Story
Sled base on spacers
The base of Meriggio has what Flexform calls a characteristic "sled" design, set on thermoplastic spacers. According to Flexform, the spacers keep the wood from touching damp outdoor surfaces.
Padded cushions and optional bolster
Generous padding is Flexform's description of the seat and backrest cushions, with the seat cushions resting on elastic webbing offered in a variety of shades. A bolster behind the backrest cushions is optional.
