Know before you buy
Both chairs share the same seat dimensions and back height, but the arm chair includes integrated armrests that bring the total width to 21 inches. The side chair is more compact at 17 inches wide, making it ideal for fitting more seating around a smaller table.
Yes, the Westport is available with a solid wood seat or an upholstered option. You can customize the upholstery with a variety of fabrics, including performance-grade Crypton Home Fabric, or choose genuine leather.
Hardwoods like Hard Maple, White Oak, and Quarter Sawn White Oak are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents, making them excellent choices for busy households. Softer woods like Brown Maple offer a smooth, uniform grain that takes stains beautifully but may show wear more easily over time.
The chairs feature precise angle cuts for stability, but we recommend adding the optional glides to the base of the legs. These glides provide a protective buffer between the wood and your flooring to prevent scratches and wear.
Each chair is built with substantial corner blocks secured by five screws to ensure the frame remains rigid. This, combined with the 100% hardwood construction and hand-sanded finish, creates a durable piece designed to withstand years of daily use.
Crypton Home Fabric is engineered to be moisture-repellent and resistant to stains and odors. It is a practical choice for dining room furniture where spills are common, as it allows for easier cleanup compared to standard upholstery.
