Walnut - A deeper, richer tone suited to darker woods and more luxury interiors.
Ash - A light, understated tone that works well in Scandinavian and contemporary dining spaces.
Oak - A balanced mid-tone finish designed to complement traditional and modern dining furniture.
You can you either have a seat to match the frame or have it contrasting.
We make each chair to order. We hand pick the woods and start making. This usually takes no more than two weeks and we'll be in touch to arrange delivery.
Years of use, not months
No. The chair is built from solid hardwood using traditional mortice and tenon joints — the same joinery used in full-size adult furniture. It’s strong enough for an adult to sit on, so there’s no practical limit for any child.
Roughly ages 3 to 8, though that’s a guide rather than a hard rule. The right fit depends on your child’s height — the chair is sized to give children proper table height and foot support during the post-high-chair years. Our founder’s daughter is nearly nine and still uses hers.
Yes we think so. It actually has a a slender footprint compared to a standard dining chair due to the narrower seat. It is very unlikely to be bigger than any of your current chairs. In fact, you might find you can add it to the dining table without needing to remove any existing chairs, very useful if you need an extra seat.
All chairs requires some degree of sensible behaviour. But its worth also noting that the rear legs slope backwards and flare outward — this is a stability feature, not just a style choice. A higher chair with straight vertical legs (like a bar stool) risks tipping backwards when a child pushes against the table. The outward flare dramatically widens the base, keeping the chair planted even with an active, fidgety child. It's similar to a highchair in that design, just not such a dramatic rear sweep.
Each chair is made to order in our Surrey workshop, and the current lead time is two weeks from order. We’re not a warehouse operation — your chair is cut, jointed, and finished specifically for you. It’s worth the short wait.

The Junior Chair is made from our workshop in Surrey.
Each one is made from solid hardwood, selected for strength, longevity, and character.
This is not pine, veneered board or composite material.
Solid wood allows the chair to withstand daily use, age gracefully over time and passed on to the next child.
Each chair is built with the expectation that it will be used for years.
