Cedar Looks Log Bistro Chair

The small patio in the corner of the yard — just enough room for two chairs and a round table. Early morning, before anyone else is up. Coffee, good light, and no particular place to be. That's the bistro chair's natural habitat, and Cedar Looks built it to match.

At 48 inches tall, it puts you at the right height for a bistro or counter table — elbows resting naturally, conversation at eye level. The solid cedar frame has enough weight to feel planted without being heavy, and the sanded surface means you never have to worry about what you're sitting in — bare legs on a summer morning, jeans in the fall.

Pair it with the Cedar Looks 32" or 42" bistro table for a complete outdoor set. Or use two on a covered porch as accent chairs around a high bar table. It works anywhere you want the bistro feeling without buying into a generic patio set.

About Log Checking

Northern White Cedar is a living wood, and like any character worth knowing, it has quirks. One of those quirks is called "checking" — the natural process where wood releases moisture and develops surface cracks as it settles. These can range from a hairline sliver to a crack running the full length of a log, and here's the important part: they only ever appear on the surface. They have zero impact on the structural strength or integrity of your furniture.

We think checking gives each piece its own fingerprint. No two chairs look exactly alike — that's a feature, not a defect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What table height does this chair work with?

The bistro chair is designed for counter-height tables between 40–44" tall. It pairs directly with the Cedar Looks 32" Bistro Table (B9B) for a 3-piece set, and the 42" Bistro Table (B9C) for a 5-piece set.

Does it need to be sealed or treated?

No. Northern White Cedar is naturally rot and insect resistant. Staining is optional — for color matching or UV protection — but never required.

Is this the right height for a standard dining table?

No — this is a bistro/counter height chair at 48" total height. For a standard 28–30" dining table, the Dining Chair (B3) or Captain's Chair (B3C) is the right choice.
