The X-back cross back chair is a rustic classic that suits pubs and country-style dining rooms, and it is one of the most requested chairs for wedding venues. Every piece is built for commercial use: we specify joints, fixings and finishes for daily service rather than domestic use, and we confirm materials in writing before production.
Customisation options
- Rattan, timber or padded seat
- Armchair and bar-stool versions
- Distressed or clean finish
- Custom stain colour
Upholstered items can be specified to the UK fire standard your venue requires (for example BS 5852 Crib 5 or BS EN 1021-1/2); we confirm the compliant foam and fabric build with your quotation.
