Know before you buy
The side chair and arm chair share the same seat depth and height, but the arm chair is 4.5 inches wider to accommodate the integrated armrests. Both styles maintain the same overall height of 40.5 inches for a cohesive look when mixed around a dining table.
The conversion varnish provides a hard, moisture-resistant barrier that protects the wood from spills and daily wear. It is significantly more durable than standard lacquer, allowing you to clean the chair with a damp cloth without worrying about water damage or finish degradation.
The Tifton chair features a contoured wood seat designed to provide ergonomic support during extended use. While it lacks padding, the shape is crafted to distribute weight evenly, making it a comfortable choice for most diners.
All available options—Oak, Cherry, Maple, Hickory, and Walnut—are hardwoods suitable for dining furniture. Hickory is the hardest and most resistant to dents, while Oak offers a prominent grain that hides minor scratches well, making both excellent choices for busy households.
Mortise and tenon is a traditional woodworking technique where one piece of wood is inserted into a hole in another, creating a mechanical lock that is significantly stronger than simple glue or screw joints. This method ensures the chair remains stable and wobble-free even after years of daily use.
