The simple plywood furniture of many Usonian homes was fabricated on-site by the carpenters or in local cabinet shops. When SAMARA was built in 1955-1956, the craftsmen on site decided that the SAMARA dining tables and chairs were much too complex to build.

The blueprints showed extensive use of beveled edges and corners. In fact, Mr. Wright's instructions were to bevel all edges of the chairs and to miter all corners of the tables and chairs. The complete dining room set consists of two four-foot long tables butted together to create an eight-foot long table with 12 matching chairs.

The chairs were designed to be 3'6" high with five open perforations depicting winged seeds in motion centered along the high wooden backs. Like the rest of the house, the dining room furniture was constructed from Philippine mahogany.

However, unlike the other furniture in the house, the dining room pieces are designed to be made from solid Philippine mahogany wood. In 1989, Gary Carter, a local craftsman and furniture maker, was commissioned by Dr. Christian to build the SAMARA dining room tables and chairs.
