Buckeye Client Arm Chair – Custom Solid Wood Guest Seating
Create a comfortable and professional seating area with the Buckeye Client Arm Chair. Designed for offices, libraries, reception areas, waiting rooms and refined living spaces, this handcrafted chair combines durable solid wood construction with a fully upholstered seat and back.
The tall upholstered back, supportive arms and generously sized seat create an inviting place for clients, guests, visitors or family members to sit. Custom wood, stain, fabric, genuine leather and nailhead trim options allow you to coordinate the chair with an existing office, study, library or living room interior.
Unlike standard mass-produced guest seating, the Client Arm Chair can be personalized to suit both the functional needs and visual character of your space.
A Comfortable Office Guest Chair With Arms
Guest seating plays an important role in how an office or reception space feels. A chair should provide proper support while helping the room appear welcoming, organized and professional.
The Buckeye Client Arm Chair features a 23-inch width between the arms, giving guests a spacious seating area without creating the oversized profile of a lounge chair. Its 19.5-inch seat height makes sitting down and standing up feel natural for many users, while the 19-inch seat depth provides comfortable support during conversations, appointments and meetings.
The upholstered back adds softness and support, and the solid wood arms provide a stable place for guests to rest their hands. This combination makes the chair suitable for areas where visitors may remain seated for more than a few minutes.
Use it as:
- An office guest chair
- A client consultation chair
- A waiting-room armchair
- A reception-area chair
- A library reading chair
- A home-office visitor chair
- A study or den accent chair
- A conference-room side chair
- A formal living-room armchair

Handcrafted Solid Wood Construction
The Client Arm Chair is handcrafted with a durable solid wood frame designed to provide lasting strength and visual character.
Its exposed wooden arms, legs and frame give the chair a more refined and substantial appearance than guest chairs made primarily from metal or plastic. The natural grain of the hardwood remains part of the finished design, allowing every chair to have its own variation and character.
Available wood species include:
- Cherry
- Maple
- Oak
- Quartersawn Oak
Each wood species creates a different appearance.
Cherry offers warm coloring and a refined look that works well in executive offices, libraries and traditional interiors. Maple provides a smoother, cleaner grain that complements transitional and contemporary spaces. Oak delivers familiar grain definition and a sturdy, classic appearance. Quartersawn Oak provides distinctive grain patterns often associated with Mission and Craftsman-style furniture.

Choose From Multiple Wood Finish Options
The appearance of a solid wood chair depends not only on the wood species but also on the selected stain or finish.
The Client Arm Chair is available with dozens of finish choices, ranging from lighter natural tones to medium browns, rich cherry colors, deep coffee shades and dark onyx-inspired finishes.
A lighter finish can help the chair feel relaxed and contemporary, while a medium stain can complement traditional office furniture. Darker finishes can create a formal look for executive offices, law offices, libraries and professional waiting rooms.
When selecting a finish, consider the color of your:
- Desk
- Bookcases
- Conference table
- File cabinets
- Flooring
- Doors and trim
- End tables
- Existing wood furniture
The chair does not have to match every wood surface exactly. Choosing a finish with a similar undertone can help the room feel coordinated while allowing the chair to retain its own character.
Custom Fabric or Genuine Leather Upholstery
The upholstered seat and back can be customized with fabric or genuine leather.
Fabric upholstery provides a broad range of colors, textures and patterns. Available style categories include solids, geometric designs, contemporary patterns, foliage, stripes, lodge-inspired patterns, novelty fabrics and performance options.
A neutral solid fabric can create a versatile office guest chair that works across changing décor. Patterned upholstery can introduce character into a library, study or traditional living room. Performance fabric may be especially practical for frequently used reception areas, offices or family spaces.
Genuine leather creates a more formal and polished appearance. Leather upholstery can coordinate naturally with wood furniture and may be well suited to executive offices, private libraries, professional waiting rooms and traditional interiors.
Available leather colors include a selection of neutrals, browns, black, gray, blue, burgundy and other rich tones.

Decorative Nailhead Trim
Nailhead trim outlines the upholstered sections and adds a tailored finishing detail to the Client Arm Chair.
Rather than offering only one standard nail color, the chair can be customized with several nail trim finishes. Available choices include tones such as pewter, nickel, black, natural and other decorative metal finishes.
The nailhead trim can be selected to complement:
- Door and cabinet hardware
- Desk hardware
- Lighting fixtures
- Upholstery colors
- Wood stain
- Other metal accents in the room
Dark nail trim can create stronger contrast against light fabric, while natural or warm-toned trim can blend more subtly with wood finishes. Pewter and nickel-inspired options can add a cleaner transitional look.
This small customization detail helps the chair feel intentionally designed for the room rather than added as generic guest seating.
Designed for Offices, Libraries and Waiting Rooms
The Buckeye Client Arm Chair is especially appropriate for environments where comfort and presentation are equally important.
Professional Offices
Place one or two chairs across from an executive desk to create a comfortable consultation or meeting area. The arms and upholstered back provide a more welcoming experience than a basic side chair.
Reception Areas
Use multiple coordinating chairs to establish an organized waiting area. Selecting the same wood and upholstery creates visual consistency, while using complementary fabrics can add variety without making the space appear mismatched.
Libraries and Reading Rooms
The tall upholstered back and traditional wood frame make the chair a natural addition to a private library, reading corner or study. Pair it with a side table and one of Hearthside Furniture’s table lamps to create a practical reading space.
Conference Rooms
Place Client Arm Chairs along the walls of a conference room as additional visitor seating. They can also be used at smaller meeting or consultation tables where stationary seating is preferred.
Home Offices
A home office often needs a comfortable place for a spouse, client, colleague or family member to sit. This chair provides guest seating without making the room feel like a commercial workspace.
Living Rooms and Dens
Although designed with professional spaces in mind, the Client Arm Chair can also work as a formal accent chair in a living room, den or family library. Its custom upholstery and wood choices make it easy to coordinate with existing furniture.
Dimensions and Space Planning
The Client Arm Chair measures:
- Total width: 26 inches
- Width between arms: 23 inches
- Seat height: 19.5 inches
- Seat depth: 19 inches
- Total height: 44.5 inches
- Adjustable seat height: No
Its 26-inch overall width provides a comfortable seating area while remaining practical for offices, reception spaces and reading corners.
Before ordering, measure the intended location and leave enough room for guests to approach and use the chair comfortably. When placing multiple chairs beside one another, include space between the arms so the arrangement does not feel crowded.
Also measure doorways, hallways, staircases and other access points along the delivery route. Hearthside Furniture’s guide on how to measure a room for furniture can help you plan the placement before making your final selection.
How to Customize the Client Arm Chair
Use the following process when designing your chair:
- Select Cherry, Maple, Oak or Quartersawn Oak.
- Choose a stain or finish that coordinates with the room.
- Decide between fabric and genuine leather upholstery.
- Select the upholstery color, texture or pattern.
- Choose a coordinating nailhead trim finish.
- Review the chair dimensions against the available space.
- Consider nearby desks, tables, bookcases and lighting.
- Confirm the final selections before placing the order.
For a coordinated office or waiting area, repeat the same combination across several chairs. For a residential space, consider selecting a fabric that complements the sofa, area rug or curtains without matching them exactly.

Client Arm Chair vs. Desk Chair
The Client Arm Chair is designed primarily for stationary guest seating. It does not include casters, swivel movement or adjustable seat height.
A traditional desk chair is generally used by the person working at the desk and may include movement or height adjustment. A client chair is positioned across from or beside a desk for visitors, conversations and consultations.
Choose the Client Arm Chair when you need:
- Stationary visitor seating
- A more formal and substantial appearance
- Custom wood and upholstery options
- Supportive arms
- A chair for reception or waiting areas
- Seating that coordinates with solid wood office furniture
Choose an adjustable desk chair when the user needs to move between work surfaces or change the seat height throughout the day.
Coordinate a Professional Seating Area
A complete client or waiting area can include more than chairs alone.
Place a solid wood end table between two Client Arm Chairs to provide space for a lamp, reading material or decorative accent. In a reception area, add a coffee table in front of the seating arrangement for magazines and visitor materials.
