Armchair, Mika Metal

The Armchair, Mika Metal is an upholstered back armchair for a house that runs hotel restaurants, fine dining rooms, and country clubs and wants each room to match. Its place is an indoor room. Metal is what the frame is built from. Diners settle onto vinyl. Before you count covers, note capacity rated at 500 lb, 30 lb for staff to lift and move, armrests for the guest, and padding behind the guest. Measured overall, it comes to 23 1/4" W x 23 3/4" D x 29 3/4" H, the figure to mark on the floor plan. The listed seat height is 18.75 inches. Compare the selected seat height with the underside of your counter or table, including its apron, and allow space to sit and move.

Choices to make for this piece: your metal finish, whether Black or Dark Walnut; standard vinyl from 5 choices, among them London Tan, Gunmetal, and Dark Brown. A dining room seats by its tables, so count chairs per table first: two-tops take two chairs, 36 inch squares four, 48 inch rounds five or six. Then hold back spares, about one per twenty seats, for the chairs that rotate out for repair.

Add this version to the venue plan for the right room, then copy the plan when a second location opens. Upholstered pieces follow the colors you pick, which adds time before they ship. Care follows the materials. Wipe vinyl down with mild soap and water at close, dry it, and keep bleach and solvents off it. Touch up a chip in the metal coating soon, before moisture creeps under the finish.
