Know before you buy
No, each chair is unique. Because the live edge preserves the natural contour of the tree, the specific shape, grain pattern, and character of the backrest will vary from piece to piece.
Yes, you can customize the chair using one of nine premium wood species, including various types of cherry, maple, and walnut. We recommend ordering wood samples to ensure the finish complements your current furniture.
We offer a variety of upholstery options, including Crypton fabrics, which are specifically engineered to be stain-resistant and easy to clean. For high-traffic households, these performance fabrics are a practical choice over standard textiles or genuine leather.
Yes, you can select between felt or nylon glides. We recommend choosing felt glides if you have hardwood or tile floors, as they provide a soft buffer that prevents scratching.
The seat height is 18.75 inches, which is a standard measurement designed to provide comfortable legroom when paired with most dining tables that sit between 29 and 31 inches high.
Amish artisans use kiln-dried solid hardwood to minimize moisture content and prevent warping. When properly cared for in a climate-controlled environment, this construction is designed to last for generations.
