Know before you buy
Both chairs share the same depth, height, and seat dimensions. The primary difference is the overall width: the side chair is 18.5 inches wide, while the arm chair is 25.75 inches wide to accommodate the armrests.
Mortise and tenon joinery is a traditional woodworking technique that creates a strong, interlocking connection between pieces of wood. This method provides superior structural integrity compared to simple glue or screw joints, ensuring the chair remains stable and wobble-free for generations.
Yes, you can customize the seat with various upholstery options, including premium fabrics, Crypton performance fabrics, genuine leather, or Ultra leather. These options provide added cushioning and comfort for longer dining sessions.
Hardwoods like Hickory, Hard Maple, and Quarter Sawn White Oak are excellent choices for high-traffic areas due to their exceptional density and resistance to dents and scratches. If you prefer a specific aesthetic, our team can help you select a wood that balances your desired grain pattern with the durability you need.
Felt glides are best for hardwood or tile floors to prevent scratching, while nylon glides are better suited for carpeted surfaces to allow the chair to slide easily without snagging.
Yes, the vertical slats are ergonomically positioned to follow the natural curve of the spine. This design provides firm, consistent lumbar support, making it comfortable for both formal dinners and daily use.
