Dining Chairs

Host your guests in comfort and style by picking the best seating options for your dining area. Before making a decision, take a look at some important questions that customers have that can guide your shopping process.

What is considered a "dining chair"?

Any type of chair used in the dining room can be classified as a dining chair. Due to its potential to conserve seating space and accommodate more guests, the most commonly used type is the side chair. However, there are different styles and designs that can be sorted by size, functionality, and level of comfort. You can get a seating design with an armrest, a swivel chair, a corner nook, and even a bench to complement your dining area.

What is the difference between a side chair and an armchair?

The answer is in the name armchair, which includes armrests for your comfort. Since they tend to take up more space, most people prefer using side chairs to fit more guests at the dining table. If you have a rectangular dinner table, you can mix both designs by placing the side chairs on the sidelines while reserving the armchairs for the hosts sitting at both ends.

Should dining chairs match the table?

It's easier to choose the chairs after you've already picked a dining table. The main reason is that both furniture pieces need to match in proportions. You don't want to take home dining chairs that are too big to fit comfortably with your table. Regarding style, they don't need to be a perfect match. You can buy them from separate designers as long as they have a common element, such as color or layout. However, if you want your table and chairs to be a perfect match, we recommend that you check the dining set section.

How should you choose a dining room chair?

There are a few factors you should keep in mind when picking out your dining room chair. Measure the room and the dining table to be sure you have enough leg space for your chairs to accommodate all your guests. Also, consider the style, construction, and upholstery of the chair. Go for durable, stain-resistant material and a supportive format that can keep your back comfortable and sustain a proper posture for the duration of the meals. Wooden pieces with metal accents and distressed finish can work with an industrial, farmhouse, or coastal dining room. If you prefer chairs with a modern look, we have minimalist designs with U-shaped legs and polished metal accents. Traditional style chairs provide an elegant and opulent presence to your dining room using carved accents, a dark wood structure, and button-tufted details on the upholstery. Our dining section has options for all tastes and styles. Search through our carefully selected tables and chairs to complete the look of your dining room.
