The Thame is a rubberwood dining chair with a slightly distressed, vintage-style finish that draws on mid-twentieth century design. Sold here as a pack of six, each chair is upholstered in Bison Espresso brown vinyl and constructed for contract use in commercial hospitality environments.
In practice, chairs in dining rooms take a great deal more punishment than most operators anticipate — repeated stacking, guests leaning back, and constant repositioning across hard flooring. The Thame is built with reinforced mortise and tenon joints, which is the traditional joinery method that holds up well to this kind of daily stress. The rubberwood frame is a dense, stable hardwood that resists warping under the temperature and humidity fluctuations common in busy restaurant environments.
Key practical points worth noting:
- CRIB 5 fire-retardant upholstery — a requirement for most UK licensed hospitality premises
- Vinyl seat covering wipes clean quickly between covers without specialist products
- Traditional solid back provides guest comfort without upholstered surfaces that are harder to maintain
- The vintage finish suits informal dining, pub restaurants, and casual bistro settings particularly well
- Pack of six reduces per-unit cost and ensures finish consistency across a batch
The chair’s footprint suits standard restaurant table spacing without difficulty. It is not a stackable design, so storage space between services is worth factoring in if your site has limited back-of-house room. The pack weight is substantial, so plan your delivery access accordingly.
The Thame suits independent restaurants, pub dining rooms, hotel breakfast spaces, and event venues looking for a consistent, classic aesthetic at a practical contract price point. For higher-volume or very high-turnover environments, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty specification would be more appropriate.
If you are furnishing a full dining room or are unsure how many packs you need for your layout, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
