Know before you buy
The fancy turned legs feature decorative, contoured detailing that adds a traditional, ornate aesthetic to the chair. The plain legs are smooth and straight, offering a cleaner, more minimalist look that fits well in contemporary or transitional spaces.
The swivel base is engineered to provide smooth 360-degree rotation without compromising the structural integrity of the chair. It is a stable option, though the stationary model will provide a more rigid, fixed feel if you prefer a chair that does not move.
Oak is known for its prominent grain pattern and exceptional hardness, making it highly resistant to dents and daily wear. Cherry wood offers a smoother, tighter grain that darkens and develops a rich patina over time, providing a more refined and elegant appearance.
Yes, the steam-bent process allows the wood to follow the natural curve of the human spine. This ergonomic design provides better lumbar support and comfort compared to flat, straight back slats.
With a seat height of 17.5 inches, this chair is designed to fit comfortably under most standard dining tables, which typically range from 28 to 30 inches in height. We recommend measuring the clearance from your tabletop to the floor to ensure a perfect fit.
