Know before you buy
Each chair is handcrafted from solid natural cherry wood. This hardwood is chosen for its durability and the way its color deepens and matures over time.
The chairs are built using traditional mortise and tenon joinery combined with glued dowels. This method creates a rigid, structural bond that prevents wobbling and ensures the chair remains sturdy through years of daily use.
Yes, the chair is finished with a clear, water-based urethane. This protective coating is low-maintenance and resistant to everyday wear, requiring only a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth.
Both chairs share a 36-inch overall height, but the arm chair features a seat height of 17.5 inches and armrests that sit at 26 inches. The side chair has a slightly higher seat at 18 inches and a narrower profile.
Built to order means your chair is crafted specifically for you after your order is placed, rather than being pulled from a pre-existing inventory. This approach allows for higher quality control and supports sustainable manufacturing practices in Vermont.
Lyndon Furniture provides a 5-year warranty specifically for their chairs. This covers defects in materials and craftsmanship, ensuring your investment is protected.
