The Cornwall brown ladder-back side dining chair draws its design from traditional English country furniture. Five horizontal slats arch across the back, each one slightly curved to follow the natural shape of your spine. The mahogany frame shows the woods grain through a dark brown finish that picks up different tones depending on the light. The rush seat is woven directly onto the frame, not a removable cushion, but strands of natural fiber wrapped around the rails in a traditional basket-weave pattern. At 42 inches tall with an 18-inch seat height, this dining side chair sits at standard table height, but the tall back gives it more presence than typical dining chairs.
