Features
The Darafeev Dara is an upholstered dining chair with a padded seat and back, Flexback movement, and suspension seating underneath the cushion.
It has a clean, tailored shape that works around both casual and more formal dining tables, while the upholstery gives it a softer feel than a traditional all-wood chair.
For anyone looking for comfortable dining chairs that still have a relatively streamlined profile, the Dara is an easy style to work with.
Flexback Gives the Back a Little Movement
Darafeev’s Flexback allows approximately 1 to 1½ inches of movement when you lean into the chair.
It’s subtle, but it makes a noticeable difference during longer meals because the back doesn’t feel completely rigid.
That added movement is what separates this Flexback dining chair from a standard fixed-back upholstered chair.
Suspension Seating Adds More Give
The padded seat is built with Darafeev’s suspension seating underneath.
Instead of placing the cushion directly over a hard platform, the suspension adds flexibility as you sit and shift your weight.
Combined with the upholstered back and Flexback movement, it makes the Dara a particularly nice padded dining chair for dinners, holidays, or evenings when people stay at the table long after the meal is finished.
Upholstered from Seat to Back
Both the seat and back are upholstered, giving the chair a softer and more finished appearance from every angle.
Choose fabric for a relaxed dining room, vinyl for easier maintenance, or leather for a richer leather dining chair.
A patterned fabric can make the chair more decorative, while a solid neutral keeps the silhouette clean and understated.
Maple Keeps the Wood Look Refined
The frame is made from maple, which has a finer and smoother grain than oak.
That gives this maple dining chair a cleaner wood appearance and lets the upholstery become more of the visual focus.
Choose from a range of maple finishes to coordinate with your dining table, flooring, cabinetry, or other furniture.
Customize the Chair Around Your Room
Choose the upholstery and maple finish that work best with the rest of your dining space.
At Barstool Comforts, you can request samples before ordering so you can compare the fabric, vinyl, or leather against your table and other finishes at home.
Because the chair itself is fairly clean in shape, changing the upholstery can take it from casual to traditional to much more contemporary.
