The chairs feature a solid oak seat, which is comfortable to sit on. The chairs stand on turned and block front legs, with sabre legs, terminating on swept feet, to the rear. The legs are connected by double stretchers to the sides, with a single stretcher to the rear and a further turned stretcher to the front – all of which provide additional strength.
