About this piece

Think of the room first: the Ernest Dining Chair in Ladder-Back Aluminum is an upholstered back chair that belongs in hotel restaurants, fine dining rooms, and country clubs. Under the guest is a frame of aluminum w wood look. For the seat, the choices are fabric or vinyl. Before you count covers, note capacity rated at 500 lb, a weight on record of 15 lb, and stacking for quick changeovers. Its size is 18 1/2" W x 23" D x 34 3/4" H; lay that out where service will pass beside it. The listed seat height is 18.5 inches. Compare the selected seat height with the underside of your counter or table, including its apron, and allow space to sit and move.

Before you set a count for each room, choose 7 options for metal finish, Espresso, Cherry, and Natural among them, seat type, picked from Padded Vinyl Seat or Padded Fabric Seat, and glides & casters, picked from Black Nylon Glides, Plastic Adjustable Glides, Metal Adjustable Glides, or Front Casters. More fields open once those are set. For a room that changes between dinner and a private event, count the busiest layout. Keep one per twenty seats on hand as spares, and plan around 24 inches of edge per guest.

Keep a venue plan for each room, and save this version there with the count that room needs. Upholstered pieces follow the colors you pick, which adds time before they ship. Care follows the materials. At the end of the night, vinyl wants a soft cloth, mild soap, and a dry wipe, never bleach or solvent. Run a vacuum over fabric seats each week and treat spills right away, following the cleaning code.
