Jessa Dining Chair in Linen – Target – $350
Add classic elegance to your dining room with this Jessa Dining Chair.
The armless dining chair has a padded round seat and a curved back for sumptuous seating comfort, and it is covered in a solid-colored linen-like fabric to add depth and refinement to your decor. Supported on a hardwood frame with a fully upholstered silhouette, the chair can also be used for additional impromptu seating anywhere in your home.
When you’re looking for dining chairs that feel unique and grounded in natural materiality, wood is a fabulous starting point.
In the selection above you’ll notice several chairs built with solid wood frames or legs – for example the Jeanne Light Walnut Cane Rattan chair shows how a beech-wood frame in a light walnut stain adds warmth, texture and mid-century appeal, while the Hazel Brown Wood Dining Chair from Crate & Barrel uses a solid ash frame in a warm brown finish to introduce rhythmic curves and sculptural detail.
Wood brings in not just structural integrity but a visual richness — the natural grain, the subtle variations, the way it ages. Rather than going for an all-upholstered look, wooden frames allow the chair to breathe, feel lighter in the room, and complement other materials like cane, boucle or woven cord.
For those who love a touch of pattern and contrast, pieces like the Torge Dining Chair pair a walnut frame with a hand-woven cord seat for that tactile, relaxed luxe look.
And if you’re leaning into the Scandinavian or modern-farmhouse aesthetic, wood in lighter stains or natural finishes helps keep the room bright and airy while still giving you personality.
In short: your “unique” dining chairs can absolutely be wood-based — not just in legs, but in the full structural profile — and doing so gives your space authenticity and a grounded, timeless elegance that aligns perfectly with how you want to feel in your home: relaxed, proud to host, and confident in your design choices.
