Oak Veneered Dining Chair

Crafting oak veneer dining chairs involves a multi-step process, starting with the creation of the engineered wood core. We primarily utilise multi-plywood, renowned for its strength and durability, as it excels in creating robust legs and frames. Its multi-layered construction ensures structural integrity.

Precision cutting and shaping techniques are then used to sculpt the desired chair structure, ensuring accurate dimensions and consistent form. Depending on the chair design, we may use various joinery techniques like mortise & tenon joints, dowel joints or dovetail joints to assemble different individual components. 

Subsequently, a carefully crafted oak veneer, a thin layer of authentic oak, is applied to the engineered wood core, imbuing it with the warmth and beauty of natural wood. Thorough sanding follows to create a smooth and refined surface on the chair legs. As a finishing touch, multiple thin coats of high-quality lacquer are applied, each allowed to dry and sanded before the next. This meticulous process ensures a flawless, durable finish.

Key Benefits

• Inherently Durable: The inherent density, a result of its tight wood grain, renders oak chairs resistant to wear and tear. This hardwood's natural robustness ensures enduring strength, making it exceptionally durable against the challenges of daily use.
• Rich Tones & Hues: The oak veneer finish introduces a timeless touch of elegance, highlighting the inherent beauty found in oak wood. Its application beautifully showcases the natural grain patterns and warm, inviting hues, contributing to a refined and visually captivating aesthetic for these dining chairs.
• Resistant to Warping: Kiln drying reduces warping and cracking in engineered wood by carefully controlling the moisture content. The process removes excess moisture, preventing uneven shrinkage and expansion that can lead to warping, ensuring the wood maintains stability and structural integrity over time.
• Wipe-clean Surface: Your oak chairs boast a wipe-clean surface, thanks to the protective finishes. These coatings not only enhance the wood's natural beauty but also provide a barrier against stains, making regular cleaning effortless and ensuring long-lasting, pristine appearance.
• Versatile Style: Oak's adaptable nature shines through its ability to embrace various finishes and styles. Whether showcasing a sleek, modern look or exuding traditional charm, solid oak effortlessly aligns with diverse design preferences and interior aesthetics.

Care guide

• Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to regularly dust the surface of your oak wood chairs, preventing the buildup of dirt and debris.
• Spills and Stains: Address spills and stains promptly. Blot up any liquids with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning Solution: For occasional deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution (like a few drops of dish soap in warm water). Apply the solution to a damp cloth, wring it out well to avoid excess moisture, and wipe down the chair surface. Dry thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
• Drying: Ensure the wood dries completely after cleaning to prevent water stains or warping. Never leave a damp cloth on the chairs.

Sizing Guide

Chair Spacing: Maintain a space of at least 15cm between dining chairs to prevent overcrowding. Adequate spacing allows diners to move in and out of their seats easily, promoting a more enjoyable and functional dining experience. Consider the overall dimensions of the dining area when determining the optimal chair spacing.

Space to Move: Leave around 60cm between the chair back and your wall. This allows you and your guests to sit comfortably and manoeuvre without feeling cramped. Proper proximity ensures a seamless dining experience, allowing people to access their seats with ease.

Number of Chairs: Assess the available space around the dining table to determine the practical number of chairs that can comfortably fit. Consider the table's size, shape, and room dimensions to ensure adequate spacing between chairs for both visual appeal and ease of movement. Below is a general guide, but these are flexible dependent on the chair size and desired level of comfort:
