The Darafeev 960 is a tufted upholstered dining chair with arms that brings more comfort to a dining table, poker table, or game table.
A thick padded seat, upholstered button-tufted back, maple armrests, and suspension seating give it a more substantial feel than a typical dining side chair.
The upholstered back features subtle button tufting that gives the chair a more tailored, furniture-like look.
For shoppers searching for tufted dining chairs, the 960 has decorative detail without becoming overly formal. The final look also changes dramatically depending on the upholstery you choose.
Use a neutral fabric for something understated, or choose leather for a richer leather tufted dining chair.
The maple arms give you somewhere comfortable to rest your arms while you sit, making this a natural choice if you’re looking for upholstered dining chairs with arms.
They also give the chair a more substantial presence around a dining or game table than the armless version of the 960.
If comfort is a priority, a dining arm chair can be especially nice for longer meals, card games, and evenings around the table.
The comfort goes beyond the visible padding.
Darafeev uses suspension seating underneath the cushion, which provides more give than placing the seat directly over a rigid platform.
That added flexibility helps this padded dining chair with arms feel more comfortable during longer stretches of sitting.
Although it works beautifully as an upholstered dining chair, the 960 is also well suited to a game room.
The padded seat, supportive back, and armrests make it a comfortable game table chair with arms or poker chair with arms, especially if you prefer stationary chairs over swivel or caster seating.
You can customize several chairs in the same finishes for a coordinated poker or game table setup.
The frame is made from maple, which has a finer, more understated grain than oak.
That smoother grain gives this maple dining chair a cleaner appearance and allows the upholstery and tufting to become more of the visual focus.
Choose from a range of maple finishes to coordinate the chair with your dining table, game table, cabinetry, or other wood furniture.
The upholstery is where you can really change the character of the chair.
A performance fabric works well for everyday dining, vinyl can be practical for easy cleanup, and leather gives the 960 a richer, more traditional look.
Between the button tufting, upholstery choices, and maple finishes, the 960 can go in several directions.
Keep it light and relaxed for a breakfast or dining area, choose darker finishes for a traditional game room, or pair leather with a rich maple finish for a more formal setting.
The term suspension seat comes from the liner suspended between the wood frame. As the occupant moves up and down, the liner gives, preventing the body from constantly hitting against a hard surface such as those found in stock seats.
