A turned-spindle back and arms with linen cushions. Light enough to move between rooms.
Measurements are for the first option. “Door” is the narrowest side, which is what passes a door frame. How to check access.
Choose an option first.
The spindles are turned one at a time and glued into the rails, which is the oldest way of making a chair back that there is. It gives a chair that is airy to look at and more upright than the open-frame chair: 42 cm seat, back angled at 105 degrees. It is the better of the two for writing or eating from a tray.
The ash option is paler than the oak at first and stays paler. Both are oiled, neither is lacquered, and both take a mark from a wet glass.

I measured the door against the number on the page and it went through on its side with four centimetres to spare, exactly as promised. The two delivery men were polite and quick.
The linen creases, as the page said it would. I have stopped noticing. What I notice is that the seat has not sagged at all in fourteen months.
Firmer than it looks and the oak has gone a shade darker already. Both of those were written in the list under Before you buy, which I read after it arrived. Read it before.

Natural oak is pale gold and darkens to amber. Smoked oak is fumed to a deep brown and stays there. Ash is the palest of the three and goes to honey. All are oiled, none lacquered.
