Alyssum Black Side Chair

Yes, the frame of this chair is crafted from solid beech wood, a material highly regarded in furniture making for its exceptional density and shock resistance. Unlike engineered woods, solid beech is a heavy, hard-wearing timber that provides superior structural stability, ensuring these chairs remain sturdy even in busy households with frequent use.

To protect your home investment, this chair comes equipped with smooth plastic glides on each leg. These glides are specifically designed to allow the chair to slide easily across hard surfaces like wood, tile, or laminate while minimizing the risk of scuffs and scratches. For homes with particularly delicate hardwood, these glides also provide a stable base for the addition of adhesive felt pads if desired.

This chair features a 19-inch seat height, which is the industry standard for most dining tables. For optimal comfort and ergonomics, we recommend allowing 10 to 12 inches of clearance between the chair seat and the underside of your tabletop. With its 19-inch height, this chair is designed to provide comfortable legroom for tables ranging from 28 to 30 inches high.

Natural cane is a breathable and resilient material, but it does require specific care to maintain its longevity. To prevent the cane from becoming brittle, we recommend a light dusting with a soft cloth and occasional wiping with a damp (not soaked) cloth to maintain moisture balance. Because cane is a natural fiber, it is best kept in temperature-controlled environments away from direct heat sources to prevent premature drying or sagging.

This chair is an excellent choice for space-conscious living, such as urban apartments or breakfast nooks. Its armless design and compact 18-inch width allow it to be tucked fully under the table when not in use, maximizing floor space. Furthermore, the "visual lightness" of the natural cane back allows light to pass through, preventing a small room from feeling crowded or heavy.

This item requires customer assembly, and all necessary hardware is included. Based on the solid beech wood construction and straight-leg design, assembly typically involves securing the legs and back to the seat frame. We recommend following the included instructions closely and ensuring all bolts are tightened firmly to maintain the chair’s structural integrity and prevent wobbling over time.
