We offer six styles — or Collections — of chairs and bar stools:  The Alexander, The Baker, The Densmore, The Greenwell, The Everett, and The Lee Children’s.

Select the desired Collection and then select between the arm/side chair or bar/counter stool depending upon the Collection. This will direct you to the respective Product page. By clicking on options in the dropdown boxes you may select the finish, fabric, monogram style, initials, and thread color. The customization feature allows you to immediately preview how your monogram will look on the chair and the price of the chair based on the options selected. Please keep in mind this is a computer-generated image and does not reflect the quality, craftsmanship, and overall beauty of the actual product. The customization feature is user-friendly, interactive, and very fun. We encourage you to explore all the possibilities.

A monogram tab has also been provided where you can study the different monograms available. By clicking on a specific monogram you will see a composite of how all the letters look in that particular monogram. Honestly, some letters look better in one monogram than they do in another. You may prefer the Kate “S” to the Charlotte “S” or vice versa. Please invest some time evaluating the monogram options to see which best suits your initials, your personality, and the visual you hope to achieve. If you have any questions, please contact us at customerservice@jwilkinsonchair.com or 252-258-9606. 

We hope you thoroughly enjoy designing your chair!

For individuals, a traditional three-initial monogram is the first name initial on the left, the last name initial in the center and larger, and the middle name initial on the right. You may also choose a two-initial monogram using the first and last initials.

In recent years, couples have been opting for a “duogram” or joined monogram. For married couples with the same last name, the wife’s first initial is typically on the left, the couple’s last name initial in the center and larger, and the husband’s first name initial typically on the right. For couples with different last names or hyphenated last names, a popular option is a two-initial monogram using the initials of both last names or both first names.

If you have a three-initial monogram whose acronym has another meaning, it is completely appropriate to switch the letters or consider a two-initial monogram. Four-initial monograms can also be accommodated. Remember when it is all said and done a monogram should represent what is most meaningful to you.

Yes. There are more color options available for each of our fabric styles:  Performance Linen, Performance Velvet, Performance Diamond Twill, and Herringbone Twill. In addition, there are hundreds of thread colors from which to choose. If you do not see the fabric or thread color you are looking for on our website please contact us directly at customerservice@jwilkinsonchair.com or 252-258-9606. We will gladly work with you to identify wonderful fabric and thread options for your project.

Our chairs are made in the USA using hand-crafted European Beechwood frames imported from Italy. Each frame is assembled, finished, and upholstered — one chair at a time — in High Point, North Carolina. If you have any questions, please contact us at customerservice@jwilkinsonchair.com or 252-258-9606.

The customization feature utilized on our website is a tool that approximates, as closely as possible, the finish, fabric, monogram style, and thread color you have selected. The preview of those selections is quite accurate but still best used for proofing purposes. We may occasionally make slight adjustments to the size, placement, and stitch pattern of a monogram but only for the purpose of enhancing the overall aesthetic. The Lifestyle images throughout the website are much truer representations of the color, quality, craftsmanship, and overall beauty of the chair(s) you will receive. Our goal is for your J. Wilkinson Chair Company chair to exceed your expectations the first time you see it and for many years to come. If you have any questions, please contact us at customerservice@jwilkinsonchair.com or 252-258-9606.

J. Wilkinson Chair Company is more than a furniture brand — it is a way to honor your family for generations to come. A monogram is one of those rare things in life, like your name and birthday, that truly belongs to you forever. As so, each monogramed chair is designed with intention and the highest level of craftsmanship. The attention to detail given to each custom piece ensures it will not only be a beautiful work of art, but a comfortable respite for life’s most glorious moments. Our hope is that amongst your J. Wilkinson chairs you will gather with those who bring you joy and revel in those glorious moments knowing that your family heritage is proudly displayed in a modern and beautiful way. 

Yes, we love working with fabrics that you have selected with intention for your space. Before ordering the yardage required for your project, we request that you provide us with a sample of the fabric you have in mind so we can confirm that a successful monogram can be produced that meets our standards — and yours — for beauty and durability. If you have any questions, please contact us at customerservice@jwilkinsonchair.com or 252-258-9606.

Absolutely. While most monograms go on the front of a chair, the traffic flow and dynamics of a room may lend themselves to putting the monogram on the back of a chair where it will be more visible — more enjoyed. Clients will often put a monogram on the back of a desk chair or bar stools. On occasion we put a monogram on the front AND the back of a chair so the monogram can be seen coming and going. There is no right or wrong placement — just whatever works best in your space. If you have any questions, please contact us at customerservice@jwilkinsonchair.com or 252-258-7477.

We adore helping a bride and groom incorporate their custom monogram into the details of their wedding and reception.

The short answer is no. However, with that said, our chairs can be used and enjoyed temporarily whenever an outdoor event is planned. Most all of the fabrics we offer are performance which certainly lends them to outdoor use. Feature them at an outdoor wedding reception, dinner party, bridal portrait, birthday party, graduation party — any celebration really. Just remember to bring them indoors at night or the first sign of inclement weather! If you have any questions, please contact us at customerservice@jwilkinsonchair.com or 252-258-9606.

We do not. However, performance fabrics are generally stain resistant, liquid resistant, pill resistant, fade resistant, anti-mildew and eco-friendly. You can refer to our fabric care guide here.

For further fabric protection we recommend contacting your local FiberSeal. https://fiberseal.com

In addition to being beautiful, monograms are more durable than one might imagine. Just think of all those gorgeous monograms created decades ago that we still enjoy today. With that said, common sense does rule the day. Please avoid sharp objects, buttons, zippers, or snaps coming in contact with the monogram. You are fine sitting in your monogrammed chair everyday as the stitch density is calibrated for maximum “tightness” to avoid snagging and pulling of the thread but we encourage you not to let your monogrammed chair become your dog or cat’s favorite sleeping spot.

While most of our fabrics are performance, the highly-quality threads used in our monograms are not deemed performance. Follow the cleaning instructions for your chair’s fabric, but we highly recommend the monogram itself be professionally cleaned if and when the need arises. If you have any questions, please contact us at customerservice@jwilkinsonchair.com or 252-258-9696.
