This vintage Mid Century Modern set of six dining chairs by Young Manufacturing dates to the 1960s and features the iconic “cat eye” back design, with elongated oval cutouts running vertically through the sculpted backrests. The frames showcase warm, tapered profiles and gently flared legs, giving the set a light, architectural presence that is both graphic and elegant. Two armchairs anchor the set while four side chairs complete the grouping, creating a balanced and cohesive dining arrangement.

The carved back panels create a striking rhythm when viewed as a group, while the slim silhouettes and subtle curves reflect the refined craftsmanship Young Manufacturing is known for. The proportions are ideal for a dining setting, offering visual interest from every angle without feeling heavy or bulky. The original seat forms and graceful arm shapes (on the captain’s chairs) add to the sculptural quality that makes these chairs stand out as both functional seating and design statements.

These chairs are offered in two options: vintage as pictured and vintage restored. In vintage as pictured condition, they retain their original finish and upholstery, showing typical wear consistent with age and use. In the vintage restored option, the frames will be professionally refinished and the seats reupholstered. Reupholstery is included with your purchase; however, the fabric is not provided. Customers will need to supply the fabric of their choice, and our team will handle the professional reupholstery process so the set is refreshed and ready for many more decades of use.

Condition & Restoration

We photograph each piece in its current condition and offer two ways to purchase: as-pictured or restored. This approach gives you a clear and honest view of the item and allows you to choose the level of finish that best suits your needs.

As-Pictured:
Choosing the as-pictured option means you’ll receive the item in its current state with light cleaning and basic touch-ups completed in our warehouse. We ensure that drawers, doors, and structural elements are functional, but no deep refinishing work is performed. This option is ideal for those who appreciate the charm and patina of original vintage finishes, want to avoid additional restoration costs, or prefer a quicker turnaround without the lead time required for refinishing. It's also a great choice if you’re a collector or designer looking to integrate the piece into a space with a lived-in aesthetic.

Restored:
Selecting the restored option includes our full professional refinishing process. Once selected, the piece is transported to our workshop, where we address surface damage like lacquer failure, chips, water marks, and deep scratches. Our team sands, stains, and seals each surface where appropriate, restoring the finish while preserving the character of the original design. We also carefully adjust doors, drawers, and hardware to ensure smooth operation and reliable function. The result is a fully restored vintage furniture piece, ready for daily use and built to last for decades to come.

This dual-option model gives you the flexibility to choose what’s right for your space, style, and timeline—without compromising on quality or transparency.

Note:
Some items may only be available for purchase with restoration included. In these cases, the original condition does not meet our standards for resale without a full professional refinish.
This ensures that every piece we ship—restored or otherwise—meets the level of quality and functionality we stand behind.

Conversely, certain items—such as lighting, upholstered pieces, or otherwise—are only offered as-pictured, as we typically don’t refinish these types of items.
