Know before you buy
No, these chairs require assembly. All necessary hardware and instructions are included to help you put them together.
While specific weight limits are not provided, these chairs are constructed from sturdy oak and select hardwoods, making them durable enough for standard daily dining use.
The cane is a natural material that should be kept away from direct heat sources to prevent drying. You can gently dust it with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to keep the basket weave pattern looking its best.
The seat is designed for comfort, but because it is upholstered, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild, water-free solvent or upholstery cleaner if a spill occurs.
The sun-washed finish is a light, neutral tone designed to mimic weathered driftwood. Because it features natural oak veneers, it pairs beautifully with other coastal or farmhouse-style pieces, though it may vary slightly from darker wood stains.
The chair measures 19 inches wide and 23 inches deep overall. The seat height is standard for dining tables, providing a comfortable ergonomic fit for most adults.
