Know before you buy
The chairs are crafted from solid oak and remain sturdy and durable. While the set is in excellent vintage condition overall, please note that one chair features minor surface marks, which are documented in the provided photos.
With a seat height of 17.5 inches and an overall height of 30.5 inches, these chairs are designed to fit standard dining tables comfortably. We recommend measuring the clearance of your specific table apron to ensure a perfect fit.
Each chair measures 23 inches in width. Because of their classic captain's chair design, you should account for the width of the arms when calculating how many chairs will fit comfortably along the sides of your table.
The brass braces serve as both a stylistic accent and a functional reinforcement. They provide additional stability to the solid oak frame, contributing to the chairs' long-term durability.
To preserve the wood, we recommend dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners. If the wood appears dry over time, a high-quality furniture wax or oil can help nourish the oak and maintain its luster.
