Know before you buy
Mortise and tenon is a traditional woodworking technique that creates an incredibly strong, interlocking joint. Because it relies on mechanical fit rather than just glue, it prevents the chair from wobbling or loosening over years of daily use.
Conversion varnish is a high-performance, catalyzed finish that is significantly more durable than standard lacquer. It creates a hard, moisture-resistant barrier that protects the wood from water rings, food spills, and general wear.
Yes, the saddle scoop seat is ergonomically contoured to distribute weight evenly across the seat. While it is made of solid wood, the shape provides more support and comfort than a flat seat, making it well-suited for extended seating.
Yes, the Houston chair offers both leather and fabric options to suit your aesthetic and lifestyle needs. Leather is generally easier to wipe clean, while fabric provides a softer texture and a wider variety of color and pattern choices.
With a seat height of 18 inches, this chair is designed to fit comfortably under most standard dining tables, which typically have a clearance of 28 to 30 inches. We recommend measuring the distance from your floor to the underside of your table's apron to ensure you have at least 8 to 10 inches of legroom.
The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal residential use. It ensures that the structural integrity of the solid wood construction and the joinery is guaranteed for the life of the product.
