example of total yardage for an order
50 run II mesh mid back chairs (model #971) 971 only has a seat COM of 1.0 yd per seat.
STEP 2: COM FOR YOUR MODEL Find the COM yardage requirement for your model . This information is l isted in the BASE MODEL table in each series. Also see COM/COL information by different seat size options, upholstered arms and seat/back multi-use additions on the series’ pric- ing page.
50 chairs x 1.0 yd = 50.0 yd
STEP 3: DETERMINE WIDTH & REPEAT Make adjustments to the yardage based on your texti le’s width & repeat. The width is the distance from one selvage edge to the other. The repeat is the length between the first and additional appearance of the same element within a design. Select your multipl ier based on width and repeat using the “COM WIDTH & REPEAT TABLE”. This amount needs to be added to the total yardage sent.
width is 54” repeat is 15” multiplier is 15%
50 yd + (50 yd x 15%) = 57.5 yd

57.5 yd total will need to be shipped to cover the seats on 50 run II mesh mid back chairs (#971)
STEP 4: ROUND TOTAL YARDAGE Round to the nearest half yard. This is the total amount of COM yardage that needs to be sent to Via Seating.
