The Hand Peeled Cedar Ladderback Arm Chair: Claim the Best Seat at the Table

Every table has a throne. That one chair everyone quietly fights over — the one with the armrests, the sturdy feel, the sense that whoever sits there is settling in for a good, long meal. Our hand peeled cedar ladderback arm chair is that chair. Built from solid Northern White Cedar logs and finished by hand right here in the USA, it brings real rustic character and genuine comfort to your dining room, your cabin, or your lodge.

A Rustic Dining Chair Built the Old-Fashioned Way

There's nothing fake about this chair. Each one starts as a raw Northern White Cedar log, hand-peeled to reveal the natural grain and texture underneath. That's not a printed pattern or a veneer — it's the actual wood, with all its knots, curves, and character intact.

The classic ladderback silhouette gives it a timeless look, while the solid log armrests add presence and real support. The contoured wood seat? Surprisingly comfortable. You'll linger at the table longer than you planned. That's the mark of a great chair.

Whether you place it at the head of a cedar log dining table or pull it up as a reading chair near the fireplace, this piece earns its place in any room.

Why Families and Cabin Owners Love This Chair

Real wood furniture changes the way a room feels. It grounds a space. It tells your guests, "We built this home to last." And that's exactly what this hand peeled cedar arm chair delivers.

Families love it because it holds up to everyday life — busy dinners, homework sessions, holiday gatherings. Cabin owners love it because it looks like it belongs in a log home the moment it arrives. And everyone loves the weight and solidity of a chair that isn't going anywhere.

Three Finish Options to Match Your Style

Your space is personal, and your furniture should match it. That's why we offer this rustic dining chair in three hand-applied finishes:

• Clear Finish — Bright and natural, letting the cedar speak for itself
• Honey Finish — Warm and golden, perfect for inviting spaces
• Vintage Whiskey — Bold, rich, and deeply rustic

Each finish protects the wood while enhancing its natural beauty. Pick the one that feels right for your family's table.

Solid Cedar Construction — No Shortcuts, No Substitutes

At Lakeland Mills, we've been building log furniture for decades. And we've never once reached for particleboard or plywood. Every piece we make — including this ladderback arm chair — is crafted from 100% solid wood. Period.

Northern White Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insects, which means your chair isn't just beautiful today. It's built for the kind of wear that turns furniture into family heirlooms. The joints are tight. The legs are sturdy. The construction is honest.

That's what you get when real craftspeople build real furniture from real wood.

Build Your Rustic Dining Room Around It

A great arm chair deserves a great table. Pair it with our cedar 42" square table for an intimate dining setup that seats four in style. Need additional seating? Add a 6-foot straight log bench along one side for a casual, family-friendly arrangement.

For a coordinated look, mix arm chairs at the heads of the table with our Black Diamond side dining chair along the sides. Or explore the Black Diamond arm dining chair if you want every seat at the table to feel like the best seat.

That's the beauty of building your rustic dining room piece by piece — you create something that's truly yours.
