What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Lacombe Chair for its exceptional craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic. The solid wood construction provides a sense of permanence and durability that mass produced furniture often lacks. Owners appreciate the attention to detail in the joinery and the smooth finish of the wood. This chair serves as a functional piece of art that elevates the dining experience through its elegant silhouette and ergonomic support. It represents a significant investment in home decor that balances traditional techniques with modern living requirements.
Know before you buy
The steam-bent process allows the wood to be curved into an ergonomic shape that follows the natural contour of your spine. This provides significantly better lumbar support and comfort than a flat, straight back slat.
The chair is built using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, which is widely considered the gold standard for furniture stability. Combined with reinforced pocket screws, this construction ensures the frame remains sturdy and wobble-free even after years of daily use.
A solid wood seat offers a classic, clean look that is easy to wipe down and maintain. If you prioritize long-term comfort for extended dinners, the upholstered option provides extra cushioning and is available in materials like genuine leather or microfiber to suit your lifestyle.
With a seat height of 18 inches, this chair is designed to fit perfectly under standard dining tables, which typically measure between 28 and 30 inches in height. This leaves ample legroom for most adults.
Because the Lacombe Chair is handcrafted from natural wood, grain patterns and stain absorption can vary. We recommend reviewing the available wood species and finish samples to see how they interact with your current decor, as natural wood will age and develop a unique patina over time.
The side chair has an overall width of 20 inches, while the arm chair is slightly wider to accommodate the armrests. The arm chair also features a specific arm height of 25 inches, so ensure your table apron has enough clearance if you plan to tuck the chairs in completely.
