Solid Oak Seating: Built to Last, Scratches and All
Most modern furniture is rubbish made of cardboard and glue.
These dining chairs solid oak are different. They are heavy, they are solid, and they will probably outlast your house if you do not do anything foolish with them.
They are built for real life, not a showroom.
Wood is a natural material. That means you are going to see knots, dark patches, and grain lines that do not match up. If you want a uniform, sterile look, go buy something plastic. This is real timber.
It scratches.
Your kids will likely ding them with forks, and your guests might spill red wine on them. The beauty of solid wood is that you can sand it down and oil it again. Try doing that with veneer or flatpack stuff.
They arrive fully assembled.
No flatpack nightmares or missing screws here. We build them in the workshop, glue the joints properly, and ship them to you ready to sit on. Just make sure you measure your table height first.
If you need a sturdy table to go with these, check out our kitchen tables. Or, if you just want to browse other seating options, look at our full range of kitchen dining chairs.

Common Questions
How do I clean these chairs?
Wipe them down with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemical sprays or bleach unless you want to ruin the protective lacquer finish.
How long does standard delivery take?
Your chairs will arrive within 5 business days. You will get a tracking number to follow the journey.
Do I need to oil these chairs?
These come with a light lacquer finish. You do not need to oil them immediately, but a light coat of clear wax once a year keeps them hydrated.
Can I put these chairs next to a radiator?
No. Direct heat sources will dry the wood out and cause it to warp or split. Keep them away from radiators and open fires.
What happens if I spill water on them?
Wipe it off immediately. Wood is porous, and leaving puddles on the seat will eventually leave watermarks.
Buying Advice
Are these dining chairs solid oak sturdy enough for heavy daily use?
Yes. We glue and pin the joints in the workshop so they do not wobble like flatpack chairs. They are built for daily family life.
How do I know if these chairs will fit under my table?
The seat height is standard, but the overall back height is 105cm. Measure the clearance under your table apron to ensure they slide in comfortably.
Does the wood grain look exactly like the pictures?
No. Every tree is different. Your chairs will have unique grain patterns, knots, and colour variations that look different from the photos.
Care & Styling
How do I match these chairs with a different wood table?
Do not try to match the colours perfectly because you will fail. Instead, embrace the contrast of different wood tones to make the room look more natural.
How do I fix minor scratches on the seat?
Use a wax repair crayon that matches the colour of the wood. Rub it in, buff it off, and the scratch will fade away.
How can I make these chairs work in a small dining room?
Their high backs draw the eye upwards, which can make a ceiling feel higher. Just ensure you leave enough walk-space behind them.
