Know before you buy
Steam-bending allows the wood to be shaped into a gentle curve without compromising its structural integrity. This creates a backrest that follows the natural contour of your spine, providing superior ergonomic support compared to flat, straight slats.
Yes, many customers choose to place arm chairs at the heads of the table and side chairs along the lengths. Since both versions share the same height and design language, they create a cohesive, intentional look when paired together.
The concave headrest is designed to cradle the upper back and shoulders, offering a more supportive feel than a standard flat top rail. It provides a subtle, modern aesthetic while ensuring you have a comfortable place to lean back during longer meals.
Consider both the grain pattern and the hardness of the wood. Harder woods like maple or oak offer high durability for daily use, while softer woods or those with more prominent grain patterns can provide a distinct, rustic character depending on the stain finish you select.
Yes, a 17.5-inch seat height is the industry standard for dining chairs. It provides ample legroom for most standard dining tables, which typically sit between 29 and 31 inches high.
Solid wood is durable, but it reacts to changes in humidity. To keep your chairs in top condition, avoid placing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources, and use a soft, damp cloth for regular dusting rather than harsh chemical cleaners.
