The vanity table
The low end of the height range plus the armless silhouette make it the rare swivel chair that slides under a makeup vanity and looks like it belongs there.
Catalogue/Chairs & Seating/Data sheet
A 26-inch-wide seat with no arms and no wheels — built for the people who fold their legs up while they work.
Field notes
Most office chairs are engineered around a posture almost nobody holds all day: feet flat, knees at ninety degrees. The criss cross chair is FDW’s answer for everyone who actually works with one or both legs folded underneath them. The seat measures 26.3 inches across — closer to a small bench than a chair pan — with no armrests to box your knees in and a bed of native sponge padding under a U-shaped backrest that supports the back from the centre outward.
The second deliberate choice is the absence of wheels. The chair sits on a fixed base that swivels a full 360 degrees but does not roll, so it plants firmly while you shift your weight into a cross-legged position instead of skating out from under you. Combined with the armless profile, that also means it tucks completely under low desks, vanities and console tables when you stand up. Height adjusts pneumatically from a low 14.6-inch seat to 17.5 inches, and the materials carry SGS certification with a 250-pound rating.
The dossier
Sitting cross-legged in a normal task chair means jamming your knees against armrests and perching on a 19-inch pan. Here the geometry is reversed: the extra seven inches of seat width and the missing arms make the folded position the default rather than the workaround. The U-shaped backrest carries the load across the back and hips progressively, from the centre to the sides, instead of pressing a single lumbar bar into one spot.
A rolling base under a cross-legged sitter is a stability problem — every weight shift becomes a slow drift. The fixed swivel base keeps the chair planted while preserving the rotation you use to reach a printer or a second monitor. It also protects soft flooring: no casters, no caster tracks worn into the rug in front of the vanity.
The adjustment range starts at 14.6 inches — noticeably lower than a standard task chair will go. That makes it one of the few swivel chairs that genuinely works at makeup vanities, low writing desks and console tables, where a conventional office chair either will not fit underneath or leaves you towering over the surface.
The honest ledger
Deployment
The low end of the height range plus the armless silhouette make it the rare swivel chair that slides under a makeup vanity and looks like it belongs there.
In a workspace where every square foot counts, a chair with no arms and no caster footprint stores itself under the desk and keeps floor lanes clear.
Wide enough to pull both feet up with a book, stable enough not to creep across the floor while you do it.
Owner questions
Yes — that is the design brief. The seat is 26.3 inches wide and there are no armrests, so folding your legs onto the pan is comfortable rather than a squeeze.
It does. The base is fixed in place but the seat rotates a full 360 degrees, so you keep the mobility of a desk chair without the rolling.
The frame uses SGS-certified materials and is rated to support up to 250 pounds.
