Most dining room chairs have a seat height between 43cm and 48cm. This is designed to pair perfectly with standard dining tables, which usually stand at about 75cm high, ensuring a comfortable gap for your legs.
Can I opt for a bench as my dining chair?
You sure can! There are no rules when it comes to styling an interior space. Benches are fantastic space-savers that can accommodate up to 3 adults or 4 children. They slide completely under the table when not in use, making house chores a breeze and keeping your floor area tidy.
How many chairs can I fit around my dining table?
As a rule of thumb, allow 60cm of width per person. A 1.2m table comfortably seats 4 people, while a 1.8m table seats 6. If you use dining armchairs, you may need a bit more clearance.
Which dining chair material is better for Singapore's weather: fabric or leather?
Both work well! Leather is cool to the touch and easy to clean, while breathable fabrics (like linen or cotton blends) prevent that "sticky" feeling. If you choose fabric, look for treated, spill-resistant options to combat humidity and spills. Explore our pet-friendly dining chairs such as Follie and Julio.
Should I get dining chairs with armrests?
If you love long, lingering dinners, a dining armchair offers superior support. However, they take up more horizontal space and can't always be tucked fully under the table. For smaller homes, armless chairs are usually more practical.
