Know before you buy
The seat height is 15 inches. While this is slightly lower than a standard dining chair, the firm support of the down-filled cushions makes it comfortable and relatively easy to rise from.
The cushions are double-stitched for added durability and structure. To maintain their loft and shape, we recommend occasionally fluffing or rotating the cushions as you would with any high-quality down-filled furniture.
Yes, the tubular base is available in four distinct finishes: polished stainless steel, brushed bronze, powder coat black, and satin brass. You can select the option that best complements your room's aesthetic.
The ottoman is a separate piece that can be ordered to match your chair. Its dimensions are 25 inches wide by 25 inches deep, providing a consistent look and height for leg support.
Every Sling Chair is made to order in High Point, North Carolina. Thayer Coggin utilizes environmentally safe materials and traditional craftsmanship to ensure the piece is built to last for generations.
The chair measures 32 inches wide by 32 inches deep. We recommend accounting for a few extra inches of clearance around the base to fully appreciate the iconic sling arm design.
