The Gavin Chair with Upholstered Seat takes our simple cafe-style Gavin and adds a cushioned seat for extra comfort. A slim tubular steel frame with straight legs carries a broad, curved wood veneer back panel, while the seat is upholstered for a softer sit and a more finished look. Paired with a custom powder coat color, the mix of wood, metal and upholstery can be tuned closely to a brand or interior palette.
It is a good fit for restaurants, hotel dining rooms, cafes and campus dining where guests stay longer than a quick coffee. The Gavin with Upholstered Seat stacks for storage, keeping room changeovers simple.
The steel frame is welded, not bolted. The chair is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and its foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. It ships fully assembled from the factory and is backed by our 3-year frame structural warranty and 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment. It stacks for compact storage, and ganging hardware may be available depending on the chair. We do not stock stacking carts, but they can be custom made on request.
Plan about 24" per seat at the table. Our restaurant seating layout guide covers aisle widths and table spacing.
