Windsor Chairs – Styles and Features

Believed to be inspired by the West Country stick-back chairs, these solid wood chairs with round-tenoned chair-backs and legs go well with any colonial, cottage, and country style furniture. The uniqueness of this quirky chair is the spindle-back mounted onto a plain, shallow dish or saddle-shaped seat. But varieties of Windsor chairs are available with variations in armrests, the wood used, the shape of the back, etc. The two chair backs in trend are the round-back and square-back.

Along with its durability and sturdiness, these lightweight chairs are made to fit the human body perfectly. The mortise and tenon joinery at legs and spindles, as well as stretchers in the legs, reinforces the chair’s strength despite it looking fragile. This rustic dining chair brightens the space owned with natural grains, solid colors, and multi wood construction.

Although these cottage-style chairs are used as dining chairs, they can be a perfect décor utility in your living room, near the window in your bedroom, as reading chairs, or outdoor garden chairs.
