Dimensions

Standard, Petite, and Optional Arm Sizes

This chair frame is available in two widths, with an optional arm upgrade that affects overall width. All versions share the same height and depth, offering consistent comfort and silhouette. The key difference lies in the width measured across the front rail (nailhead line) or outside arms when selected.

Standard Side Chair: 21.5"W x 26"D x 48"H — offers a roomier sit
Petite Side Chair: 19.5"W x 26"D x 48"H — allows more chairs around the table
Arm Chair: 25"W x 26"D x 48"H — provides extra width and presence at the table

Petite vs. Standard? It’s all about what works best for your space. Choose petite if you want to maximize seating around the table, or standard for a roomier sit. Add arms for even more comfort and a distinguished look—perfect for head chairs or larger layouts.
