Have you ever found yourself pondering the key factors that contribute to the stability of a chair? Here at Eustis Chair, unraveling the mysteries of chair stability is our forte. Our chairs stand out in the market as some of the most durable options available, and there’s a wealth of reasons behind this remarkable strength. What makes a chair stable?
Wood Species
When delving into the realm of chair strength and stability, the type of wood used emerges as a crucial consideration. Chairs can be crafted from a variety of wood materials, each possessing unique characteristics. Notably, the hardness of the wood plays a pivotal role in determining the strength of the chair. Hardwood, renowned for its durability, often takes center stage in crafting robust chairs. However, it’s important to acknowledge that the comfort factor should not be overlooked. While hardwood chairs provide superior stability, the comfort level may be enhanced by opting for a softwood chair with a padded seat.
Seats
Eustis Chair takes pride in designing and manufacturing hardwood chairs that epitomize longevity. Our commitment to durability doesn’t mean compromising on comfort. Several of our popular chair designs, such as the Jenkins Chair, boast cushioned seats to provide optimal support, catering to a harmonious blend of stability and comfort.
Joinery
But what truly sets our chairs apart in terms of stability is our revolutionary approach to joinery. The joints of a chair play a pivotal role in determining its overall strength, and here’s where the Eustis Joint® steals the spotlight. Invented by our founder many years ago, the Eustis Joint® employs concealed steel rods and state-of-the-art adhesives to join two pieces of hardwood. This innovative process ensures a level of joinery that surpasses the strength of the hardwood itself, eliminating the risk of weak joints compromising the integrity of the chair design.
Chair Longevity
The unparalleled joinery provided by the Eustis Joint® translates into chairs that stand the test of time, retaining their full working capacity even after decades of daily use. Specifically designed for high-use spaces, our chairs are a testament to craftsmanship that goes beyond the ordinary. In fact, we are so confident in the longevity of our chairs that all those crafted with the Eustis Joint® are backed by an exceptional 20-year warranty—an uncommon offering in the industry. While other hardwood chairs in the market may come with a one or two-year warranty, our extended warranty underscores the trust we place in our craftsmanship and the enduring stability of our chairs.
