What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Laurie Chair for its exceptional craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic. The solid wood construction offers a sense of permanence and durability that mass produced furniture often lacks. Many reviewers highlight the elegant silhouette which blends seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary spaces. While the seat provides firm support, the primary appeal lies in the meticulous attention to detail and the superior materials used. This chair represents a thoughtful investment for those who prioritize long lasting beauty and structural integrity in their home furnishings.
Know before you buy
Mortise and tenon is a traditional joinery technique where one piece of wood is inserted into a hole in another. This creates a significantly stronger, more stable bond than simple glue or nails, ensuring the chair remains sturdy through years of daily use.
The seat is ergonomically scooped to distribute weight evenly and reduce pressure points. While it provides firm support, it is designed to be comfortable for standard dining durations; if you prefer a softer feel, fabric or leather upholstery options are available.
The side chair measures 19 inches wide, while the arm chair is 24.5 inches wide to accommodate the armrests. Both versions share the same 22-inch depth and 40.25-inch total height, making them easy to mix and match around a single table.
The arm height of the Laurie Arm Chair is 26 inches. You should measure the clearance from your floor to the underside of your table's apron to ensure it slides in comfortably.
Steam-bending allows the wood to be shaped into a gentle curve that follows the natural contour of the human back. This provides better lumbar support and a more comfortable lean compared to flat, straight slats.
Yes, the Laurie Chair is available with a solid wood seat or can be customized with fabric or leather upholstery. This allows you to balance the classic Shaker aesthetic with the specific level of cushioning you prefer.
