Know before you buy
The arm chair is slightly wider at 23 inches to accommodate the armrests, while the side chair is more compact at 19 inches. Both models share the same 17-inch seat depth and overall height, making them easy to mix and match around a dining table.
The saddle scoop seat is contoured to follow the natural shape of the body, which helps distribute weight more evenly than a flat wooden seat. This design provides ergonomic support, making it comfortable for longer periods of sitting.
Yes, the Abilene Chair is available in multiple wood species and stain options. We recommend ordering a wood sample or checking your current furniture's wood type to ensure the grain and finish complement your existing pieces.
The mission edge is a clean, squared-off profile that emphasizes the chair's linear, handcrafted aesthetic. It provides a sharp, refined look that contrasts with the softer curves of the saddle scoop seat.
Absolutely. Because these chairs are built using traditional Amish craftsmanship and solid wood, they are designed for long-term durability and frequent daily use. The construction is robust enough to withstand the wear and tear of a busy household.
