The Darafeev Classic is an upholstered game chair with casters designed for poker nights, card games, dining, and other spaces where you want comfortable seating with a more traditional furniture look.
For someone looking for a traditional game chair rather than something that resembles an office chair, the exposed maple frame and tailored upholstery give this one plenty of character.
Use the lever underneath the seat to raise or lower the chair from 18″ to 22″.
That makes the Classic a true adjustable height game chair, allowing different people to find a comfortable position around the same poker or game table.
It can also be helpful when your table sits slightly higher or lower than a standard dining surface.
Darafeev’s Flexback allows approximately 1 to 1½ inches of movement when you lean into the back.
It isn’t a full recline, but it gives the chair enough movement to keep you from feeling locked into one position during a long game or dinner.
Combined with the padded upholstery and suspension seating underneath the cushion, the Classic is designed for the kind of sitting that lasts longer than a quick meal.
The Classic rotates a full 360 degrees, while casters underneath the maple base let you move in and out from the table without dragging the chair across the floor.
As a swivel game chair, it’s easy to turn toward another player or reach something nearby. The casters also make it a convenient rolling game chair when several chairs are arranged closely around one table.
For poker rooms, it works naturally as a poker chair with casters.
The padded seat includes Darafeev’s suspension seating, which provides more flexibility underneath the cushion than sitting directly over a hard platform.
That added give is especially useful in an upholstered game chair like this, where comfort matters just as much as the way the chair looks.
The Classic can also be customized with nailhead trim around the upholstery.
That detail gives the chair a more tailored, traditional appearance and can help define the shape of both the seat and back.
If you like the look of a nailhead trim game chair, you can choose the finish that works best with the maple frame and upholstery.
The exposed frame and caster base are made from maple.
Maple has a finer, smoother grain than oak, giving this maple game chair a cleaner wood appearance that works especially well with detailed fabrics, leather, and nailhead trim.
One of the nice things about the Classic is that the seat and back upholstery can be selected separately.
That opens up some interesting combinations. You might use leather or vinyl on the seat for easier cleanup, then bring in a patterned fabric on the back for more personality.
You can also choose the maple finish, nailhead trim, and caster-cap finish. Barstool Comforts offers free samples if you want to see how your upholstery and wood choices work together before ordering.
Although the Classic is primarily a game and poker chair, its adjustable seat height and rolling base give it more versatility.
It can also work as a dining chair with casters when you want traditional upholstered seating that is easier to move in and out from the table.
