Know before you buy
The arm chair features an additional 2 inches of height and integrated arms that sit at a height of 28 1/2 inches. Both models share the same seat height of 18 inches and seat depth of 16 inches, ensuring consistent comfort regardless of your choice.
Oak is known for its prominent grain and high durability, while Cherry offers a smoother, tighter grain that darkens beautifully over time. Brown Maple provides a sleek, uniform appearance that takes stains very well, making it an excellent choice for a painted or dark finish.
Distressing adds character by mimicking the look of an antique piece. Light physical distressing includes small, intentional marks on the wood surface, while rubbed distressing focuses on wearing down the finish at the edges to create a lived-in, vintage aesthetic.
For a high-traffic area, the standard varnish provides a reliable, protective layer that balances sheen and durability. If you prefer a more modern, low-profile look, the matte varnish is ideal, while the high-gloss option offers a traditional, reflective shine that is easy to wipe clean.
Yes, both the side and arm chairs are designed with an 18-inch seat height, which is standard for most dining tables. If you opt for the arm chair, ensure your table apron provides at least 28 1/2 inches of clearance to allow the arms to slide underneath.
