Know before you buy
The saddle scoop seat is contoured to follow the natural shape of the body, which helps distribute weight more evenly than a flat wooden seat. While it remains a firm, solid wood surface, the ergonomic shaping provides significantly more support for extended sitting.
All available wood types are high-quality hardwoods, but Quarter Sawn White Oak is particularly prized for its superior strength and resistance to warping. If you prioritize a smooth, uniform grain, Brown Maple is an excellent choice, while Rustic Cherry or Hickory offers a more distinct, natural character.
Yes, it is common practice to place arm chairs at the heads of the table and side chairs along the lengths. Just ensure your table has enough clearance to accommodate the 24-inch width of the arm chair, as it is five inches wider than the side chair version.
Yes, the bar stool versions can be ordered as either stationary or with a swivel mechanism. You can also choose between 24-inch and 30-inch heights to suit your specific counter or bar setup.
The chairs are finished with a durable, protective topcoat designed to withstand the rigors of daily dining. While the finish is moisture-resistant, we recommend wiping up spills promptly to maintain the integrity of the wood and the longevity of the protective layer.
