Seat upholstery. Faux leather is the entry option. PPM and PPM-FR are polyurethane performance leathers, Camira Era is a woven contract fabric, the off-white boucle is a soft extra-loop weave, and Camira Blazer is a wool contract fabric. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Base finishes

The Tribeca Spider sets the padded Tribeca armchair shell on a cast aluminum swivel base with four splayed prongs, so it works as both a dining chair and a light desk chair. Order it on glides for a dining table or conference room, or add office casters to roll it between a desk and a meeting table. The base comes polished, in black, or in a brass finish, which moves the look from Industrial to warm Modern. Under the cover is a steel seat frame with S-shaped springs and molded polyurethane foam.

Where to use it

Planning notes

• On glides the seat is 16 in high, right for 28 to 30 in tables and desks.
• Casters raise the seat to 18 in; check that the arms still clear your desk.
• Choose glides for dining so the chair stays put when you lean back.
• Casters suit hard floors and low-pile carpet.
• Shipping: in-stock chairs ship in 3 to 5 business days. If your seat and base combination is out of stock or on its way to our warehouse, please allow 10 to 15 weeks for it to ship.

Who it is not for

• Long work days that need height and tilt adjustment: a task chair is the better fit
• Tall counters or islands: see the Tribeca stools
• Outdoor use

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.

Does it swivel on glides too?

Yes. The aluminum base swivels whether you choose glides or casters.

How much weight does it hold?

It is rated for 300 lb.

Why do the prices differ?

Faux leather seats cost the least, PPM, PPM-FR, Camira Era and boucle are the middle tier, and Camira Blazer wool is the top tier. The brass finish and the office casters each add a surcharge.
