Eleanor Side Dining Chair
Eleanor Side Dining Chair
Custom, American Hardwood Furniture
The dining table is the heart of the home, but it is the seating that invites us to linger a little longer. The Eleanor Side Dining Chair is designed to do just that, bringing a sense of warmth and welcoming comfort to your daily routines and special gatherings alike. Whether you are gathering the family for a weekday supper or hosting friends for a long, slow weekend dinner, these chairs provide a warm invitation to sit back and stay awhile.
A Classic Silhouette Redefined
With its classic spindle back, gently splayed legs, and thoughtfully sculpted seat, this chair honors time-tested design. It offers a balanced, comfortable sit that supports long conversations around the dinner table. Handcrafted from solid wood, the Eleanor chair brings a grounded, natural presence to your dining room, blending seamlessly with both traditional and modern spaces. The spindle back design keeps the visual profile light and airy, while the solid wood construction ensures a sturdy, reliable feel.
The Richness of Espresso
This Eleanor chair is finished in a deep, rich Espresso tone. This finish highlights the natural character and grain of the solid wood, offering a refined look that anchors your dining space. The dark, warm tones of the Espresso finish provide a beautiful contrast to lighter tables or a harmonious match to darker wood tones, making it a thoughtful choice for any home aesthetic. It is a finish that feels both historic and contemporary, designed to age gracefully alongside your home.

Solid American Hardwoods
Every piece begins with premium American hardwoods — knotty alder, white oak, and black walnut — hand-selected, dried, and processed in our Arkansas facility before a single cut is made.
Precision-Shaped Components
Legs and pedestal bases are shaped to exacting specifications in our Arkansas woodshop, then hand-inspected and refined by our craftsmen before they ever reach the assembly floor.
Built by Hand & Made to Order
Each piece is built one at a time by our artisans to your specifications, using solid hardwood construction and time-tested joinery designed to hold up for generations of real family life.
Hand-Finished for Life
Our in-house finishers apply your chosen stain and protective topcoat by hand, ensuring even color, rich depth, and a durable finish that ages beautifully with use.
