Know before you buy
As a side chair, the Rochester is designed for occasional use or as a secondary seating option in an office. While it offers sturdy support and ergonomic shaping, it lacks the adjustable features found in dedicated task chairs for all-day sitting.
Hardwoods like Hickory and Quartersawn White Oak offer superior hardness and prominent grain patterns, making them highly durable. Softer options like Brown Maple provide a smoother, more uniform finish that takes stains exceptionally well, though they may be more prone to surface dings.
The Rochester chair is handcrafted as a solid, finished piece. It typically arrives fully assembled, ensuring the structural integrity and stability intended by the Amish woodworkers.
To preserve the wood, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. We recommend using a high-quality furniture polish or wax occasionally to nourish the wood and maintain its refined luster.
Yes, but it is recommended to apply felt pads to the bottom of the chair legs. This simple addition prevents the hardwood base from scratching your flooring and helps the chair glide more quietly.
