Seat upholstery. The Polo seat is offered in PPM, a polyurethane performance leather, and in Camira Era, a woven contract fabric. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Base finishes

The Polo Flat lifts the Polo seat on a chrome base made of flat steel bar instead of round tube, a sharper, more architectural line that suits executive dining rooms, boardrooms and upscale restaurants. The flat bar forms continuous runners along the floor, so the chair moves easily and does not dig into rugs. It is offered in polished chrome only, which keeps the look crisp next to glass, marble and lacquer tables. The seat and flexible back are built on a sprung steel frame in molded foam, with a removable Velcro slipcover.

Care

Wipe faux leather and PPM with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Vacuum fabric seats regularly and blot spills right away. Wipe the metal base with a soft, dry cloth; skip abrasive pads and harsh cleaners, which dull plated and powder-coated finishes. Leather and fabric vary slightly in shade from batch to batch.

Frequently asked questions

What makes the Polo Flat different?

Its base is made of flat steel bar rather than round tube, for a slimmer, more tailored profile.

Which base finish is available?

Chrome only.

Is it good on rugs?

Yes. The base runs along the floor on runners, so it slides over rugs and carpet.

How much weight does it hold?

It is rated for 350 lb.

Why does the price not change with color?

The Polo seat comes in PPM and Camira Era fabric at one price, so the seat color never changes the cost. With one chrome base, every combination costs the same.

What is the seat height?

18 in, and the chair is 33 in tall.
