Know before you buy
The side chair measures 18½” wide, while the arm chair is slightly wider at 23¼” to accommodate the armrests. Both versions share the same depth of 17¼” and a total height of 42”.
Yes, the saddle scoop seat is ergonomically contoured to distribute weight evenly, making it more comfortable for extended seating than a flat wooden surface.
Select the 24-inch seat height for standard 36-inch high counters or tables. If you have a taller 42-inch dining surface, the 30-inch seat height is the appropriate choice.
Solid hardwood is durable, but it should be kept away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity changes to prevent warping. Simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to maintain the finish.
Yes, the Canterbury chair is highly customizable. You can select from various wood species and finish options to ensure the chairs coordinate with your existing dining table or interior color palette.
