The Ladner Chair is a timeless ladder-back metal dining chair: a powder coated steel frame with four horizontal back slats and straight legs, paired with a padded upholstered seat. It is the kind of familiar, sturdy chair that suits diners, pubs, pizzerias and casual restaurants, where durability and an easy, classic look matter most.
The padded seat makes it comfortable for full meals, and the open back keeps the dining room feeling airy. Choose black powder coat for a classic look or gunmetal for a more industrial edge, and pair it with the coordinating Ladner Bar Stool at the bar. It is in stock in our quick ship program.
The Ladner Chair has a welded metal frame, not bolted. It 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 covered by our 3-year frame structural warranty and 1-year finish and upholstery warranty, from shipment. Each chair comes standard with heavy-duty nylon glides, suitable for most commercial floor types, including hardwood, tile, stone, concrete and carpet.
Plan on about 24" per seat at tables. Our restaurant seating layout guide covers spacing and aisles.
