What customers say
The Ellington Dining Chair consistently earns praise for its seamless blend of mid century aesthetics and ergonomic support. Owners appreciate the solid wood construction and the refined finish that elevates any dining space. While the silhouette is striking, the padded seat provides lasting comfort for long dinners.

Know before you buy
Mortise and tenon is a traditional woodworking technique where one piece fits snugly into a hole cut in another. It is widely considered the gold standard for furniture strength because it creates a rigid, durable bond that resists wobbling over years of daily use.
Conversion varnish is a high-performance, catalyzed finish that is significantly more durable than standard lacquer. It provides a hard, protective barrier that is resistant to water, heat, and common household chemicals, making it ideal for dining environments.
Yes, many customers choose to place arm chairs at the head and foot of the table while using side chairs along the lengths. Just ensure your table has enough clearance to accommodate the 23 1/2-inch width of the arm chair and verify that the 25 1/4-inch arm height fits comfortably under your table apron.
Care depends on your selection; leather is generally easier to wipe clean, while fabrics should be vacuumed regularly to prevent dust buildup. We recommend checking the specific cleaning codes for your chosen fabric to ensure you use the appropriate solvents or water-based cleaners.
While all wood types offered are solid hardwoods, they vary in density and grain pattern, which can subtly influence the chair's weight and feel. However, the primary comfort factor comes from the seat design and the quality of the upholstery padding rather than the species of wood used for the frame.
