Review on 🪑 Stone & Beam Mid-Century Dining Chair with Arms - Beech Wood, Natural Finish by Christine Rogers

Our family never liked to eat, like many families I grew up in, we mostly ate at the kitchen table and eating our meals while watching TV was perfectly acceptable. So there is no dining room in my house, and what we call a dining table is actually more like a desk in the corner by the bay window. The table and chairs are inherited and they're not really old, maybe 30 years old and they sure weren't expensive back then, but what makes them keepers is that they're 100% solid beech, no touch of plastic or MDF imitation or other composite materials. We love the vintage and comfy look. did I say comfortable? Well, maybe to look at, but the captain's chairs have hardwood seats, and even with cushions, you don't want to linger in them for long. This creates a problem because sometimes one of us likes to sit with a laptop or a reader so we can be part of the rest of the group and watch TV. I've always wanted a head chair with armrests and a more comfortable seat, but it's always been impossible to find a solid beech chair to match the rest of the set. get it. Here are some important things to know if you decide to order this chair. However, before I describe them in detail, I should mention that this is one of those sites that lists several related and unrelated products mixed up, with the unfortunate result of messing up all the reviews as well. You have to read very carefully to find out which of the five different items with a list of at least eleven different sizes. To be clear, the item I am reviewing is a natural finish dining chair with a backrest and armrests.1. Unlike most pieces of furniture you order online, this one comes fully assembled and ready to use.2. When fully assembled, expect the driver to bring you a big box. It's important to know if you're away from home, if there's a delivery location, if it won't be left lying on the sidewalk in the rain, if it's size draws unwanted attention, if it's crawling through your door, and more. At 20 pounds most of us won't find it too difficult to lift the bit, the large size is impractical and will most likely require two people. You may worry about the price, yes that's not a mistake, it's over $230 for just one chair. If I had a complete set with the same level of quality at this price, including the base table, I'm sure I couldn't get it for less than $15,005. Unlike almost all furniture, this chair is made from solid beech hardwood rather than a composite material like MFD or reclaimed wood glued together. This explains the premium price and why it comes pre-assembled. This chair is very durable and will last for many, many years. The seat of this chair is made of natural rattan, but unlike outdoor furniture, it is woven in a dense pattern and looks very sophisticated. At first glance, this seems uncomfortable, but it is actually enough to make you feel comfortable even after a few hours. Look closely at my photos and you will see that the backrest of this chair is below average. It's not an illusion, it's real. That's the only downer for people like me who like to sit back: the support I'm expecting isn't enough. I think they wanted a certain style, but unfortunately style triumphed over comfort. I love this chair but I have to admit that the price seems high. Given that solid wood helps, but given that it's made in China and at least some of that cost has to be paid for shipping, the bottom line is that it's marginal at best. . If you like it, do it, but if your budget is limited, you can probably do better.
