Know before you buy
The side chair measures 18 3/4" wide, while the arm chair is wider at 22 1/2" to accommodate the armrests. Both chairs share the same 17" depth, 39 1/2" total height, and 18" seat height, with the armrests sitting at a height of 25 1/4".
Yes, the seat is expertly scooped to provide natural ergonomic support. However, if you prefer extra cushioning, you can opt for a fabric or leather seat upgrade that includes a 2-inch foam cushion.
Mortise and tenon joinery is a traditional woodworking technique that creates a strong, interlocking bond between pieces. This method is significantly more durable than standard glue-and-nail construction, ensuring the chair remains stable and wobble-free for years.
Absolutely. You can select from a wide variety of wood types and finish packages, including stained or painted options. We also offer light or heavy distressing if you are looking to match a specific rustic or antique aesthetic.
The hand-rubbed finish ensures that the stain is applied evenly across the wood grain, preventing streaks or blotches. This process, combined with the chair being hand-sanded twice, results in a consistently smooth, professional-grade surface.
Hardwoods like Oak, Hickory, and Hard Maple are excellent choices for high-traffic areas due to their density and resistance to dents. If you prefer a smoother grain, Cherry or Brown Maple are popular alternatives that take stains very well.
