Blyth Solid Wood Shaker Dining Chair – Tall or Short Back, With or Without Arms

Bring timeless simplicity, natural hardwood beauty, and traditional Ontario craftsmanship to your dining room with the Blyth Solid Wood Shaker Dining Chair. Handcrafted by skilled Mennonite furniture makers in Ontario, this classic wooden dining chair combines the clean lines of traditional Shaker furniture with the warmth and character of solid wood.

Available in Tall Back or Short Back styles, with or without arms, the Blyth Shaker Chair offers four seating configurations to complement your dining table and home décor. With a comfortable dining-height seat measuring 17¾ inches high and 17½ inches wide, this versatile chair is an attractive choice for farmhouse kitchens, family dining rooms, country cottages, and traditional interiors.

Choose Your Style – Tall Back or Short Back

The Blyth Shaker Dining Chair is available in two distinctive backrest heights, allowing you to select the appearance that best suits your dining space.

Tall Back Shaker Dining Chair – 39½" High

The Tall Back version measures 39½ inches in overall height, creating an elegant, traditional silhouette around your dining table. Its taller backrest adds visual presence, making it especially attractive for formal dining rooms, farmhouse tables, and larger dining spaces.

The Tall Back chair features a 17¾-inch seat height and 17½-inch seat width, providing consistent seating dimensions when paired with other Blyth chair styles.

Short Back Shaker Dining Chair – 34½" High

The Short Back version measures 34½ inches in overall height, offering a lower-profile design while maintaining the same classic Shaker styling.

Its more compact appearance works beautifully in smaller dining rooms, breakfast nooks, and kitchens where a less prominent chair back is preferred.

Like the Tall Back, the Short Back chair features a 17¾-inch seat height and 17½-inch seat width, making it easy to combine both styles around the same dining table.

Available With or Without Arms

Personalize either backrest style by choosing an armless side chair or a coordinating armchair.

Side Chair – Without Arms

The armless Blyth Shaker Dining Chair offers a streamlined design that works beautifully along the sides of rectangular dining tables or around round kitchen tables. Its traditional styling and open sides make it a versatile choice for everyday family dining.

Armchair – With Arms

The Blyth Shaker Dining Armchair adds wooden armrests to the traditional chair design, offering additional arm support and a more substantial appearance.

Armchairs make attractive end chairs for rectangular dining tables and can also be used throughout a dining set for a coordinated appearance.

Both Tall Back and Short Back styles are available with arms, allowing you to create a dining arrangement that suits your personal preferences.

Traditional Shaker Design and Solid Wood Craftsmanship

The Blyth Dining Chair reflects the simplicity, functionality, and understated elegance associated with traditional Shaker furniture.

Its clean wooden lines and timeless design complement farmhouse, cottage, country, and traditional dining room interiors.

Handcrafted in Ontario by skilled Mennonite furniture makers, each chair showcases the natural beauty of genuine hardwood and the character of traditionally made furniture.

Choose from available stain colours to coordinate with your dining table and surrounding furniture, or select an unfinished chair if you prefer to apply your own finish.

The Blyth Shaker Chair pairs beautifully with solid wood farmhouse tables, pedestal tables, trestle tables, and handcrafted Canadian-made dining furniture.

Create a Coordinated Dining Set

One of the advantages of the Blyth Shaker Dining Chair is the flexibility to combine different chair configurations while maintaining a consistent furniture style.

Choose Tall Back side chairs for a traditional dining arrangement, Short Back chairs for a more understated appearance, or matching armchairs at the ends of your dining table.

Because both backrest styles share the same 17¾-inch seat height, Tall Back and Short Back chairs can be arranged together without creating uneven seating heights.

The five-inch difference in overall chair height allows you to introduce subtle visual variation while preserving the clean, coordinated appearance of traditional Shaker furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions – Blyth Shaker Dining Chairs

1. Will the Blyth Shaker Dining Chair fit comfortably under a standard dining table?

The Blyth Shaker Dining Chair has a seat height of 17¾ inches, which is within the typical range for chairs used with standard dining tables measuring approximately 28–30 inches high. However, table aprons, support rails, and leg placement can affect the available space. Before ordering, measure the clearance beneath your table and compare it with the chair's dimensions to ensure comfortable seating and legroom.

2. Will the Blyth Shaker Armchair fit underneath my dining table?

When selecting a dining armchair, it is important to consider more than the seat height. The armrests must have sufficient clearance beneath the tabletop or table apron if you want to push the chair completely under the table. We recommend measuring the distance from your floor to the lowest point beneath your dining table and comparing it with the armrest height. Contact Cinnamon Cabin Co. for the armchair's complete measurements before ordering.

3. Are wooden Shaker dining chairs comfortable for everyday family meals?

Traditional Shaker chairs are appreciated for their straightforward design and practical everyday use. The Blyth Chair provides a wooden seat and backrest, although comfort will depend on individual preferences and seating habits. Customers who prefer additional cushioning may wish to use a properly fitted removable seat cushion. When selecting dining chairs, consider both the chair's dimensions and the amount of time you typically spend seated.

4. How many Blyth Dining Chairs can I comfortably fit around my table?

The number of chairs depends on your table's dimensions, leg placement, and whether you choose side chairs or armchairs. As a general guideline, allow approximately 24 inches of table-edge space per person, with additional room for wider chairs or a more spacious dining arrangement. Armchairs may require extra space because of their overall width. Measuring the usable space between your table legs will help you determine the best seating arrangement.

5. How should I clean and maintain my solid wood Shaker dining chairs?

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and wipe up spills promptly using a slightly damp cloth, followed by a dry one. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, excessive moisture, and prolonged exposure to direct heat or sunlight. Maintaining reasonably consistent indoor humidity can help reduce seasonal wood movement. If you order unfinished chairs, apply an appropriate protective furniture finish before regular dining use and follow the finish manufacturer's care recommendations.

6. Can I order additional Blyth Shaker Chairs later to expand my dining set?

Additional Blyth Shaker Chairs may be ordered separately, subject to current availability and production arrangements. If you plan to expand your dining set later, keep a record of your original back style, arm configuration, stain colour, and finish. Natural wood variations and differences between finishing batches may produce slight colour differences. Contact Cinnamon Cabin Co. when ordering additional chairs so we can help coordinate them with your existing furniture.
