Know before you buy
Both chairs share the same seat dimensions and height, but the arm chair is wider at 24.25 inches to accommodate the arms, which sit at a height of 24 inches. The side chair has a narrower profile at 18.75 inches, making it better suited for tighter table arrangements.
Mortise and tenon joinery is a traditional woodworking technique where one piece fits snugly into a hole in another, creating a mechanical bond that is significantly stronger than simple glue or nails. This construction method ensures the chair remains stable and wobble-free even after years of daily use.
Yes, the slats are specifically contoured to follow the natural curve of the human spine. This design provides consistent lumbar support, which helps reduce fatigue during extended periods of sitting.
Yes, you can select a solid wood seat for a classic look or opt for upholstery. We offer a variety of fabric, premium Crypton performance fabrics, and genuine leather options to suit your comfort and maintenance preferences.
While all our hardwoods are durable, Quarter Sawn White Oak is particularly prized for its strength and stability due to the way the grain is cut. If you prefer a smoother, more uniform look, Cherry or Hard Maple are also excellent, high-density choices that hold up well to daily wear.
Yes, you can choose to add either felt or nylon glides to the base of the chair legs. Felt glides are ideal for hardwood floors to prevent scratching, while nylon glides work well on carpet or rugs.
