Know before you buy
Linen is a natural fiber that can be prone to staining. We recommend spot cleaning with a mild, water-free solvent or a professional upholstery cleaner, and keeping the chair out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading.
Yes, acacia is a dense, durable hardwood known for its strength and resistance to wear. Combined with the reinforced wavy 'X' stretcher, this chair is built to withstand regular use in a busy dining room.
With a seat height of 20 1/4 inches, this chair is slightly taller than the standard 18-inch dining chair. It is best paired with dining tables that offer ample leg clearance to ensure a comfortable fit.
The Cultivated Dining Chair is typically delivered fully assembled. You can expect it to be ready for use immediately upon unboxing.
The Parsons-style padded back is designed for comfort, offering a supportive upright posture. It provides a softer feel than a solid wood back, making it well-suited for extended seating during meals.
