Featuring a supportive mid-back profile and generously padded seat, the chair is wrapped in a durable, textured brown woven fabric. The standout visual feature is the sculptural, polished wooden armrests and matching five-star caster base, which lend a warmer, more classic aesthetic than standard all-plastic or chrome office chairs.

Color & Finish
Medium golden-brown wood stain with a semi-gloss lacquer finish on the arms and base; monochromatic brown textured tweed-like fabric upholstery.
Construction Method
Mass-produced factory assembly utilizing engineered internal frames, plywood shell, steel pneumatic lift mechanism, bolted wood arms, and screwed-in caster base.
Joinery & Craftsmanship
Standard commercial manufacturing joinery using metal brackets, heavy-duty screws, and dowels. Solid wood elements are machine-carved and smoothly sanded.
Wood Grain & Species
Smooth, subtle grain pattern typical of utility hardwoods like rubberwood or stained oak, without specialized inlays or marquetry.
Surface Treatment
Smooth spray-applied polyurethane finish on the exposed wooden armrests and base, designed for durability against daily wear.
Upholstery Details
Textured brown tweed-style woven fabric, dense foam padding for support, integrated seat and backrest design without removable cushions, standard clean-finished edges.

Exposed fastening bolts on the arms, black plastic dual-wheel casters, and standard height-adjustment/swivel mechanism hardware beneath the seat.

Condition Notes
Good used condition. The upholstery shows minor surface dust and typical light piling consistent with regular use. The wooden armrests exhibit minor scuffs and surface scratches, particularly on the left arm. Mechanically sound with intact casters and operational frame.
Interesting Facts
The incorporation of exposed solid wood elements into office chairs became exceptionally popular in the 1980s and 1990s as home offices transitioned from purely utilitarian spaces into extensions of residential living rooms.
Cultural Significance
Reflects the shift in modern interior design towards humanizing corporate and home-office environments by softening industrial office furniture with traditional residential materials like wood and textured fabrics.
Similar Pieces
Traditional Banker's chairs or modern executive leather chairs with wooden trim. Distinguished by its fully upholstered soft shell rather than exposed wood-slat backs.
Care & Maintenance
Vacuum fabric upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust. Spot clean stains with a mild upholstery detergent. Dust wooden components with a soft cloth and occasionally apply a quality furniture polish or conditioner to maintain the finish.
Value Estimate
Estimated retail resale value between $50 to $150 USD, depending on local market demand and mechanical functionality.
Sustainability Notes
Standard manufactured office furniture with limited eco-certifications. However, its durability and potential for reupholstery contribute to a longer product lifecycle, reducing immediate landfill waste.
