The Darafeev Classic is an upholstered game chair with casters made for poker tables, game rooms, dining spaces, and anywhere you want comfortable seating with a more traditional furniture look.
The tall upholstered back, adjustable height, Flexback movement, 360-degree swivel, suspension seating, and rolling casters are all designed for longer stretches of sitting.
Oak naturally shows more grain than maple, so the wood doesn’t disappear into the background.
You’ll see more variation and texture through the finish, especially along the back frame and caster base. A lighter stain can bring the grain forward, while a darker finish gives the chair a deeper, more traditional appearance.
If you want the wood itself to be part of the design, an oak swivel game chair is a great choice.
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 more comfortable position around the same poker or game table.
It also gives you a little more flexibility if your table sits 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 keeps the chair from feeling rigid during a long card game or evening around the table.
Combined with the padded back and suspension seat, this upholstered game chair is designed for the kind of sitting that tends to last a while.
Underneath the cushion is Darafeev’s suspension seating system.
Instead of placing the cushion directly over a hard platform, the suspension provides additional give as you shift and move in the chair.
That extra comfort is particularly useful in a poker chair with casters, where game nights can easily stretch for several hours.
The chair rotates a full 360 degrees and rolls on casters, making it easier to move in and out from the table without dragging a substantial wood 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 practical rolling game chair when several chairs are positioned closely together.
Nailhead trim can be added around the seat and back upholstery for a more tailored, traditional look.
Choose the nailhead finish that works best with your oak stain and upholstery, or leave it off for something simpler.
If you like the look of a nailhead trim game chair, this model gives you plenty of opportunity to make that detail stand out.
The seat and back can be upholstered independently, which opens up some great combinations.
Use leather or vinyl on the seat for easier cleanup, then bring in a patterned fabric on the back for more personality. Or choose leather throughout for a richer leather game chair that works beautifully with the visible oak grain.
This is also a good place to request samples from Barstool Comforts if you’re deciding between several wood, fabric, vinyl, or leather combinations.
The Classic is primarily designed as a game and poker chair, but its adjustable height, swivel, and caster base give it more versatility.
It can also work as a dining chair with casters when you want upholstered seating that moves easily while still looking like traditional furniture.
