Dining chairs are used more frequently than any other 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. For dining chairs with armrests, please check if they fit 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. There should be 90 to 100 centimeters of free space all around so that one can push back and walk past.
Mix instead of set
Eight identical chairs can quickly look like a conference room. Two armchairs at the ends and six simple 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 in use: leather and tightly woven fabrics are the most forgiving, bouclé adds texture, velvet provides depth of color. Light upholstery on chairs with children in the house requires impregnation. Pay attention to the glides: felt protects parquet, metal on tiles is noisy. A rug under the table must be large enough so that the chairs still stand on it even when pushed back.
