Know before you buy
Both chairs share the same height of 41.5 inches and depth of 18.5 inches. The arm chair is wider at 23.25 inches to accommodate the armrests, while the side chair is 18.25 inches wide.
Select the 24-inch seat height for standard 36-inch high kitchen counters or islands. If you have a 42-inch high bar or pub table, the 30-inch seat height is the appropriate choice.
Yes, the scoop seat is ergonomically contoured to distribute weight more evenly than a flat wooden seat. It provides a natural, supportive shape that remains comfortable during extended use.
The swivel bar stools are engineered for stability and include integrated footrests to ensure a secure, balanced seating experience. They are built with the same solid hardwood construction as the stationary versions.
Yes, you can select from a variety of wood species and finishes to coordinate with your home. We recommend reviewing the available options to find a grain and stain that complements your current dining room palette.
No, the Benton Dining Chair is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements, moisture, and direct sunlight can damage the solid hardwood and finish over time.
