Know before you buy
This product is sold as a set of two side dining chairs.
The seat height is 18.75 inches. This is a standard height that pairs comfortably with most dining tables, which typically measure between 28 and 30 inches from the floor to the tabletop.
The chairs feature Lexi fabric, which is durable for everyday dining. To keep it looking its best, we recommend regular light vacuuming and spot cleaning any spills immediately with a mild, water-free upholstery cleaner.
The finish is a parchment color layered with a warm fossil wood tone and a glaze. This technique is designed to mimic the look of an antique, resulting in a soft, matte aesthetic rather than a high-gloss or perfectly uniform appearance.
The chairs arrive partially assembled and require some final assembly steps. All necessary hardware and instructions are included to attach the legs and seat frame.
Yes, they are constructed from solid Oak and Select Hardwoods, making them sturdy and durable for regular dining room use. Each chair weighs 27 pounds, reflecting the solid wood construction.
