Jordan Chair

The Jordan Chair is a refined dining side chair with a solid wood frame, an upholstered seat and a padded rectangular back cushion set between the rear posts. A slim gap below the back cushion keeps the profile light, and the straight legs are joined by stretchers for a clean, sturdy base.

Its tailored, slightly mid-century look works especially well in steakhouses, hotel restaurants and private dining rooms, where it can be finished in a dark walnut with black leather for a classic feel or a lighter wood with colorful fabric for something fresher. The seat is a generous 17.5" x 20", and the upholstery can be specified in leather, faux leather, fabric or COM. It is part of our Steakhouse Collection and coordinates with the Jordan Stool.

Built for commercial use

The solid wood frame is joined with mortise-and-tenon construction and very few bolted connections, so it stays tight through years of daily service. It is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and the foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. It ships fully assembled from the factory and is backed by a 3-year frame structural warranty and a 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment. Each chair comes standard with heavy-duty nail-on nylon glides, suitable for most commercial floor types, including hardwood, tile, stone, concrete and carpet.
