Franco Dining Chair

The Franco exaggerates a familiar shape: a wing-back dining chair pushed toward something more sculptural, with solid ash and ash veneer bent into flared sides instead of a straight ladder or slat back. Finished in a deep jet black or a natural umber tone, it carries real mid-century weight without copying a period piece. As a dining chair, it works as a statement piece at the ends of a table or as a full set.

At just 21 inches wide, it is narrow enough to line up six-across at a standard table, and the wing shape means it reads bigger than its footprint. A black top-grain leather seat cushion is also available for a softer sit.

Styling Tips

Because the shape is already sculptural, keep the table underneath it simple: a plain oak or stone top lets the wing-back silhouette stay the room's focal point. In Black, it pairs well against a pale table for contrast; Umber Ash blends into a warmer, wood-heavy room.

Use two as host chairs at the ends of a table with a simpler side chair, or run a full set of six or eight for a dining room that wants more character. Round out the space from our dining room furniture collection.

Returns & Exchanges
We want you to love what you bought. Not sure it's right? Ask about “If It Fits, It Sits” — take select in-stock pieces home for up to 2 days and live with them before you commit.

If your item came boxed and you still have the packaging, you've got 7 days from the day you get it to tell us you'd like to try something else. Bring it back to the showroom unused and in its box, and we'll put the full amount on store credit so you can find the right piece. Credit doesn't expire.

Custom orders, consignment, and floor models work differently — those are built to your specs, owned by someone else, or the last one on the floor, so they're final. That said, if you're in a real bind on a custom piece, tell us. Some of our vendors will take one back for a restocking fee, and we're happy to ask on your behalf.

Warranty
Warranty coverage comes from the manufacturer, so terms vary by brand. Several of the makers we carry offer a lifetime warranty on the frame, the springs, and the resiliency of the cushions; others cover a set number of years. Fabric and leather coverage is typically separate from structural coverage.

Whatever your piece carries, you don't have to chase it down. If something arrives damaged or a defect appears later, contact us and our claims department files with the manufacturer on your behalf and sees it through.
