About East Seat

East Seat is a small, independent maker of mahjong table accessories, based in Maryland, USA.

The name

East is the dealer's seat, the one that opens every hand. On game night it tends to be the host's chair, and the host is who we design for.

The game

Mahjong began in China in the 1800s. It reached the United States in the 1920s and has been played here ever since, in Chinese American families, in Jewish American communities that shaped the American style of play, and now by a new generation learning it for the first time. We are guests at a very old table. We make accessories and leave the game alone.

How the mats are made

We draw every design ourselves. Each mat is printed after it is ordered, by a print partner in the United States, and shipped straight to you. Nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing is thrown away unsold.
