Which dining chair material is easiest to live with?
PU leather and faux leather are the easiest to keep clean, as most spills wipe straight off.
| Material | Good for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| PU or faux leather | Families, everyday meals | Can feel warm in summer |
| Boucle or sherpa | A soft, textured look | Needs regular vacuuming |
| Velvet | Rich colour, formal dining | Shows marks from pets and kids |
| Linen or chenille | A relaxed, neutral room | Spot clean spills quickly |
| Rattan and timber | Natural finish, light weight | A seat pad may help on long sits |
How many dining chairs do I need?
Match the chairs to your table: two to four for a round table, and six or eight for a long rectangle.
Allow about 60cm of table edge per chair. Most chairs here are between 42cm and 60cm wide, so check the width before squeezing an extra seat in.
How tall are dining chairs?
Overall heights range from about 72cm for low-back bentwood chairs to around 108cm for high-back designs.
Low backs sit under the tabletop when pushed in and keep the room open. High backs give more support during long dinners.
Can I mix and match dining chairs?
Yes. Mixing works best if you keep one element the same, such as colour, leg finish or seat height.
A popular approach is a pair of armchair-style chairs at the ends of the table with armless chairs along the sides. Two-tone boucle sets in black and white make mixing simple.
What should I check before ordering dining chairs?
Check the seat width, overall height and the number of chairs in the set.
Make sure the chair arms, if any, clear the underside of your table. Folding and stackable chairs are useful when you need extra seats only for guests.
Can I pay it off?
Yes. Pay with Afterpay or Zip, or check out with PayPal. A $312.50 set of four round leather dining chairs is four fortnightly Afterpay payments of $78.13.
