Chair Joints: For Strong Chairs, Look at the Joints
When it comes to wooden chairs, one of the most critical elements is the chair joints. There are several types of wood joints in use today, but very few can promise long-lasting strength that prevents wobbling. This is where our proprietary Eustis Joint® sets us apart. The Eustis Joint combines traditional mortise and tenon construction with modern engineering, offering unparalleled durability.
If you care about the longevity of your seating—especially when it comes to hardwood chairs—it’s essential to consider how well they’ll maintain their beauty and comfort over time. Here’s why the quality of your chair joints matters so much:
Joints: The True Test of Chair Durability
In any wooden chair, the joints are where the real stress lies. Over time, wear and tear will affect the joints more than any other part of the chair, and weak joints can cause a chair to fail when you least expect it. Imagine a chair collapsing under a high-weight load or after being handled roughly by children. The potential liability for institutions like schools, clubs, or libraries is enormous, not to mention the damage to your reputation.
If you’ve ever sat in a wobbly chair, you know the discomfort and lack of stability it provides. Loose joints lead to shaky support, which is why it’s crucial to invest in seating with joints that are built to last.
Why Choose the Eustis Joint®?
With the Eustis Joint®, you won’t have to worry about loose or wobbly chairs. You can forget about costly furniture repairs or frequent replacements. Our chairs are crafted to showcase the inherent beauty of the hardwood, all while maintaining superior durability.
The Eustis Joint is stronger than nearly any other wood joint on the market. Its superior tensile strength and high viscosity ensure the joints won’t degrade over time. Tensile strength refers to how well a material can handle stress, while viscosity measures the glue’s ability to resist breakdown. Every joint we create is reinforced with steel rods and aerospace-grade epoxy, resulting in chairs that last for decades—far outliving the wood itself.
Additional Benefits of the Eustis Joint®
The Eustis Joint isn’t just about durability; it’s also about sustainability. Because our chairs last so long, they reduce waste, helping institutions that choose Eustis Chair minimize their environmental footprint. Our joint technology even enables the creation of stacking chairs that can endure the stress of frequent stacking without compromising the structural integrity of the chair.
At Eustis Chair, we’re passionate about creating seating that lasts. We’re one of the few companies that focus on joinery, helping our clients understand why this often-overlooked feature is so essential. Thanks to the strength of the Eustis Joint, our chairs don’t require additional support elements like stretchers or nails—those are included only when they serve the overall aesthetic.
