Product details
Natural raffia weaving meets performance fabric durability in a dining chair built for everyday meals and gatherings. The Furniture Classics Robertson Dining Chair--an armless upholstered dining chair with a woven raffia back and performance linen seat--available at Sideboards and Things with free shipping. A dining chair is a seat designed for use at a dining table, typically standing 17 to 20 inches tall at the seat to pair comfortably with standard table heights, often sold in sets or mixed groupings to create a cohesive look around the table. This chair pairs gracefully curved raffia texture with a drop-in cushion that resists stains and everyday wear, all supported by a sustainably grown mahogany frame crafted by artisans in Indonesia.

Why the Robertson Chair Works at Sideboards and Things
The double-woven raffia back showcases the kind of handwork that gives reclaimed and sustainably sourced furniture its character--texture that ages gracefully and adds visual warmth from every angle. The removable seat cushion blends linen's natural feel with performance fabric engineering, resisting spills and daily wear while allowing quick updates or professional reupholstery as your style shifts. Cluster a set around a wood or marble table from our dining tables collection for a relaxed organic look, or mix the Robertson with other chairs from our dining chairs range for a curated, eclectic feel--the armless silhouette tucks neatly under most tables and works beautifully in tighter breakfast nooks, home office corners from our home office chairs lineup, or even as a bedroom reading chair.
How This Chair Fits Your Space
The Robertson's 27-inch width and 20-inch seat height pair comfortably with standard dining table heights, while the armless design allows it to slide fully beneath the table edge for a cleaner look when not in use. Its brown performance linen and natural raffia bring warmth to wood, glass, or marble surfaces, and the sustainable mahogany frame carries the heft and joinery you'd expect from heirloom-quality construction. The chair arrives fully assembled--no tools, no setup, ready the day it is delivered--and fits naturally into both formal dining rooms and casual spaces where meals and conversation happen daily.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes performance linen better for dining chairs with kids or pets?
- Performance fabrics resist stains and spills far better than untreated linen, and the Robertson's drop-in cushion lifts out for spot cleaning with mild soap and water or professional care when needed.
- Does the Robertson dining chair arrive assembled?
- Yes, this chair ships fully assembled and ready to use--no assembly, no tools, no setup required upon delivery, and shipping is free to the continental USA.
- Should I choose armless dining chairs or chairs with arms?
- Armless chairs like the Robertson tuck fully under the table for a cleaner look and more flexibility in tight spaces, while chairs with arms provide extra support during longer meals--your choice depends on table size and how you use the room.
- How do I care for the woven raffia back?
- Dust the raffia regularly with a soft cloth or vacuum attachment to prevent buildup; the weave is durable but natural, so keep it away from prolonged direct moisture.
- What color dining chair works best with a wood table?
- Brown dining chairs complement the natural warmth of wood tables across traditional and transitional styles, creating a grounded, cohesive look that pairs beautifully with the tones in our dining table sets.
- Can I mix the Robertson chair with other styles?
- Absolutely--the neutral brown linen and natural raffia texture anchor an eclectic mix, and the armless silhouette pairs gracefully with captain's chairs at the table ends or upholstered benches along the sides.
