The Amish House Arnica Desk Chair

The Arnica is designed as a side chair, meaning it lacks the ergonomic adjustments—like height control or reclining mechanisms—found in dedicated task chairs. It is best suited for shorter periods of focused work or as a stylish accent piece in a home office.

All available wood options are hardwoods, but they vary in density and grain pattern. For example, Hickory is exceptionally hard and resistant to wear, while Brown Maple offers a smoother, more uniform grain that takes stains very well. Regardless of the species you choose, the Amish joinery ensures a structurally sound build.

Yes, these chairs are handcrafted and shipped fully assembled. You will not need to worry about tightening bolts or aligning joints upon arrival.

To maintain the finish, simply dust the chair regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes with silicone, as these can build up over time and dull the natural luster of the wood.

While the chair feet are finished wood, we recommend applying felt pads to the bottom of the legs. This is a simple, inexpensive step that will protect your flooring from any potential scuffs or scratches.
