7 Factors to Consider When Selecting Dining Room Chairs

There are many factors to consider when purchasing new dining chairs for your table. From style and material to price and comfort, this guide will help you make the right decision.

Dining Chair Style

It’s acceptable to have chairs that are different from the table, so long as they fit with the room's decor. Some kitchens have a rustic theme, for instance. You may want to select kitchen chairs that tie this style together. Browse our Dining Suite options for your home.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the chairs should be comfortable for the people who will sit on them.

Materials

Most dining tables and chairs are made of wood because it is durable. Due to its durability, wood can withstand a lot of use especially if you have kids or pets.

But not everyone prefers wooden tables and chairs. Some people like a combination of different materials, such as metal and wood, or even glass and resin. If that’s the case, you can choose metal dining chairs for your wooden table.

Price

Dining chairs are likely to be less expensive than the table. If you don't have a lot of money to spend, you may have nice dining chairs that are made of inexpensive materials. Wooden chairs are a popular choice, as are metal chairs.

The quality of the chairs will also have an impact on their price. Begents have a wide range of options that will ensure you’ll find what works for your budget.

Comfort

The comfort of the chairs is another factor to consider. You want dining chairs to be comfortable to sit in, provide support and be able to handle the weight of a person.

Since the chairs are in the kitchen, they should also be easy to clean. You may want to remove the chair cushions from time to time so that you can wipe down the chairs.

Colour

You should pick chairs with a colour that matches the table and the room's other furniture. If you have a rustic theme, you will probably want a table with a lighter colour, such as white. Lighter hues are more suitable for a kitchen not used for a formal dining room.

Lastly, you should select chairs that match the table's finish, especially if the table is dark wood. You may want darker chairs if you have a dark wood table.

Finish

The finish is how your chairs will look after it has been varnished, stained or painted. You should select a finish that goes with your table's finish. You may also want to choose a finish that matches the rest of the furniture in the room. 

A more durable finish could be an advantage if you have a lot of guests over. The finish will protect your chairs from wear and tear and make them last longer.

Height

The height of the dining room chairs is important to keep in mind. You want to be able to comfortably get in and out of your chairs, and be able to reach the table while you are seated without having to stretch.

Conclusion

Dining room chairs are an investment, so you will want to make sure that you choose the best set for your home, your family and your budget. The best way to do this is to carefully compare the different chairs available and pick the one that best suits your needs and preferences.
