About this piece

The Ernest Ladder-Back Aluminum Dining Chair is an upholstered back chair for the hotel restaurant and the function rooms beyond it.

Underneath it all, the frame is aluminum w wood look. For the seat, pick from fabric or vinyl. The specifications also give a rated load of 500 lb, a carrying weight of 15 lb, and a frame that stacks for storage. For the floor plan, work from 18 1/2" W x 23" D x 34 3/4" H. The listed seat height is 18.5 inches. Compare the selected seat height with the underside of your counter or table, including its apron, and allow space to sit and move.

The form asks for metal finish from 7 choices, among them Espresso, Cherry, and Natural, seat type picked from Padded Vinyl Seat or Padded Fabric Seat, and glides & casters picked from Black Nylon Glides, Plastic Adjustable Glides, Metal Adjustable Glides, or Front Casters. The form opens more fields as you choose. Care between events is short work. Dry vinyl after cleaning with mild soap, and leave bleach and solvents off the cart. Run a vacuum over fabric seats after the function, blot any spill straight away, and follow the cleaning code.

Each guest wants about 24 inches of table edge, and a full banquet can press that to 18 inches. Keep 18 to 24 inches clear behind each chair so the room still works when everyone rises. Add it to Property plans under the room's name, then download the sheet for the banquet office. Allow more time for upholstered versions; each is made to the choices you set.
