What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Bow River Chair for its exceptional craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic. The solid wood construction provides a sense of lasting durability that mass produced furniture often lacks. Owners appreciate the ergonomic support and the smooth finish of the wood which highlights the natural grain. This chair serves as a functional piece of art in many homes.

Know before you buy
The 24-inch chair is designed for standard counter-height surfaces, typically around 36 inches tall. The 30-inch chair is intended for bar-height surfaces, which are usually 42 inches tall. Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have at least 10 to 12 inches of legroom.
Red Oak and Brown Maple are both excellent choices for high-traffic furniture. Red Oak is known for its prominent grain and high hardness, while Brown Maple offers a smoother, more uniform grain that takes stains exceptionally well.
Faux leather and microfiber are generally the easiest to clean and are highly resistant to spills, making them ideal for households with children or pets. Genuine leather offers a more luxurious feel and develops a unique patina over time, but it requires occasional conditioning to maintain its suppleness.
The decorative tacks are primarily aesthetic, adding a tailored, traditional look to the upholstery. The optional stretcher covers, however, serve a functional purpose by protecting the wood footrest from scuffs and wear caused by shoes.
As a handcrafted piece of Amish furniture, the chair is built with traditional joinery for maximum stability. Depending on the shipping method, some minor assembly may be required, but the construction is designed to be straightforward and secure.
