FAQs
What Are the Most Durable Materials for Indoor Dining Chairs?
Durability comes down to the quality of construction and the materials used. Solid hardwood like oak, ash, or walnut is the most long-lasting option, offering strength and a classic look that improves with age. Leather and woven seats are equally durable when properly cared for, as they naturally flex with use rather than weaken.
Upholstered chairs with high-density foam and tightly woven fabrics provide comfort and longevity if protected from direct sunlight and spills. Choosing materials that suit your lifestyle, such as wipe-clean timber for families or soft upholstery for formal dining, helps ensure your chairs last for years.
Are Dining Benches a Good Alternative to Dining Chairs?
Absolutely. Benches are a versatile and stylish option, perfect for casual and family dining spaces. They make the room feel more open, seat more people comfortably, and can easily slide under the table to save space when not in use.
Many of our customers pair a bench on one side of the table with traditional chairs on the other to create a relaxed yet balanced dining setup. For larger homes or open-plan living, benches also double beautifully as entryway or hallway seating.
How Do I Match My Dining Chairs to My Dining Table?
You don’t need to buy a matching set to achieve a cohesive look. The key is balance and harmony rather than perfect uniformity. Consider matching tones and textures, for example, pair a light oak table with woven rattan chairs for a warm, natural feel, or contrast a dark timber table with upholstered chairs in neutral tones for an elegant finish. If your table is a statement piece, keep the chairs simple, or if you want the chairs to stand out, choose designs with interesting details like curved backs or leather seats.
How Should I Care for Timber and Leather Dining Chairs?
- For timber chairs, wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust or spills, and use a gentle furniture oil or wax every few months to nourish the wood.
- Avoid placing them in direct sunlight to prevent fading. For leather chairs, dust with a dry cloth and clean with a pH-balanced leather cleaner when needed.
- Conditioning leather every 6-12 months prevents cracking and keeps it soft and supple. Always lift, rather than drag, your chairs to protect joints and flooring.
How Many Dining Chairs Should I Allow Per Table Size?
As a general rule, allow about 60cm per person for comfortable seating. A 1.8 metre dining table comfortably fits six chairs, while a 2.4 metre table fits eight. If you have a rectangular table, consider using armchairs or end chairs at the heads of the table for visual balance.
For families or frequent entertainers, benches provide flexible seating and can accommodate extra guests when needed. The key is ensuring everyone has enough space to sit and move comfortably without feeling crowded.
What Should I Look for in a Quality Dining Chair?
A well made dining chair should feel stable, supportive, and comfortable even after extended use. Look for solid joinery, balanced proportions, and quality materials such as hardwood frames, reinforced legs, and firm yet comfortable seat cushioning.
Chairs that don’t wobble, creak, or tilt under weight are indicators of good craftsmanship. Comfort is also essential; the backrest should support a natural sitting posture, and the seat height should align easily with your dining table.
