Lewis 01 Plush Chair: one dark grey, and the 94cm back

The Lewis 01 Plush Chair is the single-finish one. The description gives a structured Chesterfield back, a diagonally stitched front panel, chrome legs and a lion knocker, in velvet, listed at 65 x 52 x 94cm and available in dark grey. One finish keeps the decision simple, and leaves the measurements as the only real question. The gallery is on the Lewis 01 Plush Chair (Lion Knocker/Chrome Legs) page.

65 x 52 x 94cm, and what it needs

The 94cm is the overall height to the top of the back. The first two figures are the footprint, and the listing does not label them, so ask us which is the seat width and which is front to back before you plan a tight room.

Read 65cm as the width and two chairs want 130cm of table edge, three want 195cm, and a gap between each pushes those to roughly 140cm and 210cm. So a 150cm table takes two a side and a 210cm table takes three. Behind each chair allow its depth again, so it can be pushed back and sat in without the back hitting a wall or blocking a walkway. In a through-room that is often the figure that decides the set, not the table.

Dark grey only, and where plush comes from

The listing offers one finish. There is no swatch choice to make, which is a genuine advantage if you are matching to flooring or a rug you already own and a dark grey is what you want. If you need a paler tone, the Lewis Chair (Lion Knocker/Chrome Legs) lists Light Grey and Mink at exactly the same 65 x 52 x 94cm size, so you can change the colour without redoing any of the sums above.

Plush comes from the product name. The description itself says only velvet, so treat plush as part of the name rather than a specification: there is no composition, no pile detail, no rub figure and no cleaning code anywhere on the listing. Judge the pile and the depth of the dark grey from the photographs, and ask us for the supplier's fabric detail if the chairs are going round a table in daily use.

The three Lewis listings side by side

All three share the same listed size, so the choice is metal and fabric only.

The other two listings both name shimmer velvet, which shifts tone as the light moves across it. This one does not use that word and does not say how its velvet differs, so compare the photographs rather than the adjectives. None of the three descriptions tells you how the fabric will wear, so if that is the deciding question, ask us rather than reading it out of a name. For another chrome-legged chair with the same lion knocker but its own size and shape, see the Mayfair Chair (Lion Knocker/Chrome Legs) and read its own figures.

What the listing does not say

• Seat height. Missing, and it decides whether the chair slides under your table apron.
• Fabric composition and cleaning. Not given.
• Frame, filling and weight limit. Not stated.
• Assembly. The listing does not say whether the legs arrive fitted.

This is a chair we supply rather than one from our own range, so the specification is the supplier's. Ask us and we will get the answer rather than print an assumption.

Before you order

• Measure the usable table edge and divide by 65cm plus a gap.
• Measure the gap behind each chair, including any walkway.
• Ask us for the seat height and measure your table apron.
• Order the full set together so the velvet comes from the same run where possible.
