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.

Leg finishes

The Polo Metal is a clean, fully upholstered-look dining chair: the Polo seat and flexible back sit on four slim, straight steel legs, so it slides easily under tables and suits both kitchens and busy dining rooms. Choose chrome, stainless steel or black, or order the leveling version with adjustable glide caps in chrome or brass, which lets you true the chair up on uneven floors such as tile, stone or older hardwood. The seat is a steel frame with S-shaped springs, molded in polyurethane foam, under a removable Velcro slipcover. It is the most economical chair in the Polo family.

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 are the adjustable glides for?

They are leveling caps on the leg ends that screw in or out, so the chair sits flat on uneven floors.

What is the seat height?

The seat is 18 in high and the chair is 33 in tall overall, a fit for standard dining tables.

Is the back flexible?

Yes. The Polo seat has a flexible back that gives slightly as you lean.

How much weight does it hold?

The Polo Metal is rated for 300 lb.

Why do the prices differ?

The Polo seat comes in PPM and Camira Era fabric at one price, so the seat color never changes the cost. The chrome adjustable-glide legs and, a little more, the brass adjustable-glide legs carry an upcharge over plain chrome, stainless or black.

Will the legs scratch my floor?

The steel legs are plastic-tipped; add felt pads on soft hardwood for extra protection.
