The spindles are turned one at a time and glued into the rails, which is the oldest way of making a chair back that there is. It gives a chair that is airy to look at and more upright than the open-frame chair: 42 cm seat, back angled at 105 degrees. It is the better of the two for writing or eating from a tray.

The ash option is paler than the oak at first and stays paler. Both are oiled, neither is lacquered, and both take a mark from a wet glass.

The things about this piece and its materials that people most often wish they had known first.

  • Fourteen spindles mean fourteen places for dust; a soft brush every fortnight
  • Spindles creak slightly as the wood moves with humidity; that is the joints working, not failing
  • The cushions are loose and the back cushion falls forward if the chair is tipped
  • Oiled wood marks from wet glasses; re-oil to blend
  • Ash is paler than oak and stays that way

I measured the door against the number on the page and it went through on its side with four centimetres to spare, exactly as promised. The two delivery men were polite and quick.

The linen creases, as the page said it would. I have stopped noticing. What I notice is that the seat has not sagged at all in fourteen months.

Firmer than it looks and the oak has gone a shade darker already. Both of those were written in the list under Before you buy, which I read after it arrived. Read it before.
