Each day holds a certain amount of responsibility for everyone. Whether you go to school or work, stay at home with the kids or run your own business, there’s something — some chore, activity, task — to be done.
But then comes along dinnertime, ahh, sweet dinnertime — the start of the evening, the savory scent of scrumptious food. The family gathers around the table as children’s laughter rings through the air. Even if these family dinners are only a memory — a treasure of the past — they are still precious recollections of the good, old days.
Amid the changes of life, one of the few consistencies is the table at dinner time along with the beautiful memories it creates…and you can’t exactly have a perfect dinnertime without some chairs to relax on!
|| All About Our Chair Styles ||
Whether you want a classy, formal dining room or a casual kitchen atmosphere, our handcrafted solid wood chairs promise to complement your home perfectly. Every piece of the chairs — from their backs to the seats and legs — are meticulously designed and created for functional beauty.
Tip: Keep in mind that our different shops each have their own unique collection of furniture. A certain style of chair may limit your table choices (if you want the dining room set to stay similar in style), or vice versa.
If you’re interested in a modern-style chair, we recommend our Venice Side Chair, a handcrafted delight. The straight, flat spindles create a unique statement of design you just can’t ignore. The best part? Our Amish craftsmen designed these chairs to last for years, which means your kid’s kids may very well create their cozy home with these masterpieces.
Perhaps your dining room is a little more reminiscent of sweet country life amid the flourishing fields. Our Country Ladder Back Side Chair delivers a timeless style that looks and feels comfortable — ideal for chatting around the dinner table!
The Various Styles of Chair Backs:
Each chair has the option of different backs to complete your dining room style. These matchless styles will not only perfect your dining room set but it will also dazzle with its intricate detail and handcrafted beauty.
The Wheatland Side Chair boasts an unique back designed to look like a bundle of freshly harvested hay — a little reminder of the Lancaster farmland.
Or you can welcome your guests into your home with our handcrafted Manhattan Arm Chair. Handcrafted by local Amish, this stunning masterpiece features an spindled back with elegant, slightly bent legs.
For a beautiful twist to the vertical spindle-back chairs, we recommend our Plymouth Side Chair. The clean shaker style of this chair creates a comfortable haven to dine within…you truly can’t go wrong with this design!
As you can see, from pursuing our website or visiting our stores, we are happy to offer a wide variety of chair backs — ones to match your style, seamlessly, and ones to make a statement, easily.
The Classic Types of Chair Legs:
Just like we have a variety of chair backs to chose from, we also offer different leg styles for your new, handcrafted chair. This option lets you tailor your chair to fit your table, or homes design.
One of the most popular chair leg styles is what we call straight legs, a design with smooth edges — a sleek, modern look. This classic style looks great with any chair back, paint or stain! A perfect example of this type of leg is our popular Madison Side Chair; its smooth lines offer a classic silhouette for any home.
Like our straight legs, the round leg option offers an unassuming look which complements any chair back’s design, the round legs smooth and classic. Check out our Six Spindle Side Chair for a good idea of what these round legs look like.
The “turned” chair leg is another timeless option for your chair. The dips and curves of this leg makes it unique and completely unforgettable. Our Windsor Side Chair is the perfect example of this beautiful “turned” chair leg style; the unique legs enhance its simple beauty.
Tip: We recommend investing in the same collection of table and chairs, made by the same Amish shop, to ensure the same design and style. When browsing for similar tables and chairs, look at the first few letters in the product id to confirm they’re from the same collection.
Side Chairs or Arm Chairs?
Not all chairs are created equal, but each is beautiful and functional in their own way. Depending on your preference, you may find you enjoy side chairs or arm chairs more than the other.
Chairs with arms give support to relax and rest on. They tend to look best in a more formal setting, ideally placed at the head of the table. The Traditional Manhattan Arm Chair perfectly captures the elegance desired in most formal dining rooms. The beautiful refinery of this chair is made complete by its regal arms, perfect for resting and chatting around dinner.
On the other hand, side chairs provide diners with easy, convenient mobility to get in and out of their chairs. These chairs usually present an informal atmosphere for dining. If you’re looking for an easy chair to slip in and out of, we recommend our Farmer’s Side Chair. This chair, along with our other side chairs, promises a stunning, functional design.
Don’t wait to make your dinning room a sanctuary of food, happiness, and love.
With your choice of table and chairs, your dining room will become the popular place for everything good: family, friends, refreshment, and more!
I absolutely love the look and feel of the furniture. I’ve visited the store purchases two pieces and will be buying a dinning room set in the near future.
