The Charter Street cushion is a hypoallergenic cushion that includes a high resiliency, Ultracel® foam core wrapped in plush, high loft polyester fiber, and surrounded by down-proof ticking, thereby creating a plump, softly inviting seat with a built-in crown. The Charter Street back pillows are comprised of high-quality polyester fiber packed in individually sewn channels to prevent migration. This creates a soft, yet tailored look with long-lasting resiliency. Seat cushions and back pillows feature a zippered envelope construction.

What are the Charter Street frames constructed of?

Charter Street frames are constructed of solid, kiln-dried Beechwood and engineered Baltic Birch hardwoods. All frames are double doweled, screwed and glued. Corner-blocks are used to reinforce corners and joints. Webbing is double webbed, to create a supportive, yet comfortable seat. Frames are layered with the highest quality polyurethane foam in a variety of thicknesses and compressions to create luxurious comfort. Cotton and batting are then layered to create additional comfort before any upholstery is applied. Edge rolls and other padding soften wood edges. All foams used by Charter Street contain no fluorocarbons or other harmful chemicals and pass all CA117 specifications.

Shipping & Delivery

Which shipping methods are available?

Charter Street ships from Archdale, North Carolina.  We prefer that you use your own carrier.

Warranty

Is there a Warranty?

Our high-quality upholstery frames carry a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser. Cushions and other parts are warrantied for 12 months, and it is strongly recommended where possible to flip and rotate cushions periodically to maintain their shape. Since fabric mills do not warranty their fabrics for wear or colorfastness, Charter Street assumes no responsibility for fabric wear and durability. Care must also be exercised with fabrics and leathers to avoid heat sources and direct sunlight. A professional cleaner should be consulted for the cleaning of spills and stains.
