What You Get With the Simpson Handwoven Seagrass Seat Side Chair Set

1. Solid Oak Construction -- Each chair features a genuine oak frame that provides structural integrity and longevity that particleboard alternatives simply cannot match. Oak's natural density means these chairs maintain their stability even with daily use over years.
2. Handwoven Seagrass Seats -- The individually woven seagrass seats offer natural flexibility and breathability that makes extended dining more comfortable than rigid upholstered seats. This traditional crafting technique also adds authentic texture that machine-made alternatives cannot replicate.
3. Dual Finish Options -- Available in both black and natural oak finishes, allowing you to match existing dining room furniture or create deliberate contrast. The black finish provides modern sophistication while the natural finish showcases oak's inherent grain patterns.
4. Compact 20-Inch Footprint -- The square 20x20 inch base maximizes seating capacity around smaller dining tables without chairs bumping into each other when pulled out. This sizing works particularly well for round tables and breakfast nooks.
5. Ready-to-Use Design -- Ships fully assembled with no additional setup required, meaning you can place these chairs around your table immediately upon delivery. This saves time and eliminates potential assembly errors.
6. Back Support Structure -- The 34-inch overall height provides proper lumbar support for most adults while maintaining a profile that slides completely under standard dining tables. The back design encourages good posture during meals.
7. Two-Chair Set Value -- Sold as a matched pair, ensuring identical grain patterns and finish consistency that buying individual chairs cannot guarantee. This also simplifies ordering for even-numbered seating arrangements.
8. Natural Material Combination -- The oak and seagrass pairing creates visual warmth while remaining easy to coordinate with existing dining room pieces, from traditional to contemporary styles.

What Is a Side Chair?

A side chair is a dining chair without armrests, designed specifically for space-efficient seating around dining tables. Also called dining chairs or kitchen chairs, side chairs maximize the number of seats that fit around a table while allowing easy movement in and out. Their streamlined design makes them ideal for both everyday dining and entertaining.

How to Size Side Chairs for Your Dining Space?

Standard dining tables require 24 inches of space per chair, making the Simpson's 20-inch width ideal for most configurations. For round tables, measure the circumference and divide by 24 to determine maximum seating capacity. The 34-inch height works with tables ranging from 28 to 30 inches high, which covers most standard dining tables. Leave 36 inches between the chair backs and any walls or furniture to allow comfortable movement. Consider browsing our complete dining tables collection to find the perfect match for these chairs.
