Know before you buy
Both chairs share the same seat dimensions and height, but the arm chair is wider at 25 1/2 inches to accommodate the arms. The arm chair also features a specific arm height of 7 3/4 inches from the seat, sitting at 25 1/2 inches from the floor.
Yes, the seat is scooped and shaped to provide ergonomic support that contours to the body. While it is firm, the shaping helps distribute weight more evenly than a flat wooden surface.
Hardwoods like Hard Maple, Hickory, and White Oak are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents and scratches. If you prefer a softer look, Brown Maple is a popular choice, though it is slightly more susceptible to wear than the denser species.
Yes, the chair is highly customizable. You can opt for a standard solid wood seat, or choose from a variety of fabric and leather upholstery options, including premium and Crypton performance fabrics for added durability.
The slats are gently curved to follow the natural contour of your spine. This design provides structured support while maintaining the clean, linear aesthetic characteristic of Mission-style furniture.
Yes, you can select optional glides for the chair legs. These are recommended to prevent scratching on hardwood or tile floors and to make moving the chairs easier.
