Brookins Brown Side Chair, Set of 2

The bentwood process is a hallmark of premium furniture design, inspired by the Art Deco movement. By molding the wood into curved shapes rather than cutting across the grain, the chair's frame maintains its structural integrity and flexibility. This results in a chair that is lightweight enough for easy movement around the dining room while remaining exceptionally sturdy for long-term use.

This set is an ideal solution for compact urban living or smaller dining areas. The armless, "airy" design of the bentwood and cane prevents the chairs from feeling visually heavy, which helps a small room feel more open. Additionally, the slim footprint allows them to be tucked fully under most tables when not in use, reclaiming valuable floor space.

This side chair features a streamlined profile, measuring 16.5"W x 21"D x 36"H, with a seat height of 18.75". Its narrow 16.5-inch width is specifically designed to maximize seating capacity without overcrowding your table. For the most comfortable experience, we recommend ensuring a 10- to 12-inch gap between the seat and the underside of your tabletop to allow for ample legroom.

To preserve the integrity of the natural cane seating, our care recommendations include occasional dusting with a soft brush or vacuuming with a brush attachment. In particularly dry climates, a very light misting of the cane with water once or twice a year can help the fibers stay supple. For the brown wood finish, simply wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to maintain the luster of the Art Deco-inspired design.

These chairs are designed with straight legs that offer a stable base. To protect hardwood, tile, or laminate flooring from potential scuffs during daily use, we recommend applying high-quality felt pads to the bottom of the legs. This not only protects your home investment but also allows the chairs to glide silently during mealtime.

This set of two chairs is shipped with assembly required. Based on our expertise with this construction style, we recommend a two-step tightening process: initially assemble the pieces loosely, then place the chair on a level surface before fully tightening the hardware. This ensures the legs are perfectly balanced and prevents wobbling on your dining room floor.

Yes, the cane seating is a remarkably resilient material known for its natural "give" and breathability, providing a comfortable seat that conforms slightly to the body. Combined with the high-quality bentwood construction—a technique that involves steaming wood to follow its natural grain—these chairs offer superior strength and are less prone to the cracking or warping often seen in traditional joined wood.
