Benefits & Use Cases
Designed specifically for small spaces, the Skempton dining chair maximizes functionality without compromising on style. Its compact footprint—just under 18 inches wide—makes it ideal for narrow tables, cozy corners, or multi-use rooms where space efficiency is key. Despite its modest size, the chair maintains generous proportions for adult comfort, allowing users to relax during meals, remote work sessions, or social visits.
The neutral grayish white palette ensures effortless coordination with a variety of table finishes and color schemes. Whether paired with light oak, dark walnut, bold accent walls, or minimalist decor, these chairs adapt gracefully to different interior themes. Their coastal-chic and modern farmhouse influences make them particularly suited for open-concept homes, beach cottages, urban apartments, or transitional-style interiors seeking a touch of rustic refinement.
Because they ship as a set of two, the Skempton chairs offer immediate symmetry and balance at your dining table—no need to search for matching replacements later. Lightweight enough for occasional repositioning yet built to withstand daily wear, they’re as practical as they are attractive. From weekday breakfasts to weekend brunches, these chairs support both routine and special moments with quiet confidence.
Important Notes
This product is delivered as a set of two chairs requiring minimal assembly. The rub-through finish is intentionally distressed as part of the design process to achieve an antique-inspired look; minor variations in distressing may occur due to the hand-applied method, which adds to the authentic farmhouse feel.
For optimal longevity, avoid placing chairs in direct sunlight to prevent fading of the paint and fabric over time. Clean the polyester upholstery with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed; do not submerge in water or use harsh chemicals. Always check your existing dining table dimensions before purchase to ensure proper fit and clearance—especially important in tight spaces where every inch counts.

Perfect farmhouse style chairs
Love these so much. Cute, classic farmhouse style and simple but sturdy. Easy to put together with only a few pieces. The cushions are a little firmer than expected but I think that should help them last longer. Ended up buying 6 total for my farmhouse style kitchen table.

Warm-White Chair with Tan Cushion
I really like these chairs with the following notes: seat cushion is extremely firm. (Not a cushion feel at least at first— not an extremely comfortable chair to sit for a long time). Chair has good weight to it. The seat is higher than my previous chairs. For reference, I’m 5’6” and my feet are not quite flat on the ground when sitting. I thought the chair was moderate difficulty assembling. They provide one very small hex tool and my opinion was that it was not possible to adequately assemble the chair with that tool. I switched to a power screwdriver which made it possible to tighten the screws. If you don’t own or want to purchase a power screwdriver, I would not buy these chairs. The color is a white wash with light brown showing thru. Overall look is a warm white. Chair cushion has a linen/burlap tan look. For reference, the paint color in the photo is alabaster and rug is light oatmeal. If you are looking for true white chairs, you would not be happy. They match my decor so I really like them.

Looking for a hefty but nice looking chair?
I love these chairs! I am quite overweight and had been looking to match the original Oak chairs to our 4 piece Oak Dining Room Table since our house got flooded in August of 2016. We could never find exactly what we needed, so I gave up a couple of months ago and bought these Ashley Chairs, set of 2. The price was right, they looked nice in the online pictures, was adequate for my weight, AND had attached cushions that did not make the chair too tall for me toreach the floor. All in all, it was a slam dunk! The chairs arrived, my husband put them together in no time, and with me making a habit to use my tablecloths, they look like they were make for my table. They definitely are made for me. I truly do love them.

Great value at 50% off however……
I was very excited to find chairs that matched a table that I found on Facebook Marketplace and even more so when I realized they were almost half off. The first chair was a bit challenging to put together, but not terrible – so I was very confident when I began to assemble chair # 2. Unfortunately, the cushioned part of the chair was not positioned properly so that I could assemble it to the back of the chair. I was ready to cry because I already removed my old set and was really excited to have the new set together. I was also concerned about how difficult it would be to return. Fortunately, I was able to remove the seat cushion from the seat frame, and then reposition it so that I could get the frame attached properly. I ended up having to clumsily reassemble the cushion to the frame which was very nerve-wracking because it involved drilling new holes and I am not good with a drill. By the time I reassembled it, I had cussed enough to make a sailor blush. After that, the rest of the assembly was smooth as silk. I’m not pleased with the sloppy job I did – but since it’s on the underside of the chair, it’s ok I supposed. Now, on to the pro’s. The color matched the pictures online. The cushion is relatively comfortable – not cushy – but firm which I like. The material is think and seems good quality. The chairs have some good solid weightiness – they aren’t made from the fake particle wood. It seems the only part that is plywood is the seat cushion frame – possibly the slats on the back of the chair. Another cool feature is that the front legs have these little height adjusters that you can twist to make the chair higher or lower if it is a bit wobbly. The first chair I put together didn’t need any adjustments, the 2nd one did and I suspect it had to do with the assembly issue I described. Whoever cut the parts from the 2nd chair I put together was not precise…Overall I am very pleased with the look of the chairs – time will tell the durability. I do feel like I should get a replacement chair for the 1 that I had to mess with because it isn’t perfect like the first and I don’t feel like I did a good job. Even thought it was on sale – I still purchased a set that claimed to be valued at $125 per chair and so I expected them to fit together without having to do major maneuvering.
