Willow Chair

The willow chair is a wooden chair with a slatted back, a lighter alternative to the cross-back for rustic and boho receptions. The open slats let light through, which keeps a long farm table from looking heavy when the chairs are seen in a row.

It suits garden parties, vineyard dinners and casual-elegant weddings where you want natural material without the heavier farmhouse look. It also mixes well with other wooden chairs, so a table can use willow chairs for guests and a few cross-back or rattan chairs at the ends.
