Hettie Dining Chair - Grey Thin Stripe

The Hettie dining chair comes upholstered in a grey thin stripe cotton blend fabric, with a wide seat and a pair of arms for a settled place at the table. It measures 580mm wide by 630mm deep by 870mm high, giving you a generous frame that suits taller diners and anyone who likes room to relax over a long meal. A deep seat cushion sits at its heart, and an extra cushion is included so you can build up the support to your own liking.

We think this chair works well around a dining table, but it also holds its own in a kitchen corner, a hallway, or as a reading spot in a bedroom or study. The thin stripe pattern keeps things quiet rather than busy, so it pairs happily with plain or patterned surroundings. The skirted base runs down to the floor and hides the legs, which softens the overall look and gives the chair a rounded, homely feel in most rooms.

Construction centres on a padded frame dressed in the cotton blend cover, with a skirted design that falls neatly around the base. The wide arms give you something to lean on, and the depth of the seat means the cushioning does not flatten out too quickly. The chair arrives fully assembled in one box, weighing 12.5kg, so it is ready to use straight away. To keep the fabric looking its best, wipe it over with a damp cloth or lift away dust with a soft brush, and plump the cushions now and then to keep their shape.

What is the chair covered in?

It is upholstered in a grey thin stripe cotton blend fabric. The stripe is woven into the fabric rather than printed, giving a subtle finish that reads as a soft neutral from across the room. The cotton blend feels warm to sit on and copes well with everyday use around a dining table.

How should I clean it?

For general upkeep, wipe the fabric with a clean damp cloth or lift away dust and crumbs with a soft brush. Work gently and let the cover dry naturally before use. Plumping the seat and extra cushion from time to time helps the padding keep its shape over the years.

Does it come with the extra cushion?

Yes. Alongside the deep seat cushion, we include an additional cushion so you can add support where you want it. Use it at your lower back for a more upright sit, or set it on the seat to raise the height a little. It is easy to move or remove as suits.

Is the chair big enough for taller diners?

At 580mm wide and 870mm high with a deep seat, it gives more room than a standard dining chair. The wide frame and arms suit taller and larger diners who want space to settle, and the depth means you can sit back rather than perch on the edge.

Does it need assembling?

No. The chair arrives fully assembled in a single box, weighing 12.5kg. You can unpack it and place it at the table straight away, with no tools or fixings to deal with. Give the cushions a quick plump once it is out of the packaging.
