Designed in 1903, 137 of these chairs were delivered to the Willow Tea Rooms. The vast majority were quickly modified by the addition of a top slat at the back to prevent damage to the top bowed slat through constant lifting, probably without the involvement of Mackintosh. Only a very few examples survive without this addition.
