960 Maple High Back Adjustable Game & Dining Chair with Casters

The Darafeev 960 High Back gives you the movement of a caster chair with the comfort and appearance of upholstered furniture.

Designed for dining tables, poker tables, and game rooms, it features a tall upholstered back, padded seat, wood arms, adjustable height, tilt, 360-degree swivel, and smooth-rolling casters.

If you’re looking for dining chairs with casters that offer more back support than a standard dining chair, this version of the 960 is especially worth considering.

A Taller Back for More Support

The defining feature of this 960 is its high upholstered back.

It gives you more surface area to lean against, which can feel especially nice during long dinners, poker games, or evenings around the table.

Combined with the padded seat and wood arms, the taller back gives this chair a much more substantial feel than a typical game chair with casters.

Adjust the Seat from 18″ to 22″

Use the lever underneath the seat to raise or lower the chair from 18″ to 22″.

That adjustability makes it easier for different people to find a comfortable position and allows the chair to work with a range of dining, poker, and game tables.

It’s one of the biggest advantages of an adjustable height game chair compared with a standard fixed-height dining chair.

Control the Tilt

The 960 also lets you control how much the chair reclines.

Tighten the adjustment knob when you want a firmer feel and less movement, or loosen it when you’d like to lean back farther. You can also tighten it fully when you prefer a more fixed sitting position.

That flexibility is particularly useful when the chair will be used for several hours at a time.

Swivel and Roll

The seat rotates a full 360 degrees, while casters underneath the base make it easy to roll in and out from the table.

That’s one reason dining chairs with wheels and poker chairs with casters work so well around larger tables. You can turn, move backward, or get up without constantly lifting and dragging the chair.

Here at Barstool Comforts, we like caster chairs for game and dining spaces because they make a heavier, upholstered chair much easier to move.

Arms Add Another Layer of Comfort

The maple wood arms give you a natural place to rest your arms while you’re sitting.

They also make the chair feel more like a substantial dining armchair than a standard gaming seat, which is useful if your game table shares space with a dining or entertaining room.

Suspension Seating Underneath

There’s more going on underneath the cushion than you can see.

Darafeev uses suspension seating, which provides more give than placing the cushion directly over a hard platform. As you move in the chair, the suspension system responds with you.

Combined with the padded seat, adjustable tilt, and high back, it makes the 960 especially well suited for longer stretches of sitting.

Maple Gives It a Cleaner Wood Look

The base and arms are made from maple, which has a finer, smoother grain than oak.

That means the wood finish tends to look more even and understated, especially if you’re choosing a lighter or cleaner finish. It also allows the upholstery to become more of the focal point.

Choose a wood finish that coordinates with your dining table, game table, or other furniture in the room.

Customize the Upholstery

Choose from fabric, vinyl, or leather for the seat and high back.

A patterned fabric can give it a traditional game-room personality, while a neutral performance fabric can make it work beautifully as a high back dining chair with casters. Leather gives it a richer, more tailored look.

Game Room, Dining Room, or Home Office

The 960 High Back is primarily a game and dining chair, but its adjustable height, tilt, swivel, arms, and rolling base also make it useful in a home office.

It’s a good option for someone who wants many of the functions of an office chair, but prefers the look of wood and upholstery.
