A wood arm chair is worth buying because the arms are where chairs fail: each time you push up out of the seat, you lever against the arm joints, and chairs built from bolted or stapled parts loosen exactly there. A solid American black walnut armchair joined wood-to-wood keeps those joints tight for decades, and the exposed wood doubles as the design.
Choose by scale — compact frames for corners, wide bolstered designs for the living room — and by honest upholstery: fabric, corduroy, or leather over foam, named on every page. Each armchair is made to order in solid walnut and backed by 90-day returns.
