Know before you buy
Cherry wood is known for its smooth, closed grain and ability to darken over time, offering a rich, formal aesthetic. Brown maple is slightly softer with a more uniform grain, making it an excellent choice for taking on darker stains or paint finishes.
Yes, the Oleta is available as both a side chair and an arm chair. Both versions share the same overall dimensions, but the arm chair includes integrated arms with a height of 25 inches.
With a width of 19.25 inches, these chairs are relatively compact. We recommend measuring your table's perimeter to ensure you have at least 24 to 30 inches of space per person to allow for comfortable seating and movement.
Absolutely. You can choose from a variety of upholstery fabrics or leathers to customize the seat. This allows you to tailor the comfort and visual texture of the chair to suit your specific interior style.
The curved headrest is primarily designed to provide ergonomic support for your upper back and shoulders. While it enhances comfort during longer meals, the back height of 23 inches from the seat is intended to support the mid-to-upper back area.
The seat height is 17.5 inches. This is a standard height that fits comfortably under most dining tables, which typically have a clearance of 28 to 30 inches from the floor.
