Know before you buy
Yes, the chipped white finish is a deliberate design choice intended to give the chair an authentic, antique farmhouse aesthetic. This distressed look also serves a practical purpose by naturally concealing minor scratches or wear that may occur over time.
With a seat height of 20 inches, this chair is compatible with most standard dining tables. However, we recommend measuring the distance from your floor to the underside of your table apron to ensure you have adequate leg clearance.
The upholstered seat is designed for residential use, but because it is fabric, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild, water-free solvent or upholstery cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the integrity of the fabric.
Not at all. The chair is constructed with sturdy turned legs that provide a stable foundation, and the oval backrest is engineered to offer supportive contouring. The armless profile is primarily intended to save space and allow for easier movement around the table.
The chair measures 20 inches wide and 26.5 inches deep. To ensure a comfortable dining experience, we suggest allowing at least 24 to 30 inches of table edge per person so guests have enough room to move without bumping elbows.
