The chairs have a metal circle base that attaches to a metal pole, from which the metal chairs hang by hook and chain and measure about 4 feet tall by  3 feet wide. The brand Novogratz is printed on the hang tag attached to the product. One of the following style numbers is printed on a separate hang tag attached to the product: AY9162, AY9163, BY9162, BY9163, BY9164, CY9162, CY9163, CY9164, DY9162, DY9164, Y9162, Y9163.
