Frequently Asked Questions About Dining Chairs
How many dining chairs do I need for my table?
Allow about 60 cm of table edge per chair so guests can sit and use cutlery without bumping elbows. A 1.4-1.6 m table fits 4 chairs comfortably, 1.8-2.0 m fits 6, and 2.2-2.4 m fits 8. Round tables of 1.2 m fit 4, and 1.5 m fits 6.
What is a standard dining chair seat height?
Standard dining chair seats are 45-47 cm from the floor and pair with a table that is 73-76 cm tall, leaving roughly 27-30 cm of leg clearance. If you have an unusually tall or short table, check the product page seat height before ordering.
Can I order a single dining chair to replace a damaged one?
Yes. All of our dining chairs are sold individually as well as in sets, so you can buy one, two or as many as you need. Note that fabrics and timber finishes can vary slightly between production batches, so an exact match years later is not guaranteed.
Is it OK to mix different dining chair styles around one table?
Yes, and it is a popular look. The easiest way is to keep one element consistent across all chairs - either the same timber tone, the same upholstery colour, or the same seat height - while varying the rest. Head-of-table accent chairs are another common pairing.
Upholstered or wooden dining chairs - which lasts longer?
Solid wood chairs are the most durable and easy to wipe clean, which suits everyday family use. Upholstered chairs are more comfortable for long dinners and look more formal, but the seat fabric will show wear sooner. A common compromise is upholstered seat pads on a timber frame.
Why Our Dining Chairs Stand Out in NZ?
Tired of the same wooden set in every Kiwi dining room? Dining chairs don’t mean boring. We rewrites the script with modern profiles, designer fabrics and curves that hug you through long dinners. Most of our dining chairs arrive fully assembled, just unbox and enjoy! Each chair is built for comfort yet versatile enough to moonlight elsewhere: slide one under a makeup table, pair it with a reading lamp in the corner, or let it stand alone as functional art in the lounge. Explore our range of dining chairs online and discover seating that works as hard as it looks.
