The Eleanor Dining Chair in Powder Blue is fully upholstered in 100% polyester, with a rounded back and a 460mm seat height. The fabric carries a Martindale rating of 100,000. The back rises 350mm above the seat.

Powder blue has a reputation problem: it can slide towards nursery territory if everything around it is soft too. It works best against something with weight to it, a dark timber table or a stone top, where the pale blue reads as considered rather than sweet.

The abrasion rating is the notable figure. At 100,000 Martindale this fabric is specified well past what a domestic dining chair usually needs, and that matters more on a pale colour than a dark one, because pale upholstery shows wear as fuzzing and pilling long before it shows a hole. Seat depth is 420mm, which is on the compact side and helps the chair tuck fully under a table between meals.
