Know before you buy
The side chair and arm chair share the same seat dimensions and back height, but the arm chair is 4 inches wider to accommodate the integrated armrests. The armrests sit at a height of 25 inches, so ensure they will clear your dining table apron if you plan to tuck them in.
The seat is ergonomically scooped to distribute weight evenly and reduce pressure points, making it more comfortable than a flat wooden surface. However, if you prefer extra cushioning for extended seating, you can opt for fabric, leather, or handwoven fiber upholstery.
Oak is the hardest and most resistant to dents and scratches, making it ideal for busy households. Cherry and Brown Maple are also durable solid hardwoods, though they are slightly softer than Oak and will develop a unique patina over time.
Yes, you can choose from a variety of stains and finishes to coordinate with your current furniture. We recommend ordering wood samples to view the finish in your home's specific lighting before finalizing your order.
The wide rungs are positioned specifically to follow the natural curve of the spine, providing consistent support across the back. The design is intended to be supportive for upright dining posture without the need for additional padding.
A handwoven fiber seat offers a traditional, rustic aesthetic and provides a slight, natural 'give' that some find more comfortable than a rigid wood seat. It is a durable, classic choice that adds texture and warmth to the Shaker design.
