Know before you buy
The seat and back are upholstered in a blend of 75% linen and 25% cotton, providing a natural, breathable texture.
The chair features a hand-applied vintage oak finish that is intentionally distressed. Because of this process, you may notice slight imperfections in the wood, which are designed to enhance the chair's character rather than act as defects.
The chair measures 20 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 40 inches high. The seat height is 19 inches, which is standard for most dining tables.
The frame is built from a combination of durable ash solids and white oak veneers, ensuring structural stability and long-term use.
The Avondale II is delivered fully assembled, so it is ready to use immediately upon arrival.
Because the fabric is a natural linen and cotton blend, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild, water-free solvent or a professional upholstery cleaner to avoid water rings or fabric shrinkage.
