Each chair measures approximately 25.5"W x 20.5"D x 28.38"H with a seat height of 17.5", and they have been professionally refinished to ensure their integrity for many years to come. The restoration process included a complete breakdown and rebuild, culminating in a luxurious reupholstering with Cognac Cowhide.
