Know before you buy
The side chair measures 20 inches wide, while the arm chair is 24 inches wide to accommodate the integrated armrests. Both chairs share the same height and depth dimensions, ensuring they look cohesive when mixed around a single dining table.
Yes, the Saddle Scoop Seat is contoured to fit the body's natural shape, providing better support and pressure distribution than a flat wooden seat. It is designed for extended comfort during meals or gatherings.
Choose the 24-inch seat height for standard 36-inch kitchen counters or islands. If you have a taller 42-inch bar-height table or counter, the 30-inch seat height is the appropriate choice.
Solid hardwood is durable and long-lasting, but it should be kept away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity to prevent warping. Regular dusting and occasional polishing with a high-quality wood cleaner will help maintain the finish for years.
The wood slats are engineered to mirror the curve of the back frame, providing ergonomic lumbar support. Because they are crafted from solid hardwood, they offer a firm, stable feel that won't sag over time.
