Carlisle Curved Back Dining Arm Chair | Black Leather w/ Black Wood

Every dining room deserves a seat that works as hard as it looks. The Carlisle Dining Armchair is built for retailers and designers who need a piece that reads as considered, not filler — one that anchors a full dining set or works equally well as accent seating.

Rather than forcing a choice between comfort and structure, the Carlisle delivers both. Its black leather seat feels considered against everyday use, while the black wood frame brings the strength retailers can stand behind. Meanwhile, the tapered wood legs keep the silhouette visually balanced, and the integrated arms add structure and an easy resting point for effortless daily use.

• Seat-to-Table Clearance: With roughly 9 inches between the seat and a standard 30 inch table, the Carlisle offers comfortable everyday legroom without oversized bulk
• Diner Guest Spacing: At about 24 inches wide, the Carlisle fits neatly within a standard 24 inch per-person table allowance, letting guests sit close without crowding elbows
• Mindful Materials: Black leather rests atop a black wood frame
• Backrest Height and Style: A tripod backrest keeps sightlines open across the table while still offering supportive, upholstered comfort
• Arm Chair Benefits: Use the Carlisle at the head of the table to anchor the space visually, with integrated arms offering a natural resting point
• Leggy Balance vs Heavy: Tapered wood legs keep the Carlisle visually light, preventing a full table setting from feeling heavy or overcrowded
• Upholstered vs Hard: Plush leather across the seat and back supports long, relaxed dining, unlike wood or molded seating built purely for durability
• Cushioning Density: Generous padding across the seat and back makes the Carlisle comfortable for long, relaxed dining sessions
• Style Cohesiveness: The black wood frame and black upholstery pair naturally with wood or metal dining tables in modern to transitional interiors
• Shipping and Setup: Ships fully assembled in 1 box at approximately 34 pounds, a one-person setup ready to place in minutes

The Carlisle arrives fully assembled in 1 box, so there is no hardware to sort or steps to follow before it is ready to place at the table. At approximately 34 pounds, it is manageable for one person to unpack, position, and set up in minutes. As with all Mercana pieces, it is backed by our standard manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
