Polypropylene Seat

Creating our sturdy plastic dining chairs requires a specialised approach. We use high-grade polypropylene, known for its durability and lightweight properties. 

Our polypropylene (PP) plastic chairs undergo a multi-step manufacturing process that begins with the selection of high-quality polypropylene pellets. In the injection moulding stage, these pellets are melted and injected into a carefully designed mould to shape the entire chair, including the seat and backrest. Rapid cooling follows to solidify the molten polypropylene, and the demolding phase ensures the chair retains its intended structure. After cooling and solidification, the chair parts are assembled to form the final chair design.

Our PP plastic chairs are then put through quality control tests, including weight capacity, impact, durability, UV resistance, stability, and materials testing, to ensure they meet safety, quality, and performance standards.

Key Benefits

• Low Maintenance: PP plastic dining chairs are easy to clean and maintain. The material is resistant to stains, and a simple wipe with a damp cloth is often sufficient to keep them looking clean and well-maintained.
• Comfort Considerations: Our polypropylene chairs incorporate ergonomic features like contoured seats and backrests for enhanced comfort during prolonged sitting.
• Durability: Polypropylene (PP), a strong and lightweight plastic known for its durability. This material is resistant to scratches, dents, and everyday wear and tear, making them suitable for frequent use.
• Weather Resistance: Polypropylene is generally resistant to moisture, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor dining areas, although prolonged sun exposure might cause slight fading over time.
• Lightweight: Polypropylene chairs are significantly lighter compared to chairs made from materials like wood or metal. This makes them easy to move and handle, adding to their practicality and convenience, especially in dynamic or frequently reconfigured spaces.

Beechwood Legs

The popularity of beechwood in dining chair legs extends beyond just aesthetics. Its eco-friendliness and sustainability are key factors, as the wood is harvested from beech trees after their latex production cycle ends.

The journey of crafting durable beechwood dining chair legs involves a series of steps, beginning with the initial harvesting and culminating in thought-out design and construction. After the beechwood is harvested, it undergoes a drying process to reduce its moisture content, making it suitable for furniture construction. 

The shaped wood is then assembled using joinery methods such as mortise and tenon or dovetail joints, ensuring a seamless and durable integration of the carefully crafted chair leg designs.

Finally, the natural grain and colour of the beechwood chairs are enhanced through specialised staining and finishing techniques. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these beechwood legs provide exceptional stability and durability.

Care guide

• Regular Maintenance: Wipe down the chairs regularly with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth to remove dust and general dirt. For stubborn stains, use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the affected areas.
• Use Gentle Cleaners: Avoid using abrasive or harsh chemical cleaners on your plastic dining chairs as these can strip away the protective layer. Opt instead for mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions that are gentle on the plastic yet effective in removing dirt and stains.
• Test Cleaning Solutions: Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area: Always test any cleaning solution on a hidden area of the chair before applying it to the visible surface.

Sizing Guide

Chair Spacing: Maintain a space of at least 15cm between dining chairs to prevent overcrowding. Adequate spacing allows diners to move in and out of their seats easily, promoting a more enjoyable and functional dining experience. Consider the overall dimensions of the dining area when determining the optimal chair spacing.

Space to Move: Leave around 60cm between the chair back and your wall. This allows you and your guests to sit comfortably and manoeuvre without feeling cramped. Proper proximity ensures a seamless dining experience, allowing people to access their seats with ease.

Number of Chairs: Assess the available space around the dining table to determine the practical number of chairs that can comfortably fit. Consider the table's size, shape, and room dimensions to ensure adequate spacing between chairs for both visual appeal and ease of movement. Below is a general guide, but these are flexible dependent on the chair size and desired level of comfort:

Rectangular Tables

• 100cm or below: 4 people
