Know before you buy
The side chair is designed for a more compact footprint, measuring 22 ½ inches at its widest point. The arm chair is slightly taller at 39 ½ inches and includes integrated arms, which sit at a height of 28 ½ inches, providing extra support and a more formal look.
No, these chairs arrive fully assembled. They are constructed using traditional mortise and tenon joinery and glued joints, ensuring they are ready for immediate use right out of the box.
The seat is ergonomically carved to follow the natural contours of the body. This shaping helps distribute weight more evenly, making it significantly more comfortable for extended dining sessions than a flat wooden seat.
Oak is known for its prominent grain and high durability, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. Brown Maple offers a smoother, more uniform grain that takes stains exceptionally well, while Cherry is prized for its rich color that deepens and develops a beautiful patina over time.
Yes, the construction utilizes a through-holed and wedged technique for the spindles and legs. This traditional method creates an incredibly tight, permanent bond that prevents wobbling, even with years of regular use.
Yes, you can select from a variety of wood and finish colors to match your existing decor. We recommend opting for the additional varnish to provide a protective layer that guards against spills and daily wear.
