Know before you buy
This product is sold as a set of two side chairs.
Each chair is designed to support up to 250 pounds.
The seats feature plush linen upholstery, which offers a comfortable, soft feel. Because linen is a natural fiber, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild upholstery cleaner to maintain the fabric's appearance.
The chairs are finished in a rustic Pecky Pecan Veneer with a natural wood grain. To preserve the finish, simply dust with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the wood's protective coating.
With an armless design and a width of 26.5 inches, these chairs are well-suited for standard dining tables. Their ladderback silhouette also provides an airy, open look that helps prevent smaller rooms from feeling overcrowded.
