Know before you buy
The chair is crafted from a combination of premium Beech, Knotty Oak, and Walnut veneer. These high-quality woods are hand-carved to showcase the intricate traditional detailing.
The arm height is 25 inches, so you should measure the clearance under your table's apron to ensure the chair can slide in easily. The seat height is 19 1/4 inches, which is standard for most dining setups.
The seat is upholstered and designed for dining comfort, providing a stable yet cushioned surface. With a seat depth of 19 1/4 inches and a width of 20 1/2 inches, it offers a generous amount of space for most users.
The Avesta finish is a sophisticated, high-end treatment that should be cared for like any fine wood furniture. We recommend dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the integrity of the hand-carved details.
The chair weighs approximately 44 pounds. Its solid wood construction gives it a substantial, high-quality feel, though it is heavy enough that you may want to consider felt pads on the legs to protect your flooring.
