Photo Shows Ruth in Young, Luna Old-Growth (with dark stain) and Massive in Mature Redwood
Please note that the Luna Chair and Armchair have been stained in a darker tone.This can be ordered as a custom option—
just let us know in the "Special Instructions & Custom Requests" comment box during check-out. Our Luna, Ruth, and Massive chairs weigh 35 pounds (no arms) and the armchair versions weigh 40 pounds each. The Ruth design’s curves have won over our surfing public and is the number one seller of the bunch (but barely…). |

The Massive Chair began our chair-building enterprise in 2003. At the time, we had made hundreds of picnic and patio tables but only with backless picnic table benches. Our good friend, Tim M., from Santa Rosa, California, wanted armchairs for his table. Tim is 6'4" and 340 pounds. We built an armchair with straight lines to match the patio table’s simple elegant lines. Tim sat in 3 versions until he had an armchair with just the right amount of wiggle room for his size. The Massive armchair was born.

In 2004, the first Luna design was built. The Luna bench (soon to be an armchair too) was inspired by a full moon rising. Our founder, Raul Hernandez, asked for a bench to remind him of the magnificent moonrises over the Old-Growth Again forestlands in Annapolis. The Luna combines glowing Redwood tones with an arched backrest perimeter… yes, kind of like the moon peeking over the trees… We liked the arch motif and the fourth and final Luna design wound up with arched armrests and an inverted arch seat. After a couple tries, the inverted arch seat turned out to be very comfortable.
The Luna bench grew from the original 4-foot version to a 5-, 6- and 8-foot version because our thoughtful customers gently persuaded us to build the sizes they wanted. It wasn’t long before the Luna dining chair and armchair versions came along in 2005. |

The nature of the Ruth chair design is about a young lady. Her beau wanted a rocking chair as a special gift to her. “Design elements?” said the beau, “I don’t know. I just want it to remind me of her” he told Master Carpenter Tony Toledo. Tony asked a few discreet questions and then pulled out the Massive Chair. He reduced the width and depth of the manly Massive chair and added the rocking assembly. Then the curves started… First, her back arched discreetly and almost inperceptibly backwards. Then her arms began a curious dip and roll while the seat suddenly had an agreeable gentle wave. The straight frame members were replaced by soft, playful motion-filled curves. After Tony’s third rocker, the guys in the shop preferred to stare at the rocker more than sit in it.
After several custom orders (yes, our customers literally had to say “I like the Ruth Rocker, can you make a bench 4 feet long with the same design for me?“), it occurred to us to make the Ruth design in bench sizes and as a dining and armchair in 2006. |
The Princess Armchair is designed for that special young lady in your life, whether it be your daughter, wife, mother, or young-at-heart grandmother! Every woman deserves to be treated like royalty sometimes, and your favorite lady will enjoy the perfect touch of that elegance seated in this handsome chair.
