Grayson are popular dining chairs from Pottery Barn that feature four in style colors from chocolate, red, orange, to green. Two of the common comments on these chairs are their comfort and ease of cleaning. Leather upholstery makes for easy maintenance. If a child or guest drops something on the chair it cleans up easily, because it is difficult to stain leather. The padding and leather create a very comfortable dining chair where one can sit for long periods of time without back pain. Grayson is available in an armchair or side chair variety. Price: armchair - $499; side chair - $299. Product: here.
