Thame Dining Chair Weathered Oak & Shetland Smoke Seat (Pack of 6)

The Thame is a traditionally styled dining chair built to contract specification for commercial hospitality use. Constructed from rubberwood with a muted weathered oak finish, it draws on mid-twentieth-century design references without leaning into pastiche. The solid back and clean frame lines sit comfortably in pub dining rooms, hotel restaurants, care homes, and similar environments where a warm, classic aesthetic is appropriate. This listing supplies six chairs as a set.

In high-turnover dining environments, chair durability is often underestimated until frames start to loosen under daily stress. The Thame uses reinforced mortise and tenon joinery rather than bracket-and-screw construction, which gives the frame considerably better long-term resistance to the racking forces that accumulate when chairs are pulled out, tilted, and stacked repeatedly across multiple sittings. Rubberwood is a practical choice for contract furniture — it is dense, takes a finish well, and holds its appearance under regular use better than some softwood alternatives.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:

• CRIB 5 fire retardancy compliance, required for most licensed and public hospitality premises
• Shetland Smoke vinyl upholstery — wipes clean quickly between covers, resisting staining during service
• Supplied as a pack of six, reducing per-unit cost compared to single purchases
• Consistent finish across the set, which matters when chairs are visible across an open dining room

There are no electrical, gas, or water considerations here, but it is worth checking floor finish compatibility before committing — rubber-tipped feet are standard on most contract chairs of this type, but confirm with the team if you have a particularly delicate or uneven floor surface. The combined weight of a full pack means delivery access and storage space are worth planning ahead, particularly for smaller venues receiving a larger order.

The Thame suits operators who want a dependable, presentable chair with clear contract credentials rather than a statement piece. It works well in mid-market restaurants, pub dining areas, hotel breakfast rooms, and care or assisted-living dining spaces. If your environment is exceptionally high-volume or requires stacking functionality, it is worth discussing whether a different frame specification would serve you better.

If you are fitting out a room and want to talk through quantities, layout, or mix-and-match options with other furniture, the team is happy to help you plan it properly before you order.
