Vienna Cantilever Dining Chairs: Cane-Look Back, Chrome C-Frame, 136kg, Tan or Green
By Furniture1002 min read
The Vienna is our most reviewed cantilever chair, twenty times over, and the one that pairs the cane-and-chrome look with a seat you would want to sit on for a whole meal. A rattan-style cane backrest in a warm wood-effect frame, a padded seat, and polished chrome C-shaped legs with no back legs at all, rated to 136kg.
What it is
A cantilever dining chair. The chrome C-shaped frame carries the seat with nothing behind it, so the chair floats visually and gives slightly when you lean back. The backrest is a cane-style weave in a wood-effect surround, open and breathable. The seat is cushioned: tan faux leather on one version, green on the other.
The stated load is 136kg per chair. It is sold as a set of two, and the maker pitches it for dining rooms, kitchens, flats, cafés and desks.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants the mid-century cane-and-chrome chair without worrying about natural cane in a kitchen. The cane-look back brushes clean and does not mind a warm room. The cantilever frame means the chairs do not rock on an uneven floor, because they rest on two runners rather than four points.
Katie's review picks out the detail that matters: "Comfy and quality chairs. Really liked that the backs seem a bit lower than other models. It was easy to assemble." A lower back keeps the chair light in a room and lets it tuck under a table with a rail.
Tan or green
Tan faux leather is the classic pairing with cane and chrome, warm and mid-century. Green is the one that turns a dining room into a room people comment on, and it suits plants, oak and cream walls. Frame and chrome are the same on both.
What buyers say
Twenty reviews. Sturdy, easy to build, and better than expected are the three threads.
"Amazing! Exactly what I was looking for. Sturdy heavy weight but still comfortable. Super easy to build."
"Excellent, aesthetic and sturdy chairs. I was unsure in the beginning, however, when they arrived they were very straightforward to install and they look aesthetically pleasing."
Living with it
Wipe the seat with a damp cloth. Brush the cane-look back or vacuum it with the soft attachment. Keep the chrome dry and fingerprint-free with a dry cloth. Felt pads on the runner ends on a hardwood floor.

Frequently asked questions
How much weight does the Vienna take?
The product page states each chair holds up to 136kg on its chrome C-shaped frame.
Is the cane back real cane?
The page describes it as a natural cane-style, rattan-style backrest in a wood-effect frame. Treat it as a cane look rather than natural cane: it is the version for a kitchen or a busy household, and it brushes clean.
Why do buyers mention the back height?
One reviewer liked that the backs sit a bit lower than other models. A lower back keeps the chair visually light and lets it tuck under most tables, and several buyers use the word sturdy in the same breath, so lower does not mean flimsy.
What does a cantilever base do at a table?
There are no back legs. The chair sits on a C-shaped chrome frame that gives slightly when you lean, and it slides in and out rather than lifting. On a hard floor, felt pads on the runner ends are worth fitting.
Do they come as a pair?
Yes, a set of two in each colour.
