Know before you buy
The seat is ergonomically contoured to distribute weight evenly, making it more comfortable than a flat wooden surface. While it lacks upholstery, the scooped design provides natural support for extended periods of sitting.
The clear lacquer finish is designed for low maintenance. Simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth as needed; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could dull the protective coating.
Natural cherry wood is photosensitive and will darken over time, developing a rich, deep patina as it is exposed to light. This is a characteristic feature of the wood and will result in a warmer, more vibrant color as the chair ages.
Yes, the chair is constructed using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, which is one of the strongest methods for furniture assembly. Combined with solid hardwood, this construction ensures the chair remains stable and durable under regular daily use.
With a seat height of 18.5 inches, this chair is designed to fit perfectly under standard dining tables, which typically have a clearance of 28 to 30 inches from the floor to the underside of the table.
