Re: Leather Dining Room Chairs
While I'm not really familiar with Carrington Court I can tell you that chairs like this in general are difficult to build (labor intensive) and most are done as bare frame imports. At a price point of $ 300 + dollars in leather, I can almost guarantee that they are made in either Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines or China. I'm sure they are upholstered in NC using various imported leathers, but if you're looking for 100 % USA build expect to spend $ 1K and up on a chair like this in leather. Being imported doesn't make them a bad or inferior chair as there are both good and not so good imports.
How a chair is made determines their structure strength, not country of origin. The strongest chairs will have pinned mortise and tenon construction. A step down from that is doweled and glued construction. They are not as strong as a Mortise and Tenon chair and the dowel joints can and will loosen with age. Unfortunately, unless you can see a photo of the piece without the upholstery on it there is no way to tell. But at $ 300 +, they're going to be dowel joint chairs.
Good luck with your purchase!
