The Eleanor Dining Chair in Hay is upholstered in 100% polyester over a metal frame, with a foam-filled seat at 460mm. Its fabric is rated 94,000 on the Martindale scale. The back is rounded rather than flat.

Hay is a warm straw neutral, the sort of colour that stops a dining room feeling cold without committing to an actual hue. It sits comfortably with oak, rattan and linen, which is most of what an Australian dining room is made of.

Worth noting that the frame here is metal. On a fully upholstered chair you never see it, but it is the part doing the structural work, and it is what keeps the chair square after years of being dragged in and out from a table. Foam fill gives an even, firm sit rather than a soft one, which is the right choice for dining, where you want support rather than sink.
