Smith Dining Chair - Black with Silver

Sold as a pack of two, the Smith dining chair pairs padded velvet upholstery with a slim metal frame. The seat and backrest are covered in soft black velvet, while the legs carry a matt black finish for a clean, contemporary look. Each chair measures 480mm wide, 490mm deep and 800mm high, making it a comfortable fit around most dining tables. The open, curved backrest gives good support and helps stop crumbs gathering behind the sit, so the design stays as practical as it is easy on the eye.

Because the shape stays simple, these chairs sit well in a modern dining room, a kitchen diner or a smaller flat where you want seating that does not crowd the room. The black and silver colourway works alongside pale or dark tables alike, so you can pair them with a wooden top, a glass surface or a painted finish without much fuss. The minimalist look means they slot in easily as you change other pieces around them. The two-per-pack format also suits a small breakfast table or a desk setup where you need matching seating.

The frame is metal for steadiness, and the velvet is a fabric covering rather than leather, giving a soft, brushed feel underhand. Full assembly is needed, and each set of two arrives in a single box weighing 5.0kg. Keep the velvet looking its best by wiping it with a damp cloth or working over it gently with a soft brush to lift dust and light marks. Avoid soaking the fabric, and dry any damp patches promptly. With this routine the chairs stay tidy for everyday use across the year.

Is this a real velvet chair?

The seat and backrest are upholstered in a soft black velvet fabric, giving a brushed, comfortable feel. This is a woven textile covering rather than leather. The frame beneath is metal, which supports the padded seat and keeps the chair steady during everyday use at the table.

How do I clean the velvet?

Wipe the fabric with a clean, damp cloth or run a soft brush over it to lift dust and light marks. Avoid soaking the velvet and dry any damp areas promptly. Regular gentle brushing helps keep the pile looking even and stops crumbs settling into the weave.

How many chairs come in a pack?

You receive two chairs per pack, supplied together in a single box weighing 5.0kg. This makes the set handy for a small dining table, a breakfast nook or a compact kitchen diner where you need two matching seats without buying them separately.

What are the dimensions of each chair?

Each chair measures 480mm wide, 490mm deep and 800mm high. The height covers the full backrest, while the seat sits lower for comfort. Check these figures against your table height before ordering so the chairs tuck under neatly when not in use.

Do the chairs need assembling?

Yes, full assembly is needed. The legs and frame arrive flat within one box, so you will need to fix the parts together before use. The process is straightforward, and once built each chair offers a supportive padded seat and open-back shape for everyday dining.
