Know before you buy
The side chair measures 18 inches wide, while the arm chair is 24 1/2 inches wide to accommodate the armrests. Both versions share the same depth of 17 3/4 inches and a total height of 42 inches.
The wood seat offers a classic, firm feel that is easy to clean, while the leather and fabric options provide added cushioning for longer periods of sitting. Choose genuine leather for long-term durability and patina, or microfiber for a soft, stain-resistant texture.
Hardwoods like Hard Maple, Hickory, and White Oak are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents, making them ideal for high-traffic dining or office spaces. Softer woods like Brown Maple offer a smooth, uniform grain that takes stains beautifully but may show wear more easily over time.
Yes, the chair's ergonomic height and customizable seat options make it a comfortable choice for a desk or home office. If you plan to sit for extended hours, the premium or genuine leather upholstery options provide the most support.
Handcrafted furniture typically utilizes traditional joinery techniques, which are significantly more durable than the mass-produced hardware used in flat-pack furniture. This construction ensures the frame remains stable and wobble-free even after years of daily use.
