Gallery Direct Tarnby Dining Chairs, Taupe, Set of 2, Vintage Oak Legs, 51 cm Seat Height

Name: Gallery Direct Tarnby Dining Chairs, Taupe, Set of 2, Vintage Oak Legs, 51 cm Seat Height
Brand: Gallery Direct

Tarnby is a set of two dining chairs from Gallery Direct — an upholstered seat in taupe on gently curved oak legs in a Vintage Oak finish. The price covers two chairsThe first thing to check when ordering: Tarnby is sold only in packs of two. The stated price, the 16.5 kg weight and the packaged dimensions all refer to the pack, not to a single chair.For a typical six-seat table you therefore need three packs. Ordering them together also guarantees the fabric comes from one production batch — with neutral shades a batch difference can be visible, particularly in daylight. A 51 cm seat height — check this before buyingThis is the most important dimension on the chair and the one most often overlooked. Gallery Direct gives a seat height of 51 cm, where the market standard is 45–47 cm. Tarnby is therefore several centimetres taller than a typical dining chair.That has concrete consequences:Against a table at the standard 75–77 cm, you are left with 24–26 cm of leg clearance. It works, but it is tight — taller people may find their knees close to the underside.Against a table of 78–80 cm, or one with a deeper apron, the proportions are comfortable.Measure from the floor to the underside of the table frame, not to the top — that is what decides whether the chair tucks in.Seat depth is 45.5 cm and seat width 49 cm — full-size chair dimensions, not compact ones. Upholstery: the maker calls it “taupe linen”This difference is worth pointing out plainly. Gallery Direct describes the chairs as upholstered in neutral taupe linen, yet the same maker's material list states polyester. So this is a polyester fabric in a linen weave — the look of linen with the resilience and easy cleaning of a synthetic fibre.In a dining room that is an advantage rather than a compromise: polyester does not crease the way linen does, absorbs less from spills and stands up better to daily use at a table. The maker's full material list reads oak, plywood, polyester, foam and polyfibre. Taupe and Vintage Oak legsTaupe is a grey-brown — a colour that is neither definitely grey nor definitely beige. In practice that means the chairs sit happily with cool greys and with warm timber alike, and do not commit the room to one colour direction.The legs are oak in a Vintage Oak finish and gently curved. That is the element that sets the character: straight, angular legs would give a distinctly Scandinavian chair, whereas the soft curve takes the severity out of the form and lets it stand beside a solid timber table as readily as a glass one.

Seat and back come made up. It is a few minutes per chair, with no special tools.Gallery Direct classes Tarnby as indoor furniture. Polyester upholstery takes wet cleaning well, but this is not an outdoor fabric — left out in rain on a terrace it will soak through, and the foam dries very slowly.The pack weighs 18.85 kg gross, so it is manageable for one person, and at 500 x 580 x 650 mm it fits a lift and the boot of a larger car.Show more
