Collection: Dining Chairs

Dining chairs get used every day, so comfort and the right height matter as much as the look. The main things to check are the seat height against your table, the material for how it'll wear, and whether you're buying singles or a set. Match those to your table and household and you'll actually enjoy sitting at dinner.

What height should dining chairs be?

Aim for about 28–30 cm between the seat and the underside of the tabletop so legs fit comfortably. Standard dining tables are around 75 cm high, which suits chairs with a seat height near 45–47 cm. Measure your table's height and the gap under the apron before you buy, especially for upholstered chairs, which sit a touch taller.

Upholstered, timber or moulded?

Upholstered chairs are the most comfortable for lingering over dinner, though fabric needs the odd clean — a wipeable PU cover helps with kids. Timber chairs are sturdy, classic and take years of use. Moulded plastic or resin chairs are light, easy to wipe and good value, suiting casual and outdoor-adjacent dining. Match the material to how long you sit and how messy meals get.

Should I buy a set or singles?

A matched set gives a consistent look and usually costs less per chair than buying singly. Singles let you add exactly the number you need or mix styles deliberately — two carvers at the ends, say. If you want them identical, buy the set together, since finishes can vary slightly between batches.

What we'd tell a friend

Check the seat-to-table gap before anything else — a chair that's 3 cm too tall turns every dinner into a knee-jam. And if you've got young kids, wipeable seats beat fabric; spaghetti night is not kind to linen.

Common questions

How many dining chairs do I need?
Match the table's seating — a 6-seater takes six chairs. Leave about 60 cm of table width per chair so nobody's squeezed.

What seat height suits a standard table?
Around 45–47 cm, giving a 28–30 cm gap to a standard 75 cm tabletop. Measure your table first, especially with upholstered chairs.

Do dining chairs come assembled?
Many arrive ready to use or need only the legs attached; the listing says which, and whether it's a single or a set.

Can I pay with Afterpay?
Yes — Afterpay, Zip, Klarna or PayPal Pay in 4. A $149 set of dining chairs works out to four fortnightly payments of about $37.25.
