Choosing a Wood Finish
Mixed Wood Chairs
Mixed hardwood is a combination of wood species that create a natural
contrast in the finished piece of furniture. The woods used are
typically cherry/walnut, cherry/maple, or maple/walnut. Other wood
combinations are available, but these are the most popular choices for
our customers.
When ordering a mixed wood chair, we will go over the details with you
over the phone -- discussing every section of the table, top to
bottom. This ensures that we get all of the details right on your new
mixed wood chair. If you have seen a photo on our website or flickr
gallery that you'd like to emulate, please let us know. This makes the
process quite a bit simpler.
Mixed wood options can get very complicated, please call us at
1-888-959-8899 with any questions.
Seat Covering
Our standard chairs are created from solid hardwood, and are contoured for comfort. We also have leather seats available, which replace the standard wooden seat. The standard seat design is square on the corners -- a square and rounded design are both available.
You can see photos of both leather seat designs here.
You can see a swatch of eight available colors here.
Dining Chair Skirt
Our standard chair skirt is solid wood, without ornamentation.
Fluting is a more complicated wood design that adds detail to the chair, the fluting is added to the area just underneath the seat. Please click here for a photo of fluting on a set of walnut chairs.
Custom Lancaster Chairs, Barstools and Benches
We can also create custom sized chairs for your family, common changes include raising or lowering the seat by an inch.
We can create benches, barstools, chairs without arms, and other options that are not on our website currently -- so long as they're in the same style as existing furniture. In other words, we can create items like an eastern style barstool or a zen style bench with leather seat and back. Please contact us for a custom quote.
