Know before you buy
The side chair has a width of 18 1/2 inches, while the arm chair is wider at 23 inches to accommodate the armrests. The arm chair also features an arm height of 25 1/4 inches, which is important to check if you plan to tuck the chairs under your dining table.
The seat is richly scooped and shaped to provide ergonomic support, which is generally more comfortable than a flat wooden surface. If you prefer extra cushioning, you can opt for a fabric or leather seat with a 2-inch foam pad.
These chairs are built using mortise and tenon joinery, a traditional woodworking technique that creates a strong, interlocking connection between parts. This method is highly durable and designed to withstand years of daily use.
Yes, you can select from a variety of hardwoods including Oak, Cherry, Walnut, and Quarter Sawn White Oak. We recommend ordering wood samples if you are trying to color-match the chairs to an existing table or room decor.
Mission style is characterized by clean, straight lines and a focus on the natural beauty of the wood. This chair specifically features the iconic vertical slats on the backrest, offering a timeless, minimalist aesthetic that fits well in both traditional and modern homes.
