Know before you buy
The saddle scoop seat is contoured to follow the natural shape of the body, which helps distribute weight more evenly. This design provides better ergonomic support than a flat seat, making it more comfortable for longer meals.
The arm chair measures 22.5 inches wide, while the side chair is 18.75 inches wide. Both models share the same depth of 17 inches and a height of 39.5 inches, ensuring they look cohesive when mixed around the same table.
If you prioritize durability and easy cleaning, the solid wood seat is the most resilient option. For those who prefer extra cushioning, leather is generally more stain-resistant and easier to wipe down than fabric, making it a practical choice for busy households.
Yes, because the Preston Chair is available in multiple wood species like Red Oak, Cherry, and Walnut, you can select a wood type that complements your table. We recommend ordering finish samples to compare the stain colors against your current furniture in your home's lighting.
The Mission edge refers to the specific profile of the seat's perimeter, which features a clean, squared-off look. It provides a subtle, architectural detail that reinforces the chair's handcrafted, traditional aesthetic.
