Smith Stacking Upholstered Arm Chair

The Smith Stacking Upholstered Arm Chair pairs a slim welded steel frame with a fully upholstered seat and back. Thin round tubes form the legs and sweep up into continuous arms, a cushioned back panel sits between the uprights, and the padded seat rests on a solid wood base. Choose black for a clean, graphic look or brushed brass for warmth and shine.

The upholstered back makes it one of the most comfortable stacking chairs in our line, comfortable enough for a full dinner service yet easy to stack and clear for events. It is a natural fit for hotel restaurants, ballrooms and meeting spaces, and it coordinates with the Smith Stacking Upholstered Side Chair and the rest of the Smith family.

Built for commercial use

The Smith Stacking Upholstered Arm Chair is built on a welded steel frame rather than a bolted one. 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 stacks for compact storage between services and events. Ganging hardware may be available depending on the chair. We do not stock stacking carts, but they can be custom made on request. It ships fully assembled and carries a 3-year frame structural warranty and a 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.
