The Wilson Chair

"We no longer leave the table looking for a comfortable place to sit."

"What a beautiful line."  (said while tracing a back leg of a Wilson chair with a finger.)

"They feel so strong, yet are so light."  

I have heard these quotes enough, in several variations, to state them without any attribution. They have taken root in my mind as fact.  But roots in my mind are not worth much to you — we will ship a side chair to you for a test at our expense.  See the Dining Chair Test page for details.

Wilson Chair detailThe deep scoop of the solid wood seat relieves the pressure on your hipbones and holds your back against the lumbar support, so you can stay a long while.  Please see Designing Comfortable Dining Chairs.

These chairs will remain sturdy into their heirloom years.  The front legs are mortised through the seat and wedged.  The stretchers truss the frame.  And, very importantly, the back legs meet the floor well behind the balancing point, so leaning back requires work — sparing the joints this rocking force.

Wilson is Leslie Weeks' maiden name.  I think Grandpoppy would have been proud of these chairs.  We are.
