Overview

The James Modern Ladder Back Chair: A Timeless Design, Reimagined

A Piece of History at Your Table

For centuries, the ladder back chair has been a quiet icon of honest craftsmanship. Its story begins with the Shakers, whose principles of simplicity, utility, and integrity were built into every piece they made. They created the ladder back not as a decoration, but as a strong, lightweight, and practical chair for daily life—a symbol of functional beauty that has endured for generations.

The James Chair: A Modern Interpretation

The James Chair honors this legacy and elevates it for the modern home. While a traditional ladder back features straight rungs, our artisans have given the James four gracefully curved horizontal slats. This subtle, sophisticated update does more than just catch the eye; it provides exceptional ergonomic support, cradling your back for lasting comfort through long dinners and lively conversations. It’s the perfect marriage of timeless form and modern function.

Crafted for a Lifetime of Gatherings

This thoughtful design is brought to life by the hands of skilled Amish woodworkers. They don’t just build furniture; they create heirlooms. Using solid, American-grown hardwoods like oak, cherry, or maple, each chair is constructed with time-honored techniques like mortise-and-tenon joinery. This isn't just a chair; it's a future antique, built to host your family’s most cherished memories for decades to come.

Your Chair, Your Way

Make the James Chair uniquely yours by choosing the perfect combination for your home:

  • Select Your Hardwood: Choose from a wide variety of solid wood options.
  • Choose Your Finish: An array of stains and paints to match your decor perfectly.
  • Pick Your Seat: Opt for a classic solid wood seat, or add comfort with luxurious fabric or leather upholstery.
  • Side or Arm Chair: Create a complete set with matching arm chairs for the heads of your table.

Ready to create a dining room you’ll love for a lifetime? You can order your custom James Chairs online, speak with a design consultant over the phone, or visit one of our showrooms. We are excited to help you build your dream dining set.
