G-Roma Chair: hexagonal stitching, gold legs, a 97cm back

The G-Roma Chair is the hexagonally stitched one. The description gives shimmer velvet upholstery, hexagonal stitching across the back, gold legs and an ornate lion knocker, at a listed size of 64 x 56 x 97cm. The photographs and the two finishes are on the G-Roma Chair (Lion Knocker/Gold Legs) page, and the stitching is the detail to judge there rather than from any description.

64 x 56 x 97cm at a table

The 97cm is the overall height to the top of the back. The other two are the footprint, unlabelled, so ask us which is the seat width and which is front to back before you plan a set in a tight room.

Taking 64cm as the width: two chairs need 128cm of table edge, three need 192cm, and you want a gap between each, so read that as about 140cm for two and 210cm for three. Behind the chair, allow its depth again so it can be pushed back and sat in. The 56cm footprint figure is 4cm more than the 52cm on the Lewis listings, which adds up across six chairs in a narrow room.

At 97cm the back stands above the top of a dining table by a long way, so measure to any window sill or wall shelf behind the table and compare. It is also worth checking the chair turns through your doorway on its diagonal.

Silver Grey or Shiny Mink

Two finishes are listed. Both are described as shimmer velvet, which changes tone as you move past it, so the photographs of each are a better guide than the names. Silver grey is the cooler of the two and sits with grey flooring and white walls. Mink is warmer and leans towards oak and brass, which is also where the gold legs point. The listing gives no composition, rub figure or cleaning code for either, so ask us what the supplier states before ordering.

The other Roma listings

Roma is a name that runs across several separate listings here, and they are not the same chair with a different leg. Each carries its own description and its own size, so read the page rather than assuming it matches this one.

• Roma Chair (Lion Knocker/Chrome Legs) for the same knocker on chrome.
• Roma Chair (No Knocker/Chrome Legs) if you want the shape without the ornament.
• Roma PU Chair (Lion Knocker/Chrome Legs) where polyurethane beats velvet.

If you want gold legs with a lower back, the G-Milan Chair shares the 64 x 56cm footprint and stops at 86cm, which keeps a sightline open across an open-plan room.

What the listing does not say

• Seat height. Not given. Measure your table apron and ask us.
• Fabric detail. Shimmer velvet, with no composition or cleaning instructions.
• Frame, filling and weight limit. Not stated.
• Assembly. Not stated.

The G-Roma is a chair we supply rather than part of our own range, so every one of those answers has to come from the supplier. Ask us and we will get them for you instead of guessing in print.

Before you order

• Measure the usable table edge, allowing for corner legs.
• Divide by 64cm plus a gap, and be honest about the result.
• Measure floor to sill behind the table and compare with 97cm.
• Ask us for the seat height and the fabric detail together.

Delivery is free within 50 miles of our Glasgow store and £50 beyond. The stitching is best judged from the photographs on the G-Roma Chair page, and the rest of the choice is in Dining Chairs.
