Mattress Mack, question is, why do solid wood dining room chairs Made in America cost a little more?

That's a good question. The table's job right here is pretty simple, it holds dinner and holds those family gatherings, but a chair, a chair has to safely support people every single day, from a 120-pound teenager up to your big Bubba brother-in-law who's 300-plus during Thanksgiving dinner. That's a tremendous amount of stress over years and years of use.
Cheap imported chairs snap apart when brother-in-law sits down, and they come apart because they weren't built for that kind of usage.

The Amish solid wood chairs, made from solid maple, solid oak, solid cherry, and walnut with mortise-and-tenon joinery, are corner-blocked, glued, and screwed for additional strength because you expect these chairs to be around for your grandchildren. That's what they do.

I was talking to Gloria, this customer service lady at Gallery Furniture, the other day. 30 years ago, when we carried imported chairs, every week 5 or 6 customers would come in with a chair in their hand. They've got a spindle here, they've got the chair seat there, they're furious the chair had exploded during dinner.

She said since we've been carrying solid wood chairs over the last 20 years, less than a handful of people came in with a solid wood chair that was broken, and generally that was because of abuse, but we still exchanged the chair. That's what solid wood chairs do, they last a lifetime.

They're built to hand down from generation to generation. Spend a little more, buy a solid wood chair Made in America, support American jobs, and get a chair that you and your family and your grandchildren will enjoy for generations.
Memories are held in this solid wood chair.
It's Made in America, it's made to last.
