Dining chairs are used more frequently than any other piece of furniture in the home and determine how long an evening at the table lasts. Eichholtz dining chairs combine upholstered shells in velvet, bouclé, and leather with frames made of wood, brass, and stainless steel.
Dimensions that fit the table
There should be 27 to 30 centimeters between the seat and the bottom edge of the table. For a typical table height of 75 centimeters, this means a seat height of around 46 to 48 centimeters. When choosing dining chairs with armrests, please check if they can slide under the tabletop. Otherwise, the chairs will permanently stand further out, making the room appear smaller than it is.
How many chairs fit at the table
Allow 60 to 70 centimeters of table edge per person. A dining table of 200 centimeters comfortably accommodates six chairs, or eight with chairs at the ends. Around the table, 90 to 100 centimeters should remain free so that one can move back and pass behind.
Mix rather than matching sets
Eight identical chairs can quickly resemble a conference room. Two armchairs at the ends and six simpler chairs along the long sides are the easiest way to add dynamism to the table. A bench on the window side saves space and makes the room appear more open. In the kitchen and at the counter, bar stools serve the same purpose.
Upholstery and everyday use
At the dining table, upholstery is put to the test: leather and tightly woven fabrics are the most forgiving, bouclé adds texture, and velvet provides depth of color. Light upholstery on chairs in homes with children requires impregnation. Pay attention to the glides: felt protects parquet, metal on tiles is noisy. A rug under the table must be large enough for the chairs to remain on it even when pushed back.
