Collins Dining Chair

Mortise and tenon is a traditional joinery technique where one piece of wood is inserted into a corresponding hole in another. This creates a mechanical lock that is significantly stronger and more stable than simple glue or screw joints, ensuring the chair remains sturdy for decades.

Conversion varnish is a high-performance, catalyzed finish that is much harder and more resistant to moisture, heat, and household chemicals than standard lacquers. It provides a durable, protective barrier that keeps the wood looking new even with daily dining room use.

Yes, because each chair is handcrafted to order, you can customize the seat material for each individual chair. This allows you to choose between wood, leather, or fabric to suit your specific comfort preferences or design aesthetic.

For leather seats, wipe them down periodically with a soft, dry cloth and use a leather conditioner as needed. For fabric seats, we recommend regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment and spot-cleaning spills immediately with a mild, water-based cleaner.

Yes, both the side and arm versions of the Collins Dining Chair share the same seat height and overall profile. This ensures a uniform look and consistent comfort level when they are placed around the same dining table.
