Sherrill Furniture: American-Made Upholstery
Sherrill Furniture builds upholstered seating and casegoods in the United States. Every piece in the Sutter & Vale lineup comes from that domestic production, which means consistent construction standards and genuine customization that most import-driven brands cannot match.

What is Sherrill Furniture, and where is it made?
Sherrill is an American upholstery and casegoods house. Its production stays domestic, which keeps quality control close and makes the Build-Your-Own program credible: the piece is built after you specify it, not pulled from a warehouse shelf.
How is a Sherrill piece actually constructed?
The quality starts with the frame and builds outward. American hardwood frames form the foundation. Upholstery layers follow: webbing or spring support, cushioning, then fabric. The result is a seat that holds its shape across years of daily use rather than compressing into the frame early.
Seat heights across the line run from 17 inches to 27 inches, so you have real options whether you are specifying a low, relaxed lounge or a higher, more upright occasional chair. The 1014-1 Carved Chair sits at 27 inches with a 25-inch arm height, which reads as a formal accent piece. The 1015-1 Accent Chair, at 17 inches seat height and 29 inches wide, reads as casual and approachable in the same room.
What does the Build-Your-Own program mean for a buyer?
It means the catalogue is a starting point, not a fixed menu. The Build-Your-Own program lets you take a frame and specify it across fabrics and wood finishes until the piece fits the room rather than the product page. That matters when you are working around an existing rug, an inherited wood tone, or a client's specific fabric selection.
Standard finishes across the line include Brown Mahogany, Nutmeg, Walnut, Winchester, Ebony, Stone, and Brentwood. Because most frames are made to order, your specifications go into the build from the start.
How do I read the dimensions and choose the right chair?
Overall width, seat height, and seat depth are the three numbers that determine whether a chair works in a space. Here is how several Sherrill frames compare:
| Chair | Overall Width | Seat Height | Seat Depth | Arm Height |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| W10 Lounge Chair | 31" | 19" | 22" | 25" |
| SW1010-1 Swivel Chair | 33" | 18" | 25" | none listed |
| 1029 Carved Chair | 30" | 20" | 22" | 27" |
| 1059 Accent Chair | 24" | 19" | 19" | 25" |
| 1245 Chair | 28" | 22" | 34" | 24" |
The 1059 Accent Chair at 24 inches wide fits a tight corner or a narrow bedroom wall. The 1245 Chair at 34 inches deep reads as a proper reading chair, with enough depth to sit back into. The SW1010-1 Swivel at 33 inches wide works in a conversation grouping where you want the chair to turn toward the room without being moved.
As a general rule, leave at least 18 inches of clearance between a chair's arm and the nearest wall or sofa arm. For a chair at a writing table, match seat height to table height: a 30-inch table calls for roughly an 18-to-19-inch seat.
Which Sherrill pieces suit an open-plan room?
Scale and leg finish are the two things to calibrate. In an open-plan space, a chair that reads as too small gets lost. A wood leg that picks up the floor tone ties the piece to the room without additional styling effort. The F1262-01 Chair, at 27 inches wide with a Walnut finish option, connects to a wood floor without competing with it. The F118-01 Accent Chair, with its 30-inch arm height and Brown Mahogany finish, adds vertical presence without requiring a large footprint.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Sherrill pieces truly made to order?
Yes. Across the line, pieces are made to order, which means your fabric and finish specifications are applied to a frame built for your order. Lead times vary, so confirm timing with Sutter & Vale when you place the order.
Can I use my own fabric on a Sherrill frame?
Sherrill's Build-Your-Own program is designed for fabric flexibility. Bring your selection to Sutter & Vale and confirm COM (customer's own material) eligibility for the specific frame you have chosen.
How do I care for an upholstered Sherrill chair?
Rotate and fluff loose cushions weekly to maintain their shape. Vacuum fabric with a low-suction brush attachment. For spot cleaning, use a fabric-appropriate cleaner and test it on a hidden area first, and keep upholstered pieces out of prolonged direct sunlight, which fades most fabrics over time.
