Know before you buy
You can choose from a wide range of hardwoods, including Oak, Brown-maple, Cherry, Walnut, and several rustic variations. Each chair is finished with two coats of conversion varnish, which provides a durable, alcohol-resistant surface that protects against spills and daily wear.
Mortise and tenon is a traditional joinery technique where a projecting piece of wood fits securely into a corresponding hole. This method creates a significantly stronger bond than standard screws or glue, ensuring the chair remains stable and wobble-free for generations.
Both versions share a seat height of 18 inches and a total height of 39 inches. The side chair is 18 1/2 inches wide, while the arm chair is 23 inches wide to accommodate the armrests, which sit at a height of 25 1/4 inches.
Each Brunswick Dining Chair is handcrafted by Amish artisans in the United States. Because they are built to order, you have the flexibility to select your preferred wood species and stain to match your existing dining room decor.
The decorative nails are primarily a stylistic feature and do not require special maintenance beyond occasional dusting. They are securely integrated into the design, so they will not snag clothing or loosen with normal use.
