|  | | Helpful Information for Choosing Dining Room Chairs
|  Seating is available in many different styles, materials, sizes, finishes, fabrics, and prices. This makes for a lot of choices!
For your convenience we have compiled some basic industry information and hints that should help to answer any questions you may have, and aid you in finding the seating solution that will be most appropriate for your needs. This guide should help you determine which size and style chair will be most appropriate for your needs.
What height dining chair do you need?
The general rule of thumb is to have 10"-13" between your seat height and your table height.
Standard Seat Heights:
Dining Chairs = 17-19”
Standard Table Heights:
Dining/Breakfast Table = 28-31”
How many dining chairs will fit at a table?
Plan your table seating. The main objective is that all guests are comfortable when they are seated. Select comfortable and ample seating and don't seat too many people at the table.
Seating Guideline:
You should have 28-34” of space per person. This allows for 24-28” for each place setting and 4-6” between each place setting.
Allow 24-28” of space behind each chair when someone's seated in it.
Also allow for 12-14” depth beneath the table for leg room.
Do you want arms on your dining chairs?
This is really a matter of personal preference. Armed dining chairs can be more convenient for the elderly, as they can use the arms to aid in raising or lowering themselves in the chair. If you decide on an armed dining chair, you want to be sure that the arms of the chairs are low enough to slide beneath the table without bumping into it.
Width, depth, height, and seat height dimensions are given on all detail order pages for each dining chair to aid in guiding you in your selection.
