The Wood Reserve Gurnee Dining Chair

Yes, the Gurnee Dining Chair arrives fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box. Because it is handcrafted with solid joinery, it does not require any setup or tightening of hardware.

Each wood species offers a unique grain pattern and natural color profile. For example, Cherry tends to darken and redden over time, while Maple provides a smoother, more uniform grain. Choosing the right species depends on whether you prefer a prominent, rustic texture or a subtle, refined finish.

With a seat height of 18 inches, this chair is designed to fit perfectly under standard dining tables, which typically measure between 28 and 30 inches in height. This leaves ample room for leg movement while maintaining a comfortable dining posture.

Solid wood is durable but sensitive to extreme humidity changes. To maintain the finish, simply dust with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. We recommend using coasters or placemats to protect the surface from moisture and heat.

Absolutely. Many designers pair arm chairs at the heads of the table for a more formal, anchored look, while using side chairs along the lengths to maximize seating capacity. Since both configurations share the same design language, they will look cohesive when used together.
