Crafted from premium hardwoods such as walnut, oak and ash, solid timber dining chairs provide durability, natural warmth and long-lasting structure. They pair well with a wide range of furniture, including bar stools and dining tables, creating a cohesive dining and kitchen space.
Leather Dining Chairs
Leather dining chairs offer a sophisticated and practical seating solution for everyday dining. Easy to maintain and naturally resistant to spills, leather seating is well suited to family homes. Paired with timber dining tables, leather dining chairs create a refined and contemporary dining environment.
Scandinavian Dining Chairs

Upholstered Dining Chairs
Upholstered dining chairs provide additional comfort through padded seating and supportive backrests. Ideal for long dinners and entertaining guests, these chairs combine comfort with design flexibility.

Dining Chairs FAQ
What is the standard height of dining chairs?
Most dining chairs have a seat height between 45cm and 50cm, designed to match dining tables that are typically 72–76cm high. This proportion provides comfortable seating while allowing sufficient leg room for everyday dining.
How many dining chairs should fit around a dining table?
A useful guideline is to allow at least 60cm of table width per chair so each person has comfortable elbow room. A 1.5m table usually seats four to six people, while a 1.8m to 2.1m table can typically accommodate six to eight dining chairs.
Are wooden dining chairs durable?
Yes. Solid wood dining chairs are known for their durability and long lifespan. Hardwoods such as oak, ash and walnut provide strong structural support and can maintain their appearance for many years when properly cared for.
What is the difference between PU leather and genuine leather dining chairs?
PU leather is a synthetic material designed to replicate the look of real leather while being more affordable and easy to maintain. Genuine leather is made from natural hide and generally offers better breathability and long-term durability.
Are leather dining chairs practical for everyday use?
Yes. Leather dining chairs are easy to maintain and resistant to everyday spills and stains. Their smooth surface can be wiped clean quickly, making them a practical option for many households.
Are upholstered dining chairs comfortable for long meals?
Yes. Upholstered dining chairs typically provide additional cushioning and support, making them comfortable for extended meals or gatherings. Many designs feature padded seats and supportive backrests for improved comfort.
Should dining chairs match the dining table?
