Tulip-style dining chairs from £100, sold in sets of two. A cushioned moulded seat on solid wood legs — softer to sit on than a bare polypropylene shell, and warmer-looking around a dining table.
Specification
W48 × D50 × H85cm with a 45cm seat height. At 48cm wide these are armless and space-efficient, close to the DSW style but with a padded seat and a taller back.
Table fit
The 45cm seat height suits standard UK dining tables of 74–76cm and leaves around 30cm of thigh clearance. That is 1cm higher than our DSW and DAW chairs — not enough to matter on its own, but worth knowing if you are mixing chair styles around one table.
Allow 60cm of table edge per person: a 120cm table seats four, a 160cm table seats six. Leave 75cm behind each chair for getting in and out.

Cushioned versus bare shell
The padded seat is the reason to choose these over a moulded shell chair. It makes a noticeable difference over a long meal, and it softens the look of a dining set considerably. The trade-off is cleaning — a cushion needs spot-cleaning where a polypropylene shell simply wipes down. If the table is a busy family kitchen table, the bare shell may serve you better.
Colours
Black, grey and white. Grey is the most forgiving in daily use; white gives the lightest look but shows marks soonest around a dining table.
Delivery and assembly
UK delivery only. Delivery is free on every product. Dispatched in 1–3 business days, delivery usually takes 5–10 business days after dispatch. Part-assembled, typically under 10 minutes per chair, with a 2-year warranty.
