Know before you buy
The side chair is more compact with a seat width of 17 ½ inches, making it ideal for fitting more people around a table. The arm chair is wider at 21 inches and features armrests that sit 25 ½ inches from the floor, providing extra support and a more formal look.
These chairs are built for longevity using traditional joinery. Every spindle protrudes through the seat and is wedged, glued, and screwed, while all lower stretchers are also glued and screwed to the legs to ensure structural stability.
Yes, you can select from solid Oak, Brown Maple, or Cherry wood. Each wood species offers different grain patterns and hardness levels, allowing you to match the chair to your existing dining room furniture.
The light distressing option adds character to the wood by incorporating subtle, intentional dents and simulated worm holes. This finish gives the chair a more rustic, antique appearance that mimics the look of a well-loved heirloom.
The chair features a scooped wood seat designed to contour to the body. While it is a solid wood seat, the ergonomic shaping provides more comfort than a flat surface, though you may choose to add a seat cushion if you prefer extra padding.
Each chair is finished with a Catalyzed Resistovar finish, which is a durable, protective coating designed to resist moisture and wear. If you prefer to apply your own stain or paint, an unfinished option is also available.
