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 Wood is the everyday Polo dining chair: the sprung Polo seat with its flexible back on four solid wood legs, a warm, simple shape that suits family kitchens, restaurants and cafés. Choose beech in walnut or wenge finish, natural ash, sandblasted black ash or solid American walnut. For heavier use, add side stretchers between the legs or a chrome ring that ties them together, or switch to the MW legs, steel finished in walnut veneer or black. The seat is a steel frame with S-shaped springs in molded foam, under 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. 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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Polo MW?

MW stands for metal-wood: the same Polo chair on steel legs finished in walnut veneer or black, offered on this page as a leg option.

What do side stretchers and the ring do?

Both brace the legs. Side stretchers run between the front and back legs; the chrome ring links all four legs.

Is the wood solid?

Yes. The wood legs are solid beech, ash or American walnut; the MW legs are steel.

How much weight does it hold?

The Polo Wood is rated for 350 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. Solid American walnut legs carry the largest upcharge; side stretchers and the chrome ring each add a smaller one. The MW legs cost the same as beech and ash.

What is the seat height?

18 in, with an overall height of 33 in.
