Know before you buy
The arm chair measures 23 3/4 inches wide, while the side chair is 19 inches wide. Both models share the same depth of 16 3/4 inches and a height of 39 3/4 inches.
The saddle scoop design is contoured to fit the natural shape of the body, providing better weight distribution than a flat seat. This ergonomic shaping makes it comfortable for extended periods of sitting even without additional upholstery.
Hardwoods like Hard Maple, Hickory, and Quarter Sawn White Oak are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents and scratches. If you have a busy household, these species offer the best long-term durability for high-traffic dining areas.
Yes, you can customize the seat with fabric, faux leather, microfiber, or genuine leather. Choosing leather is generally recommended for high-use areas because it is easier to wipe clean and resists staining better than most fabrics.
The Mission edge features a clean, squared-off profile that emphasizes the straight lines and solid construction of the wood. It provides a crisp, traditional look that complements the minimalist aesthetic of the Gatlinburg design.
Because these chairs are handcrafted using traditional joinery, they are typically shipped fully assembled to ensure structural integrity. You can expect a sturdy, ready-to-use piece of furniture right out of the box.
