Dining Chairs

How to choose dining chairs

• Seat height: our dining chairs are made for a standard dining table of about 75 cm. Check your own table first.
• Width per person: each person needs about 60 cm of table edge, so check the chair widths below against it.
• Room behind the chairs: leave at least 80 cm between the table and the wall, so people can pull out their chairs.
• Arms or no arms: Chairs with arms take more room at the table. Check that the arms slide under the table top.
• Easy care: faux leather and plastic wipe clean. On velvet and bouclé, blot spills instead of rubbing them.

Common mistakes when choosing dining chairs

• Mismatched heights: a seat too high for the table leaves no room for your knees.
• Too many chairs: six chairs on a 150 cm table, three per side, give each person only 50 cm, which is too tight.
• Delicate fabric at a busy family table: spills soak into absorbent fabrics. Faux leather or plastic is easier to keep clean.
• Faux leather in strong sun: keep faux leather chairs out of the brightest spot, so they do not dry out.

Frequently asked questions

What seat height should a dining chair have?

One that leaves about 30 cm between the seat and the table top. Measure your own table to be sure.

How many dining chairs fit at my table?

Divide the table length by about 60 cm per person to get the seats per side.

Can I buy dining chairs individually, or only in sets of 4 or 6?

Individually. You can order exactly the number you need.

What is the best fabric for dining chairs?

Velvet, bouclé and woven fabric feel the softest. If easy cleaning matters most, choose PU (faux leather) or a plastic seat instead, which wipe clean.

How far should a dining chair go under the table?

Far enough that the front of the seat tucks under the table edge. Check that the chair back and any armrests still clear the table top.
