This Affinity Traditional Captain’s Chair (ATCC) a college chair with no logo is available in several combinations of Finish and Hand-striping – unlike any other College Chairs or Alumni Chairs. Amish Made in Ohio!
This really is the best constructed Captain’s Chair on the market. Please compare carefully the structure of this university chair versus other wooden captains chairs that you will find on the market. The structure of the legs and stretchers (cross members between legs) is optimized for strength, durability, and many years of beauty and service. The arms and crown (headboard) are constructed of Solid Cherry wood.
Stained Finishes include any of the Ohio Certified Stains from light maple to dark walnut. Finishes are available along with choices of Gold Hand-striping, Silver Hand-striping, or No Hand-striping. This chair is absolutely far superior in design, structure, and finish to chairs of this genre that you will find in college bookstores. We finish the Entire Chair; the underside of the seat is as important as the obvious surfaces. We install brass plates under the seat to identify our company, Alumni Chairs LLC, and the model of your chair. Our chairs are signed by our finisher, the last person to touch your chair before it is shipped to you.
Unless you request otherwise, your ACAC chair is produced without a logo or college seal. However, if you would like for your college chair to represent your college or university, we can install the desired image at an additional charge, providing we gain permission of your school.
If you have any questions about the dimensions, size wood, finish, logo, colors, shades, construction time, and shipping time, please click “INQUIRE”, below, and ask us to contact you. These are custom chairs, and we want to make certain that we understand exactly what you want in a chair.

Nicole Johnson, Accounting, Columbus School for Girls, Ohio –
The process from start to delivery was very easy. I worked with Dan he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He not only helped me with the selection of the chair and type of wood, he helped me with getting the correct logo uploaded, he kept me informed of every step from production to delivery. It is definitely a great place to order Captain’s chairs.
Scott Brown, Program Manager, Donor Relations & Stewardship, Summa Health Foundation –
Dan and his team do a great job! We have used them for multiple projects. Always quick to respond and accommodating. I’m sure we’ll use his team again sometime soon!
Kara Vanmater, Donor Relations, Hackensack Meridian Health –
I worked closely with Dan from my initial inquiry all the way through the delivery of the chairs and couldn’t be happier! We were in need of a standard size and miniature chair, and Dan and team exceeded our expectations for both. The detail and precision of our medical school’s seal, to the personalization of the donor and recipient names made us proud to present these chairs to their new owners. We would 100% recommend using Alumni Chairs, as they listen to what you need and are easy to communicate and work with.
Judy Kennedy, Development, St. John’s Episcopal School, Olney, MD –
I could not be happier with Dan and his staff. Helpful, quick to respond, and most importantly a beautiful crafted Captain’s chair was delivered. I would be happy to post a picture of it but the teacher who received it is sitting in it all the time!
Julie Bouziotis, Practice Administrator, Stony Brook Dermatology Associates –
My experience with Dan from Alumni Chairs was refreshing: personal, professional, high contact, super friendly. I ordered two Captains chairs that are beautifully handcrafted and extremely high quality. Our Department founding chairs LOVE them!!! Absolutely recommend.

We recently ordered an Affinity Traditional Captain’s Chair to present as a gift for the named recipient of an endowed chair. You and your team did an amazing job completing the project within our time constraints, and providing us with updates along the way. Our guest of honor could not have been more pleased with the chair, and even sat in it for the duration of our program. What a wonderful experience you provided!
Tammy Steele, Associate Director, Alumni Relations, Bridgewater College –
We needed to order a special gift for our outgoing Alumni Association Board President. The quality was excellent and working with Alumni Chairs was easy! We highly recommend them for quality work and a great product.

Service and attention to detail were exceptional. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for a unique, customized piece of furniture.
Linda Hill, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee –
I am the Art Director for Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. We have a high standard for our art installations and the chairs that Alumni Chairs built were extraordinary. They are in a class of their own, not at all the common version of chairs that are often seen. These are beautifully built with flawless attention to detail. The personalization was wonderful. The communication with Dan was thorough, quick, and extremely personal. He was determined to produce excellent chairs and deliver them on time. In addition to the chairs, we ordered the miniature chairs so that the doctor being honored had his chair and the donor was presented a miniature chair. Everyone was most impressed and the hospital took great pride in having these very special chairs. Linda Hill
Peter Schmidt –
We ordered two custom chairs last year. The chairs are made with the highest quality and craftsmanship. We are so happy with them, the way they look and how they feel while seated. These chairs are a work of art and will be in our family for many years to come. Thank you for the great work! We love our chairs.

Bobbie Varble –
Our new hand-made Allegheny College chair was a great present for my husband, who had been wanting one since graduation 60 years ago. Since Allegheny no longer supplies these chairs, we were lucky to find the folks at Alumni Chairs, who had to fabricate the authentic seal and design. They did a great job for us. Bobbie
Lew Price –
An alumni chair was designed and made to be presented to our Yacht Club Commodore at the end of their term each year. The chair met requested specifications and was made of high quality materials and fine craftsmanship. We plan to order a new chair each year.

Megan B. Owings, President of Administration & General Counsel, David A. Bramble, Inc., Chestertown, Maryland –
Working with Alumni Chair to customize my chair was a great experience. The company takes pride in its products and takes a personal approach to ensure you get exactly what you’re looking for in a chair. The chair I wanted required permission for the use of the logo, which Alumni Chair obtained and was diligent in accomplishing any follow-up needed to complete this task. The chair itself is high quality and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this company and their product.

Sam Heed, Kalmar Nyckel Foundation, Wilmington, Delaware –
I’m thrilled with my academic chair from Alumni Chairs. The workmanship is outstanding and the finish stunning. The quality of the custom-made seal Alumni Chairs created for my law school sets it apart from others I have seen. I own three other academic chairs from different companies, and this one from Alumni Chairs is by far and away the best. Second best isn’t close. I highly recommend Alumni Chairs to anyone looking for an exquisite addition to their home or office. Many thanks to Dan and the great team at Alumni Chairs.”

Hello Folks,
The chair arrived today unboxed, and the young man just carried it up from their trailer to the front door. It is really lovely and in excellent condition, and the inscription has my name spelled correctly. Thank you very much for such a remarkable gift, I very much appreciate it.

Patricia Kasuda –
I just want to thank you once again for assisting me with the purchase of the beautiful Alumni Chair. The design and craftsmanship is beautiful. The engraving of the college logo looks spectacular. This will be a long remembered keepsake for Alexis, my granddaughter.
Your kindness and willingness to work with me to obtain permission from Christopher Newport University was outstanding. Your support in ensuring the delivery was done on time and with the expertiseof those having pride in their work. The added touchesof the plates on the back of the chair and the one of authenticy on the bottom make the chair even more special.
This is my second purchase for graduating grandchildren, and I look forward to working with you for upcoming graduations.
Sincerely,
Pat Kasuda

Best as always,

Sydney Cable, Menlo Park, California –
This chair is a great treasure and something we hope to pass down through the family. The personal engraving is very intricate and accurate, and the structure of the chair is strong and very comfortable considering it is made of wood. I have sat in it while working from home and found that it was better for my back than a different plush chair we have. Thank you, Dan and Team, for your craftsmanship!
Thanks again,
Syd Cable
Joanna Cable, Spokane, Washington –
Thank you, Dan! It was tremendous of you to go the extra mile to ensure all was done right and well. If I ever need to get another chair, I will definitely contact you!
Natalie Furlong –
Working with Alumni Chairs has been a great experience. I highly recommend this company. I was so pleased to be able to find a company that would create a quality chair and customize to my specifications.
My specific request was for a college chair because my family member’s school did not sell the item . Alumni chairs were able to obtain the logo and create a beautiful piece of furniture.
The craftsman is first class. The delivery was made with great care and service. Highly recommended.
Thanks, again, for your help.

Janet D., Alumna of Dickinson School of Law –
My alma mater had been acquired by another university, but I wanted to use the original seal and hit a road block on obtaining approval from the university. I really appreciated the willingness of Alumni Chairs to work with me on a custom solution – incorporating a large medallion with the seal of my alma mater into the chair itself. The chair was absolutely beautiful!

Dan at Alumni Chairs was great to work with. He kept me in the loop about the production of my chair. I’m so happy with how it turned out. It was exactly as I imagined. Thanks to all the craftsmen who were involved in making it. I highly recommend that you take a look at their chairs!

Attached are a couple of photos of the Emmanuel College chair your organization just delivered. With all that is going on with COVID and more, it’s hard to know how things will play out. I am happy to say this has been a very pleasant journey. Dan, you kept me informed along the way, with status, expectations and things I should expect. For this … thank you.
The chair is perfect. It looks beautiful and we are so happy with it. Our daughter, Samantha, will love this as she celebrates her graduation from Emmanuel College in Boston. Thank you for being part of this celebration.
Thanks so much!

Marilyn Mathews, Averill Insurance Agency –
…we received our chair order yesterday, inspected all eight units upon delivery, and all seem to be in good order. The finishes and colors are terrific, and your service was very timely. I feel these chairs will serve our office needs for many years. Thank you for the help, and when we are all moved in I will forward some photos of their placement in the offices.

John Cunningham –
Chair has arrived in great shape. It was well packaged with more metal clips on the box top than you could shake a stick at! I open it to see the chair that also was wrapped up and cushioned in all of the right places. I decided to keep it in the box and just wrap it as a big Xmas gift. Thank you so much for your attention to every detail including the packaging. It was delivered when you said it would be and was being held by the Consierge at the front desk until their man could deliver it to our apartment. I went down right after your call and brought it back myself. Thank you again for everything. I am sure our grandson will be thrilled to get it this Christmas!
Sincerely and appreciatively,
John Cunningham

Thank you so so much for our Wisconsin Chair!!!!! Rick and I looked the Chair over yesterday and everything looks beautiful on it. Can’t wait for Kathryn to see it. I have been babysitting our grandson for almost a month while they moved so can’t wait for him to get to see them too. Will keep you posted this week with pictures . Thanks again for making this a very special Graduation present. If you ever get to Delaware let us know….

Jake –
Dan is a great guy who is clearly very serious about ensuring customer happiness. The chair is a great product – beautiful, heavy, rock solid – everything I’d hoped for. A bit more, actually, and my expectations were very high indeed! Highly recommended.
Pat Beman –
Our four chairs arrived yesterday afternoon, and we carefully checked the boxes before the FedEx delivery person left the premises. There was no evidence of damage. We then unboxed the chairs, and they are Absolutely Beautiful. All four recipients are thrilled. I see now why it was so important for you to have the artwork to your exact specifications – the seals are so nicely done and so intricate that it was well worth the effort to track down the artwork through the vendor who does our graduation invitations.
Thanks again,
Pat
Stuart Kelly –
The chair arrived this morning at just a little before 11:00 o’clock and I could not be more pleased with it! The size is perfect and the lacquer finish is gorgeous. The seal came out beautifully too. It is a point of pride in this house. Even though I got my Master’s degree at Vanderbilt, Southwestern has always been the more important school for me. And the chair is comfortable too. I am glad that I invested in this and am very happy to have it. Thank you for all of your help in making it possible.
Thank you again,
Stuart
Heidi –
Thanks for the great service with our new college chair! We now have 4 different chairs from 4 different companies and your chair is by far the best college chair − both wood, logo engraving, and the most comfortable.
Parent of Dartmouth Graduate –
It arrived. It’s fabulous!! Thank you!!!! When our last child heads to college we will definitely order from you again.
Patricia Schurr –
Wanted to say thanks to Alumni Chairs for the time, interest, and professional assistance provided as we searched for a well made, sturdy arm chair for our 90-year-old mother. Mom required a piece of furniture that provides stability as she raised from the chair to her walker. This chair provides just that. In addition, the chairs (we purchased two) have a beautiful finish, the design blends with her decor and visitors complement the choice she made. Thanks again for the excellent service and product. My mom loves the chairs, the arm rests are a bit lighter then expected – was thinking they would be like a stained maple, but she really enjoys them. Thank you for your assistance. Best wishes for a happy & healthy summer!
Michael Carpenter , MD –
They did a Great Job! They had to contact the university many times for the logo. They were very helpful in designing the logo.
Tom Cottingham –
Time for another chair. My daughter is getting her MBA from the John’s Hopkins Carey Business School. I’m going to have her pick the chair style today or tomorrow. I don’t know if you already have a relationship with Carey School, or if you’ll need to start at ground zero. I’ll let you know the style asap. Ideally, we would have the chair around the end of May, but I know that’s not a lot of time.
All the best,
Tom
Tom Cottingham –
Chairs have arrived! All are awesome! Thank you so much. Like I said, I’ve got a couple more coming up soon. I appreciate all the work you did. Well done! Thanks, a lot!

Marie Drury –
Finally, late last afternoon, we opened the boxes, and we LOVE them. Thank you…THANK YOU, Dan and Team, for such a fine job. …and the hand-signed chairs and other info on the bottom of them. Lovely. What a nice touch!
I double —triple—the wonderful look of the chairs and the care of the engraved brass plate. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! …we looked over the entire chair tooth and comb. Beautiful!!
Your chairs are a power visual symbol…wonderful inspiration and incentive…
Elayne Bonett –
I am so satisfied and happy with both chairs! Alumni Chairs was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. The design of both chairs is remarkable! My directors were so impressed with the chairs that they definitely will be wanting more in the near future! Thank you!
Ed Higham –
I reached out to AlumniChairs.com as my daughter’s college did not offer graduation chairs. The chair is beautiful and the service was great. Nothing but praise.
Doris –
Dan and his team provided excellent service from start to finish with the three Traditional Captain’s Chairs that I ordered. The college logos were granted with special permission from Humboldt State University and UC Irvine and were beautifully engraved and hand painted with a special metallic gold paint. The guys did a great job! Beth did a great job with the engraving of the nameplates. If you’re looking for a special gift for your college graduate, I highly recommend Alumni Chairs.
Michael Hires –
Our board chair was stepping down and we were looking for an appropriate gift to acknowledge her contributions to the organization. The quality of the chair is hard to determine from a website, but upon arrival, it was crystal clear that selecting Alumni Chairs was the right choice. From the great customer service and ease of ordering to the caliber of the Affinity Traditional Captain’s Chair, we had a great experience and will be ordering additional chairs soon. Their products are worth every penny. Thank you for providing a fitting sendoff to our board chair.
Jim Young –
I’ve had this chair for more than a year now. It is exactly as advertised: solid hardwood, beautifully crafted and finished. The attention to detail is evident everywhere in the construction and finish. It was customized exactly to my wishes and well worth the wait and the price. The company is delightful to work with as well. A top quality chair from a top notch company.
Jane Robinson –
A friend of mine is a retired U.S. Army colonel and was inducted into the University of Rhode Island ROTC Hall of Fame as the first female. Eight of her friends got together and ordered a chair for her. Alumni Chairs was very diligent to make sure everything was perfect – the chair and the plaque. The high quality chair is proudly displayed in her living room in Virginia. I highly recommend Alumni Chairs.
Tom Allen –
I sought out a high-quality college chair for my son’s graduation present, to continue a 4-generation tradition. Alumni Chairs produced a beautiful Affinity chair for me, with a custom official college logo. They obtained permission for the logo and built me a great chair that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend them!
