About this piece

Choosing the Ernest Armchair, Ladder-Back Aluminum starts with its place in the room, from the guest's seat to the route behind it. The frame construction is aluminum w wood look. The listed seating surfaces are fabric or vinyl. The remaining details are a stated capacity limit of 500 lb, a listed individual weight of 19 lb, and arms flanking the seat.

The configuration consists of the metal finish range of 7 choices, such as Espresso, Cherry, and Natural, seat type selected from Padded Vinyl Seat and Padded Fabric Seat, and glides & casters selected from Black Nylon Glides, Plastic Adjustable Glides, Metal Adjustable Glides, and Front Casters. Further selection fields may appear as the configuration takes shape. The size given for this model is 18 1/2" W x 23" D x 34 3/4" H. Use this 18 inches seat measurement with a dining top around 29 to 30 inches when checking the seated position.

Leave roughly 18 to 24 inches for the chair to move back. A close-looking arrangement should still allow the guest to rise without shifting the adjacent table. Care should follow the materials at the seat and surface. Clean the vinyl with a mild soapy wash and a drying cloth, avoiding cleaners based on bleach or solvents. Blot wet spills from fabric straight away, and use its cleaning code when choosing further cleaning after vacuuming.

Record the chosen options in a seating plan before moving on to the next part of the room. Allow extra production time for the version built with your upholstery selections.
