All About the Bases: Comfort, Style, and Ease of Mobility

C946 and C846 have different Wood Cladding

When it comes to dining chairs, we want them to be more than just functional - they should be comfortable, stylish, and easy to move around in. At Chromcraft, we've designed the base of our swivel-tilt chairs with exactly that in mind.

A Look Back at Our Heritage:

In the early 1980s, the kitchen became a hub of activity for many American families. It was where they gathered together to share meals, make memories, and entertain friends and loved ones. Chromcraft saw an opportunity to revolutionize the way people interacted in their homes by introducing the first swivel-tilt, rolling caster dining chair.

Innovating Comfort with Mobility:

By innovating and pioneering the concept of a comfortable, mobile dining chair, Chromcraft redefined what families could expect from their furniture. Our swivel-tilt chairs offered a game-changing combination of comfort and mobility, allowing people to enjoy meals and conversations in a relaxed, conversational setting.

Key Features:

  • Hybrid, twin-wheel soft caster: Our chairs feature a unique casting system that rolls smoothly across most surfaces (carpet, hardwood, laminate, concrete, tile, and finished stone), reducing resistance and noise.
  • Adjustable Tilt: The swivel knob on your Chromcraft chair is pre-set to provide a comfortable and stable experience, but we know that everyone's preferences are different. The swivel tension can be adjusted to suit your needs. 

Find the Perfect Tension:

To ensure your Chromcraft chair provides the perfect level of comfort and support, it's essential to adjust the spring tension to your liking. Here's how:
  1. Locate the spring knob: Find the small metal knob located on the underside of the chair seat.
  2. Adjust the spring tension: Turn the spring knob clockwise or counterclockwise to compress or loosen the spring as desired. This will allow you to customize the level of comfort and support for your seat.
  3. Eliminate noise, if needed: If a slight creaking or squeaking sound develops while adjusting the spring tension, simply turn the knob lightly in either direction to eliminate it.

Pre-Set Setting: The swivel knob is initially set at 180 pounds of resistance for optimal stability.

Adjustment Range: For your convenience, the swivel tension can be adjusted within a range of 90 pounds to 300 pounds. This allows you to customize the feel and responsiveness of the chair to suit your individual preferences.

By adjusting the swivel tension to your liking, you can ensure that your Chromcraft chair provides the perfect blend of comfort and support for your dining experience.

Wood-clad Base Options:

Depending on your style, you can choose from our C846 model with a narrower wood cladding or our C946 model with a wider one - both designed to add a touch of elegance to your dining space.

The Benefits:

Whether you're a young family with kids, middle-aged, or a senior, our Chromcraft chairs offer the perfect combination of comfort, style, and ease of mobility. With their innovative "theater-style" seating, you can tilt back and personalize your comfort while enjoying dinner, doing homework, or participating in family game night.
