Know before you buy
The side chair measures 18.75" wide, while the arm chair is 24.25" wide to accommodate the armrests. Both chairs share the same depth of 22.75" and a total height of 40".
The rolled seat features a rounded front edge that reduces pressure on the back of your legs. This design is specifically intended to provide better circulation and comfort during extended periods of sitting.
Steam-bending allows the wood to be shaped into a gentle curve without compromising the integrity of the grain. This process creates a backrest that follows the natural contour of your spine for improved ergonomic support.
You can choose between a solid wood seat or upholstered options including faux leather, microfiber, and premium fabric. The wood seat offers a classic, easy-to-clean finish, while the upholstered versions provide extra cushioning.
Each chair is handcrafted using traditional mortise and tenon joinery reinforced with pocket screws. This combination ensures a rigid, stable frame that can withstand daily use for many years.
The arm height is 25.5 inches from the floor. We recommend measuring the clearance under your table's apron to ensure the arms can slide underneath comfortably.
