How to choose the perfect dining chair?

Your standard kitchen or dining room table without extra leaves installed generally fits four chairs. Measure out any size table and the chairs you're considering and be sure to leave enough elbow room for everyone—6 inches or more between chairs. Also important to consider: whether or not armchairs will fit under your existing table or the one you're considering. To maximize space, find kitchen chairs that slide flush with the table or counter while not in use. Choose stackable or foldable dining chairs that get out of the way when not in use. 

How do I choose a comfortable dining chair?

Choose a style and feel that matches the look and level of comfort you want. From elegant upholstered dining chairs with comfy padding that's good for formal dining, to rustic, cushioned farmhouse chairs made from solid wood and the modern look of clear plastic shells over steel and chrome-plated legs, there's a type of dining chair for any setting. To free up room in tighter areas, select space saving stackable powder-coated metal chairs or foldable wooden chairs. Find a comfortable seat at breakfast with a swivel chair with adjustable height, a bowl-shaped seat and rounded backrest. Or get cozy in handwoven rattan and bamboo seats over steel legs while enjoying a pot of tea in the afternoon.

What is the average height of a dining chair?

With table heights averaging about 30 inches, IKEA dining chairs typically have a seat height of between 17-21 inches, leaving enough space between your legs and the underside of the table to sit and move comfortably.
