Tanso Side Chair
At 26.5 pounds of solid Grade A teak, this side chair moves to wherever the meal is.
The lightest seat in David Irwin's Tanso series for Case Furniture strips outdoor dining back to essentials: clear structure, honest material, and a compact footprint designed to stack and store. It arrives fully assembled and works as readily indoors as out.

Common Questions
Which Tanso tables does it pair with?
Both dining tables — the rectangular (in two sizes) and the round. Its 17.5-inch seat height matches their 28.7-inch table height for standard dining comfort.
Can I add a cushion?
Yes — an optional removable seat cushion (sold separately) adds comfort without changing the chair's clean silhouette; it secures in place with toggle buttons.
Does it need assembly or special care?
No assembly — it arrives ready to use. Care is a seasonal wash with mild detergent and a soft brush; avoid abrasive cleaners and solvents.
