Know before you buy
Mortise and tenon is a traditional joinery technique where a projecting piece of wood fits into a corresponding hole. This method creates a mechanical lock that is significantly stronger and more durable than standard glued or nailed joints, ensuring the chair remains stable for decades.
Conversion varnish is a high-performance finish that is significantly more durable than standard lacquer. It provides a hard, moisture-resistant barrier that protects the wood from scratches, heat, and spills, including alcohol, making it ideal for high-traffic dining areas.
Yes, the Colebrook chairs are designed to be cohesive. Many homeowners choose to place arm chairs at the head and foot of the table for a formal look, while using side chairs along the lengths to maximize seating capacity.
Wood seats offer the easiest maintenance and are virtually indestructible, while leather is highly durable and wipes clean easily. Fabric seats provide the most comfort but require more attention if you have young children or frequently host messy meals.
The Colebrook chairs have a standard seat height, but you should measure the distance from your floor to the underside of your table's apron. Ensure you have at least 8 to 10 inches of clearance between the seat and the table to allow for comfortable leg movement.
