Know before you buy
The Lancaster chair features a high-quality pneumatic gas lift integrated into the base, allowing you to adjust the seat height smoothly between 16 ½" and 22 ½". This provides the ergonomic flexibility of a modern office chair while maintaining the aesthetic of traditional Amish craftsmanship.
The Regular Wood Scoop offers a standard contoured shape, the Profile Seat provides a more refined, sculpted edge, and the Handplaned Seat features subtle, rustic undulations created by hand for a unique, artisanal texture.
Each chair is finished with a Catalyzed Resistovar finish, which is specifically engineered to resist moisture, heat, and common household chemicals. This provides a protective, long-lasting barrier that keeps the wood looking new while allowing the natural grain to show through.
Armrests are an optional feature for this model. You can choose to include them for added support during long work sessions, or opt for an armless design if you prefer a more compact profile that tucks easily under your desk.
No, the light distressing is a purely aesthetic choice that adds character and a lived-in feel to the wood. It does not compromise the structural integrity or the protective finish of the chair.
Oak is known for its prominent grain and exceptional hardness, Brown Maple offers a smooth, uniform grain that takes stains beautifully, and Cherry is prized for its rich color that deepens and develops a warm patina over time.
