Evaluation results are based on sample provided on date listed. Fabric content and characteristics may be changed by fabric supplier without notice. These changes may alter the evaluation results. National is not responsible for any fabric changes that alter the evaluation results.

Fabric Appearance Guidelines

Please note that these guidelines are here to help you have the best looking product that National can provide to you. Guidelines 1-4 are simply explanations of what you may see on your chair. We can still upholster fabrics associated with these guidelines, but you may see some of the characteristics described.

 1  Due to thickness and or stiffness this textile may result in gathers and puckers around corners, contours and certain seams.
 2  Patterns are considered matched directional however,decorative stitching, tufting/buttons, seams and seat to back match on corner units, wedge units, and diagonal units may not be aligned due to pattern configuration.
 3  Textile with high nylon or wool content (more than 50%) may show signs of material stretch and lack of rebound when room temperatures fluctuate.
 4  Mohair, velvet and chenille may be easily bruised or have the potential of crooked seams due to the heavy nap and flip.

Fabric Restriction Guidelines

Fabrics associated with guidelines 5 and 6 prevent us from upholstering the applicable chair series.

 5  This textile cannot be used for glue application. Potential issues could include poor adhesion quality to the mating surface, separation of the fabric face from the backing or glue bleeding through the fabric.
 6  Thin and/or loosely woven textiles cannot be used due to potential fabric separation at the seams.
