Know before you buy
The regular scoop offers a standard contoured shape for comfort, while the profile seat features a more pronounced, ergonomic curve. The handplaned seat is finished with traditional tools to create a unique, textured surface that highlights the natural character of the solid wood.
These chairs are built using traditional joinery where the back spindles protrude through the seat and are wedged, glued, and screwed for maximum stability. Additionally, all lower stretchers are both glued and screwed to the legs to prevent wobbling over time.
The arm chair has a height of 25 ½ inches from the floor to the top of the arms. You should measure the clearance under your table's apron to ensure the arms can slide underneath comfortably.
The catalyzed resistovar finish is designed for high durability and moisture resistance. Simply wipe the chair down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap as needed, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could dull the finish.
Yes, many customers choose to place arm chairs at the heads of the table and side chairs along the lengths. Since both styles share the same fiddleback design and finish options, they are designed to look cohesive when used together.
Oak is a dense, heavy wood with a prominent grain pattern that is highly resistant to wear and tear. Cherry is slightly softer with a smoother, tighter grain that darkens and develops a rich patina over time as it is exposed to light.
