Know before you buy
The side chair measures 20 inches wide, while the arm chair is 25.5 inches wide to accommodate the armrests. Both versions share the same 18-inch depth and 34-inch height, ensuring a consistent profile if you choose to mix and match them around your table.
All available options—Oak, Brown Maple, Cherry, Hickory, and Walnut—are hardwoods suitable for dining furniture. Oak and Hickory are particularly known for their hardness and prominent grain patterns, while Brown Maple offers a smoother, more uniform finish that takes stain very well.
Handcrafted furniture typically utilizes traditional joinery techniques, such as mortise-and-tenon construction, which are significantly stronger than the staples or glue used in mass-produced chairs. This method ensures the frame remains stable and wobble-free even after years of daily use.
Leather is generally easier to wipe clean and more resistant to spills, making it a practical choice for households with children or frequent entertainers. Fabric offers a softer, more textured aesthetic and a wider range of color options, though it may require more attention to maintenance.
Yes, because each chair is custom-made, you can select from a variety of stain colors to coordinate with your current furniture. We recommend ordering wood samples if you are trying to achieve a precise match with an existing piece.
