The Runyon's Difference

While standard dining chairs are often churned out with mass-produced composite frames and synthetic upholstery, the Chieftain Southwestern Style Dining Chair is distinguished by its expertly crafted wooden construction and genuine leather seat. This meticulous process yields a bespoke, one-of-a-kind presence that radiates timeless character and bold Southwestern elegance—a level of artistry mass-market options simply cannot rival.

Western Dining Chairs with Rich Colors and Warm Earth Tones

Whether used as dining room furniture or as accent side chairs in western living rooms, office areas, or study rooms, these chairs add rustic luxury to any setting, creating the perfect place to gather and entertain. The rich leather seating, upholstered in Roughrider Rarefield leather, provides a high-end dining chair experience with high-density premium cushioning for maximum comfort. 

Top-Grain Roughrider Rarefield Leather, Harvest Fabric with Dutton Pattern, and Kiln-Dried Hardwood Frame

The inside and outside back are wrapped in Harvest fabric with the Dutton pattern, featuring geometric and modern-inspired patterns in a wonderful array of colors that bring beautiful rich colors and warm earth tones into your space. Made with top-quality materials and attention to detail, each chair is handcrafted by experienced carpenters using a kiln-dried hardwood frame with a distressed chestnut finish to ensure lasting durability for years to come. 

Southwestern Leather Chair with a Striking Design and Lasting Durability

Designed to create a welcoming feel to any western or southwestern style dining area, the Chieftain chair ensures a comfy place for family and friends to gather around the dining table.

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
