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 Sled Wood pairs the Polo seat with a solid beech sled base in a walnut finish: two wood frames, each with a runner along the floor, joined under the seat. The runners let the chair glide across rugs and carpet, and the wood gives a softer, more residential feel than a steel sled. It is a natural fit for dining rooms with area rugs, Scandinavian and Mid-Century interiors, and quieter restaurants. Above the sled, S-shaped springs in a foam-molded steel frame cushion the seat, and the back flexes slightly as you lean; the slipcover is held on with Velcro.

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. Dust the wood with a dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Wood, leather and fabric vary naturally in grain and shade from piece to piece.

How much weight does it hold?

Why does the price not change with color?
