Mission Dining Furniture


Mission dining furniture is a very similar style to Shaker but usually has slat construction. Shaker is being known for more of a paneled look. The Mission dining room table for example is a table with a mission slat rail as shown to the right. The chairs features are deluxe mission slat chairs with premium genuine black leather seats. They are extremely comfortable because the padding is very plush and nice to sit in. I wish growing up that they would have used these dining room chairs for my family because dining meals would be a treat with these chairs. The pictured table and chairs is a solid oak dining room table and chairs that feature sturdy mission construction. These chairs and table actually cost more to ship because of the heavy weight and the amount of lumber used in the construction.

Mission dining room furniture was a style that was actually on it's way out then made a reappearance. I was reading an article about Gustav Stickley and his prominent furniture designs. He was the one of the original founders of the Stickley brothers that believed that furniture should not be made cheap and should be made with pride. The family also believed that the furniture is, "what you see is what you get." Which meant that the joinery was true and wasn't of poor construction. We offer the same style of mission dining furniture, chairs and such that have quality construction.
