Nothing beats the smooth finish of a classic wood restaurant chair when you want a timeless look. And nothing beats the durability and elegance of beech, oak, or walnut when you want class sans the stuffiness.

From a dark Kona finish, to a brightly upholstered seat, we love modern wood chairs for the warmth and comfort they can bring to any room. To celebrate a style that never dies, these are our favorite wood pieces, straight from Grand Rapids Chair.

Bentwood: An Elegant Staple

Bentwood No. 14 has been a staple in bistros since its premiere in 1859. Now, there’s a new bistro chair in town and her name is Tilly. Inspired by the form of Bentwood, it takes a modern approach with a solid pressed plywood back. Elegant, comfortable, and versatile, Tilly can rock a casual cafe or the most stylish of wine bars.
