Know before you buy
The side chair measures 19 1/2" wide, while the arm chair is 25" wide to accommodate the armrests. Both versions share the same depth of 17 1/2" and height of 38".
Hardwoods like Hard Maple, Hickory, and White Oak are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents and scratches. If you prioritize long-term durability, these species are excellent choices for high-traffic areas.
Yes, faux leather and Ultraleather are excellent choices for easy maintenance as they can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Microfiber is also a durable option that resists stains well compared to standard fabrics.
Species like Red Oak and Quarter Sawn White Oak feature prominent, distinct grain patterns that add texture to the room. In contrast, Brown Maple and Cherry offer a smoother, more uniform grain that takes stain very evenly.
Yes, all wood components are finished with a protective topcoat designed to seal the wood and prevent moisture damage. This finish ensures the chair remains durable while highlighting the natural beauty of the grain.
Because these chairs are handcrafted with traditional construction, the seats are securely attached to the frame. While they are built for longevity, reupholstering or replacing the seat would typically require professional assistance.
