Know before you buy
The primary difference is the width and the inclusion of armrests. The arm chair measures 24.25 inches wide to accommodate the arms, while the side chair is more compact at 19.25 inches wide, making it better suited for tighter dining table arrangements.
Yes, the seat is ergonomically scooped to contour to the body, which provides better weight distribution than a flat wooden seat. While it is a solid wood chair, the shaping is specifically designed to enhance comfort during extended meals.
All available species are solid American hardwoods, meaning they are all highly durable and suitable for daily use. Harder woods like Hickory and Hard Maple are more resistant to dents and scratches, while woods like Cherry and Walnut are prized for their distinct grain patterns and color-aging properties.
Rustic wood species include natural characteristics like small knots, mineral streaks, and color variations that are typically removed in standard grades. Choosing a rustic option adds a more organic, lived-in aesthetic to the chair while maintaining the same structural integrity as the non-rustic versions.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the chair down with a soft, damp cloth and dry it immediately. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes with silicone, as these can build up over time and dull the hand-sanded finish.
Yes, these chairs are built using traditional Amish techniques, including glued and screwed joinery. This construction method ensures the frame remains rigid and stable even with frequent, heavy use over many years.
