Aberdeen Rustic Wooden Rattan Dining Chair Set of 2

Solid Rubberwood Chair With Weaved Rattan Seat & Back

Crafting solid rubberwood chairs with a rattan seat and back requires a multi-step manufacturing process. The process begins with the careful selection of high-quality rubberwood, prized for its durability and eco-friendly nature. Harvested from mature rubber trees, each piece undergoes precise cuts and shaping, ensuring optimal strength and resilience.

Rattan, sourced from sustainable vine-like palms, is prepared and woven mechanically, following a pre-programmed pattern that mirrors the artistry of handweaving. This automated process maintains consistency in the weave while upholding the chair's distinctive aesthetic. Once the mechanically woven rattan is ready, it is expertly affixed to the rubberwood frame, creating a seamless integration of materials.

Finally, fine sanding and polishing techniques reveal the inherent beauty of the rubberwood grain, while protective coatings are applied to guard against scratches and moisture.

Key Benefits

• Rich Tones & Hues: The rubberwood introduces a timeless touch of elegance, highlighting the inherent beauty found in rubber wood. Its application beautifully showcases the natural grain patterns and warm, inviting hues, contributing to a refined and visually captivating aesthetic for these dining chairs.
• Janka Hardness: Rubberwood exhibits a Janka hardness rating of around 1200 lbf, placing it within the "hard" category alongside other popular hardwoods like oak (1360 lbf) and maple (1450 lbf). This translates to good resistance to dents, minor scratches and everyday wear & tear.  
• Dimensional Stability: Rubberwood possesses a low shrinkage coefficient, meaning it experiences minimal dimensional changes due to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. This reduces the risk of warping, cracking, or joint failure over time.  
• Versatile Style: The combination of rubberwood’s strength and the captivating aesthetics, renders these chairs adaptable to a spectrum of interior styles. Whether in a traditional setting or complementing a modern decor scheme, these versatile pieces seamlessly integrate into diverse design aesthetics.
• Unique Rattan Weave: The rattan seat and seat back of this dining chair showcase an exquisite weave that adds a touch of natural charm and brings a unique texture and pattern to the chair. The inherent flexibility of rattan not only contributes to a comfortable seating experience but also ensures that each chair carries its own distinct character, making it a standout piece in any dining setting.

Care guide

• Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to regularly dust the surface of your rubberwood chairs, preventing the buildup of dirt and debris.
• Spills and Stains: Address spills and stains promptly. Blot up any liquids with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning Solution: For occasional deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution (like a few drops of dish soap in warm water). Apply the solution to a damp cloth, wring it out well to avoid excess moisture, and wipe down the chair surface. Dry thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
• Drying: Ensure the wood dries completely after cleaning to prevent water stains or warping. Never leave a damp cloth on the chairs.

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
• 110cm-170cm: 4-6 People
