Know before you buy

Both chairs share the same footprint, with a width of 24 inches and a depth of 22.5 inches. The arm chair includes additional hardware to accommodate the arms, which sit at a height of 26.5 inches from the floor.
Oak is generally the most durable choice due to its dense grain, making it highly resistant to dents and scratches. Cherry and Brown Maple are also excellent, high-quality hardwoods, though they have slightly different hardness ratings and grain patterns that may show wear differently over time.
