Know before you buy
The conversion varnish is a high-performance, alcohol-resistant finish that provides a durable barrier against spills and everyday wear. It is significantly more resilient than standard lacquers, making it ideal for high-traffic dining areas.
Mortise and tenon is a traditional joinery technique where one piece of wood is inserted into a hole in another, creating a mechanical lock that is much stronger than simple glue or nails. This method ensures the chair remains stable and wobble-free even after years of daily use.
Yes, the Alexander Dining Chair is available in a wide range of hardwoods, including Oak, Brown Maple, Cherry, Walnut, and various rustic options. Each wood species offers unique grain patterns and hardness levels, allowing you to tailor the chair to your home's aesthetic and durability needs.
The side chair measures 18 1/2 inches wide, while the arm chair is 23 inches wide to accommodate the armrests. Both versions share the same 17-inch depth and 40-inch height, ensuring they look cohesive when mixed around the same dining table.
The chair comes standard with a saddle scoop seat, which is ergonomically contoured to provide natural support. For added comfort, you can also opt for fabric or leather upholstery to provide a cushioned seating experience.
Every Alexander Dining Chair is handcrafted by Amish artisans in the United States. This production process emphasizes traditional woodworking techniques and heirloom-quality construction standards.
