Ashton Dining Chair – Black with Natural

The Ashton dining chair pairs an ash wood frame with cane detailing across the back and seat. Measuring 460mm wide, 480mm deep and 800mm high, it offers a compact footprint that works well tucked under a table or standing alone as spare seating. The black finish is a matt grain effect on the wood, set against the natural tone of the cane for a two-part look that suits a range of settings, from modern kitchens to more traditional dining rooms.

This chair fits everyday dining spaces as well as kitchens, home offices and hallways where you want a seat that folds away when it is not needed. The foldable design makes it easy to store flat or bring out for extra guests, so you can keep a few on hand without giving up floor space. The mix of dark wood and pale cane reads as both modern and natural, sitting comfortably alongside plain or patterned decor, and the light weight means you can move it from room to room with little effort whenever your seating needs change.

Built on a sturdy ash wood frame, the Ashton weighs 4.15kg and arrives fully assembled in a single box, so there is nothing to put together. The cane panels on the back and seat add texture and a bit of give, while the matt grain effect finish keeps the surface low-shine and shows off the wood grain beneath. To care for it, wipe the wood with a damp cloth and use a soft brush to lift dust from the cane weave. Avoid soaking the cane and let any damp areas dry fully before use.

What is the chair made from?

The frame is ash wood with a black matt grain effect finish, while the back and seat panels are cane in a natural tone. This gives you a solid wooden base combined with the lighter texture of woven cane across the areas you sit against and lean on.

Is the black a real wood colour or a finish?

The black is a matt grain effect applied to the ash wood, not the natural colour of the timber. It keeps a low-shine surface that shows the grain pattern, while the cane on the back and seat stays in its natural pale tone for contrast.

Does the chair fold away?

Yes, the Ashton is a foldable chair. This lets you store it flat when it is not in use or bring it out as extra seating for guests. It is handy if you want a few spare chairs without keeping them set up and taking floor space all the time.

How do I clean and look after it?

Wipe the wood frame with a damp cloth and use a soft brush to clear dust from the cane weave on the back and seat. Avoid soaking the cane, and let any damp areas dry fully. Regular light cleaning helps keep both the wood and cane in good condition.

What are the dimensions and weight?

The chair measures 460mm wide, 480mm deep and 800mm high, and weighs 4.15kg. The compact size means it tucks under most dining tables, and the light weight makes it easy to move between rooms or fold away for storage when you need the space.

Does it come assembled?

Yes, the Ashton arrives fully assembled in one box, so there is no construction needed. You can unpack it and use it straight away, whether at the dining table or as an extra seat, and simply fold it flat again when you want to store it.
