Know before you buy
Mortise and tenon is a traditional woodworking technique where one piece fits precisely into a hole in another, creating a mechanical lock that is significantly stronger than simple glue or nails. This construction method prevents the chair from wobbling over time, ensuring it remains stable even with daily use.
The conversion varnish is a high-performance, catalyzed finish that creates a hard, protective barrier on the wood surface. It is specifically formulated to be resistant to water, alcohol, and common household spills, making it much more durable than standard lacquer or oil finishes.
Yes, the saddle scoop seat is ergonomically contoured to distribute weight evenly across the seat, which reduces pressure points. While it is a solid wood seat, the shaping provides a more natural and supportive fit than a flat surface.
The arm height of the Christina Arm Chair is 25 1/4 inches. You should measure the distance from your floor to the underside of your dining table apron to ensure there is at least an inch of clearance for the arms to slide in comfortably.
Yes, the Christina Dining Chair is fully customizable. You can select from various solid wood species and choose between different fabric or leather upholstery options to match your existing dining room decor.
