Know before you buy
Mortise and tenon joinery is a traditional woodworking technique that creates an exceptionally strong, interlocking connection. By fitting the pieces together tightly, it ensures the chair remains stable and wobble-free even after years of daily use.
Yes, the seat is specifically shaped to follow the natural contours of the body, which helps distribute weight more evenly. While it lacks upholstery, the ergonomic design provides significantly more support than a flat wooden seat.
The protective lacquer finish seals the wood, making it resistant to moisture, spills, and daily wear. You can clean it easily with a soft, damp cloth, and it does not require the regular oiling or waxing that raw wood finishes demand.
With an arm height of 27 inches, this chair is designed to slide under most standard dining tables. However, we recommend measuring the clearance from your floor to the underside of your table apron to ensure a perfect fit.
The guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. It ensures that the chair is built to structural standards that prevent failure under normal residential use.
