How to choose chair legs and upholstery: a practical guide to the product sheet

Have you found the perfect chair for your space, but are stuck when faced with the customization options? Don't worry: on Progetto Sedia, the product sheet is designed to guide you through every choice, from the type of legs to the upholstery, to the exact color. In this article, we'll explain, step by step, how to use the online configurator to make a purchase with the certainty of having chosen exactly what's right for you.

The product sheet: everything you need to choose

When you access a Progetto Sedia product sheet, you'll immediately find the key information: photographs of the product from various angles, detailed measurements (width, depth, partial and total height, weight), delivery times, and the updated price with any active promotions. Scrolling down the page, you reach the heart of the configuration: the variants panel, fixed on the right side of the screen, which allows you to build your own version of the product by selecting the available options.

Step 1: Choose the leg finish

The first element to configure is the leg finish. Depending on the model, you can find different color variations represented by visual swatches: for example, chrome, sand, bronze, or painted black. Simply click on the corresponding swatch to select your preference. This choice affects the overall appearance of the chair and can make a difference in how it integrates with your existing furnishings.

Step 2: Choose the upholstery - CAT. 1 and CAT. 2

The next section is dedicated to the upholstery, divided into two categories. CAT. 1 includes basic fabrics and eco-leathers, such as velvet, nubuck, structured fabrics, and eco-leathers in classic variations. CAT. 2 includes technical or higher-end materials, designed for specific needs such as scratch resistance (ideal for pet owners) or greater durability for contract use.

Hovering the mouse over each sample displays a tooltip showing the name of the material and any additional cost compared to the base price. To discover all the colors available for each fabric or eco-leather, open the corresponding PDF upholstery folder, accessible via the link on the page. Each swatch book shows the color variations labeled with a numerical code (e.g., 01, 02, 03, etc.) accompanied by a close-up photograph of the texture.

Step 3: Enter the color code

Once you've browsed the swatch book and chosen the desired color, return to the product page and enter the code in the appropriate field (e.g., "03"). A green checkmark will confirm that your selection has been saved correctly. This step is crucial: without the color code, the order cannot be processed with the correct variation.

Step 4: Set the quantity and add to cart

With the variations configured, use the + and – buttons to set the desired number of pieces. Please note that many products have a minimum order of 2 pieces per package: this information is always clearly indicated on the product page. The total price updates in real time as the quantity changes. Once you're satisfied with your configuration, click "Add to cart": a confirmation pop-up will appear, allowing you to continue browsing the catalog or proceed directly to checkout.

00:06 – 00:15 | Exploring the Upholstery (CAT. 1 and CAT. 2)

The cursor moves to the section dedicated to upholstery. Hovering over the Spice Fabric (CAT. 1), an informative tooltip suggests consulting the attached folder for a precise choice. Here you can view all the available variants, from eco-leathers to Category 2 technical fabrics like Carabu, ideal for those seeking superior resistance in contract or high-wear residential contexts.

00:15 – 00:24 | Viewing the PDF Swatch Book

To ensure your chosen color matches your expectations exactly, the video shows how to open the Spice Fabric PDF Swatch Book. This technical document features high-resolution photographic samples (from gray-beige to midnight blue) and icons relating to the material's washability and care. It's the essential tool for checking the product's texture and color rendering.

00:24 – 00:36 | Entering the color code and updating prices

Back on the product page, you'll be shown how to enter the specific code (in this case, "03") in the dedicated field. A green checkmark confirms your choice. You'll notice that the system updates the total VAT included and payment details in real time, including installment plans with PayPal or HeyLight, essential for planning the furnishing of an entire living room or restaurant.

00:36 – 00:44 | Add to cart and confirm

The process concludes by clicking "Add to cart". A confirmation pop-up summarizes your action, allowing you to proceed immediately to checkout or continue browsing our catalog of designer chairs.
