Ultimate Dining Chair Buying Guide 23rd Oct 2020 Posted by Kayla Wilson on 23rd Oct 2020 Facebook Instagram Pinterest Linkedin You've chosen your perfect dining table and you know how many seats you need so now it's time to choose your dining chairs. There's loads of choice from the design to the fabric and the chair legs, so here's a guide to choosing the right dining chairs for you. SHOP ALL DINING CHAIRS Dining Chair Materials Available There's two areas here to consider...the fabric for the chair seat and the material for the chair legs.Seat Fabric For the chair fabric you want to think about maintenance and how easy they are to clean up after spills - especially if you have young children. Faux leather will require a quick wipe with a damp cloth and job done, whereas velvet and textured fabrics will need a tad more scrubbing especially to avoid staining from some foods and liquids. You should also consider your comfort needs and whether a cushioned chair might be more suitable. Faux Leather Chair Seats Contemporary look and a popular choice. Easy wipe clean with a damp cloth. Velvet Chair Seats Velvet chair fabric adds texture which contrasts beautifully against the clean lines of dining tables. Chair Leg Materials Choosing your chair leg material is mostly about astethics and the design you like. Sprayed black legs are a subtle option which doesn't detract from the seat design where silver chrome adds a more modern look. Going for gold is great for those who are feeling brave and want their dining chairs to be statement pieces. Black Gold Chrome Silver Chrome Wood Choosing a Chair Colour Chair colours is one area where you can consider choosing bolder colour statements to create a dramatic effect in your dining room. Accented against a simple, elegant dining table a brightly coloured or unusual design chair can really stand out.

Dining Chair Dimensions It's recommended that you allow for at least 30cm of space between the top of the seat and the tabletop to allow your guests to sit comfortably. For standard dining tables the common dining chair seat height is between 45 and 58cm. The seat height is the distance between the floor and the part of the chair you sit on (the seat). You also want to ensure that the seat depth or chair depth is comfortable to allow your guests to sit back comfortably and not find themselves teetering on the edge of the seat which can dig in to the back of their thighs.Chair Weight Capacity Manufacturers will weight test their dining chairs as part of their safety tests. Our dining chairs are weight tested up to 130kg. Caring for your dining chairs: Avoid strong or abrasive cleaning products, a simple damp cloth should be enough to get your dining chairs cleaned up and looking new. For dried on or tougher stains then some washing up liquid mixed with warm water and a gentle scrub with a sponge should do the trick. SHOP FOR DINING CHAIRS ONLINE Need some more inspiration?
