Know before you buy
The slatted back is engineered to provide ergonomic support while offering a slight degree of flexibility. This design allows the wood to contour subtly to your back, ensuring comfort even during extended periods of sitting.
Yes, Japanese Oak is a dense, durable hardwood known for its exceptional strength. The chair is constructed to withstand the rigors of daily use while maintaining its structural integrity over time.
With an overall height of 32 inches, this chair is designed to tuck neatly under most standard dining tables. However, we recommend measuring the clearance from your table's apron to the floor to ensure a perfect fit.
To preserve the natural beauty of the Japanese Oak, simply wipe the frame with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture, which can damage the wood's finish.
The SLAT Chair features a width of 21.26 inches, which provides a generous seat while maintaining a clean, open silhouette. Its Japandi-inspired aesthetic helps it feel light and airy, making it a great choice for smaller rooms where you want to avoid visual clutter.
