Know before you buy
The side chair and arm chair share the same back design and seat depth, but the arm chair is wider at 23 inches to accommodate the integrated armrests. The side chair is more compact at 18.25 inches wide, making it better suited for tighter dining spaces or fitting more chairs around a single table.
The 24-inch stool is designed for standard 36-inch high kitchen counters, while the 30-inch stool is intended for taller 42-inch bar-height tables or counters. Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have enough legroom for a comfortable fit.
Yes, the saddle scoop seat is contoured to distribute weight evenly across the surface, which provides more support than a flat wooden seat. While it lacks upholstery, the ergonomic shaping is designed specifically to reduce pressure points during extended use.
