The Gramercy line of chairs and stools were designed and developed originally for the Gramercy Tavern Restaurant in NYC. The seating has since been specified for numerous restaurants and commercial settings as well as in hundreds of private homes. These are very comfortable chairs; firm but not hard with ample support in all the right places. Not only is the leather incredibly durable, but we also add rubberized webbing to the seat so that the leather will not sag.
