Dining Table Set with Cushioned Chairs in Carved Teak and Blue

Every dining chair is a compromise between two things that pull in opposite directions. Rake the back and the chair becomes comfortable to sit in for a long meal. Rake it too far and the chair will not tuck under the table, because the top of the back arrives at the table edge before the seat does.

The limit is fixed by geometry, and it depends on your table, not on the chair. The taller the back and the lower the table apron, the less rake is available. So we set the rake last, after both dimensions are known: the seat is positioned where it needs to be for legroom, and the back is then leaned back as far as it can go while the crest still clears the table edge when the chair is pushed home.

On a table with a shallow apron - like this one, where the apron is shaped rather than deep - there is more room to work with, and the chairs get a noticeably more relaxed angle than a chair sold on its own could risk.

That is the practical case for buying a table and chairs as one commission rather than separately. A chair bought alone has to assume the worst about the table it will meet. A chair made for your table does not have to assume anything.

Set: one dining table with side chairs and a carver, made together as one commission.

Frames: solid teak throughout, hand-carved by master Indian artisans.

Table: rectangular top with a shaped apron on carved cabriole legs.

Chair backs: padded and buttoned, with the rake set from your table's apron height so the chair still tucks fully in.

Seats: deeply cushioned with the front edge rolled over the rail.

Carver: open shaped arms set to pass beneath the table apron.

Upholstery: pale blue cloth as photographed; any fabric or leather available.

Finish: hand-applied light natural teak; darker polishes and painted finishes also available.

Joinery: mortise and tenon throughout, corner-blocked at every seat rail.

Dimensions: custom sizes made to order - final measurements confirmed in writing before production.

Deep cushions and padded backs mark under compression, so each chair is wrapped in soft non-abrasive sheeting laid on loosely, and none are nested inside one another.

The buttoned backs are covered with the sheeting laid over rather than pulled tight, so no button is pressed into the padding behind it. The rolled front edge of each seat is padded along its full width, as it is the part that catches when a chair is carried through a doorway.

The table travels as top and base. The top is face-protected with a rigid board and edge-protected all round; the shaped apron and the carved knees of each leg are padded individually. The carver's arms are padded along their full length.

Unpack the chairs first, then the table. If any upholstery looks compressed after unwrapping, it recovers within a day - that is the nature of a well-filled cushion.

Delivery is free anywhere in India for the whole set, and every piece is guaranteed to arrive dent-free. If anything is wrong when the crates are opened, correcting it is our cost, and we commit to that before you order.

Production begins once the table size, chair count, upholstery and finish are confirmed in writing. The chair back rake is set from the table's own apron height, so both are settled before any frame is cut.

We share the schedule at confirmation and update you as carving, finishing and upholstery complete. Tracking follows as soon as the crates leave us, and our team agrees the delivery window with you directly.

Open the crates with the delivery team present and check every piece. Send us your doorway, lift and stair measurements at the order stage and we set the top size to a dimension that will reach the room.

Every frame in the set carries a 20-year warranty on solid teak frame and joinery - the table and each chair on identical terms. Because these frames are deliberately slim, the joints are corner-blocked and they are exactly what the warranty stands behind.

A lifetime warranty against termite damage runs on every piece, resting on teak's own oils rather than on an applied treatment, and issued in writing with the set.

Both documents are tied to your order and handed over on delivery, so the record stays with you. If a covered fault appears on one piece, send photographs and we repair or replace that piece alone.

Upholstery, cushions and the applied finish are wearing surfaces and are handled separately. We re-cover and re-finish our own furniture at any age, and your specification - including the back rake and cushion depth - stays on file, so a replacement chair sits exactly like the originals.
