Legs & Stretchers Reinforced with Screws
In addition to precision fitted parts, our extra step of inserting a screw through the legs and stretchers assures you a life-time of trouble-free, wobble-free chairs.
Finished Underside
Another one of our trademarks. In addition to eye appeal, finishing the underside helps protect your chair from seasonal changes, cracking and warping.
Martin Lock
Our exclusive, innovative construction detail on the wedged tenons help the joints to remain tight. Another reason we can give a lifetime guarantee on all our chairs.
Solid Hardwood Bent Parts
Our bent chair parts use an intensive method of bending that combines steam to make the wood fibers pliable, and extreme pressure to form the correct shape. These solid hardwood bent parts produce a chair that has a definite strength advantage over their plywood counterparts.
Leveled Chair Legs
We know our chair legs are on the level, because after assembly, we square them using an amazing precision machine our father made! This extra step provides seating comfort you can relax on.
Mortise & Tenon Construction
Many of our chairs make use of super-strong mortise and tenon joinery, an age-old woodworking technique that has never been improved upon.
Keystone Finish
Our hand applied, custom formulated, multi-layered colors and varnishes produce a depth of clarity, beauty, and silky smoothness seldom experienced with today’s furniture. Using up to 20 intensive finishing processes, our finish is tough and durable. With this protection, it’s no surprise that many spills can be wiped up with no permanent stain or damage, and no water-ring stains will form. With proper care, your furniture will continue to look as rich as the day it was made.
Craftsman Date & Signature
It shows we care! The personal connection with commitment. When your furniture is completed and inspected, each piece receives our Keystone CollectionTM insignia, and the craftsman who built it signs and dates it—the beginning of an heirloom, and to us, a mark of integrity and excellence!
Personalization
Our optional personalization seals your chosen wording beneath our premier finishes, to permanently identify it as the prized family heirloom your furniture will become. It is also a great way to personalize a gift!
Saddle Scoop
Scooped shaped seats provide optimal seating comfort.
Corner Braces
Rugged, triple grooved corner braces combined with specially formulated glue and industrial strength lags give you more than a life-time of durability, service, and functionality.
Specially Formulated Glue
If early furniture craftsmen had our glue, there would be a lot more antiques! Our special formulation goes beyond strength and longevity — we build in a little elasticity that allows joints an imperceptible bit of elasticity, keeping the joinery in your chairs tight, wobble-free and functional for years to come.
More screws, more glue, more strength!
Today’s modern adhesives make chairs stronger than ever. “Finger Jointing,” the process of cutting grooves in our chair skirts and corner braces, enables us to apply more adhesive and achieve tighter joinery, and we back that up with industrial strength screws and lag anchors.
Chair Dimension
Chair measurements are listed with each chair in this format:
W = overall chair width
D = overall chair depth
H = overall chair height
SD = sitting depth
SH = chair seat height
AW = width between arms
AH = chair arm height
