitality environments where durability and consistent presentation both matter. Constructed from rubberwood with a muted weathered oak finish, it takes its visual cue from traditional 1940s cabinetry — a solid back, clean lines, and a profile that sits comfortably in restaurants, hotel dining rooms, pub dining areas, and similar settings. This listing covers a pack of six chairs.

In practice, rubberwood is a sensible choice for contract furniture. It is dense, stable, and holds joinery well over time. The reinforced mortise and tenon joint construction is the detail that matters most under heavy daily use — chairs in commercial dining rooms are pulled, pushed, stacked, and loaded repeatedly, and traditional glued or dowel joints rarely hold up to that over a sustained period. The Thame’s joint construction is built with that in mind.

The seat is upholstered in Shetland Scarlett vinyl, which brings a warm red tone that works well against the weathered oak frame. Practically speaking, vinyl is the right call for any front-of-house seating that needs to be wiped down quickly between covers. The chairs conform to CRIB 5 fire retardancy requirements, which is the standard required for most commercial hospitality premises in the UK.

• CRIB 5 compliant — meets UK hospitality fire retardancy requirements
• Reinforced mortise and tenon joints for long-term commercial durability
• Vinyl upholstery wipes clean quickly between covers
• Weathered oak finish suits a range of dining interior styles
• Supplied as a pack of six for straightforward ordering

These chairs are well suited to mid-volume dining rooms where style consistency and ease of maintenance are priorities. For very high-turnover environments — large hotel banqueting or fast-casual dining — it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty specification or stackable option would better suit the operational demands.
