Nicholas Open Back Dining Arm Chair | Onyx Brown Wood

Every dining room deserves a seat that works as hard as it looks. The Nicholas Dining Armchair is built for retailers and designers who need a piece that reads as considered, not filler — one that anchors a full dining set or works equally well as desk or accent seating.

Rather than forcing a choice between comfort and structure, the Nicholas delivers both. Its brown wood seat feels considered against everyday use, while the solid wood frame brings the strength retailers can stand behind. Meanwhile, the tapered wood legs keep the silhouette visually balanced, and the integrated arms add structure and an easy resting point for effortless daily use.

• Seat-to-Table Clearance: With roughly 12 inches between the seat and a standard 30 inch table, the Nicholas offers comfortable everyday legroom without oversized bulk
• Diner Guest Spacing: At about 20 inches wide, the Nicholas fits neatly within a standard 24 inch per-person table allowance, letting guests sit close without crowding elbows
• Mindful Materials: Brown wood rests atop a solid wood frame
• Backrest Height and Style: A open back backrest keeps sightlines open across the table while still offering supportive, upholstered comfort
• Arm Chair Benefits: Use the Nicholas at the head of the table to anchor the space visually, with integrated arms offering a natural resting point
• Leggy Balance vs Heavy: Tapered wood legs keep the Nicholas visually light, preventing a full table setting from feeling heavy or overcrowded
• Upholstered vs Hard: Plush wood across the seat and back supports long, relaxed dining, unlike wood or molded seating built purely for durability
• Cushioning Density: Generous padding across the seat and back makes the Nicholas comfortable enough to double as a desk chair or accent seat when needed
• Style Cohesiveness: The solid wood frame and brown upholstery pair naturally with wood or metal dining tables in modern to transitional interiors
• Shipping and Setup: Ships fully assembled in 1 box at approximately 28 pounds, a one-person setup ready to place in minutes

The Nicholas arrives fully assembled in 1 box, so there is no hardware to sort or steps to follow before it is ready to place at the table. At approximately 28 pounds, it is manageable for one person to unpack, position, and set up in minutes. As with all Mercana pieces, it is backed by our standard manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
