How do I choose a good dining chair?
A good dining chair is one that works for you, your space, and your lifestyle - whether that’s a classic leather upholstered chair, a traditional wooden option, or even a modern cantilever style. Take time to think about your preferences - do you prefer the tactile feel of fabric upholstery, or would a wipe-clean option be more practical for your family? At DFS, all our chairs are designed for comfort as well as style, so you can rest assured that whatever you choose, your guests will want to linger around the table long after their plates are empty!
Do dining chairs have to match the table?
It’s your dining room - you decide! Matching the materials or colours of your dining chairs to your table creates a classic look - but why not have fun with your space and choose contrasting pieces for an eclectic vibe? You don’t even have to have all your chairs match if you don’t want to; swapping a couple of seats for accent chairs can work especially well with extending dining tables, as you can use them elsewhere in the house when your table is folded away, but bring them out when you have extra guests over.
How do you know which size dining chair to buy?
While most dining furniture in the UK is a standard size, it’s easy to be concerned that your dining chair won’t fit quite right with your dining table - especially when choosing pieces from different ranges. Here at DFS, we’ve done the hard work for you - all our dining chairs are standard heights and will let you sit comfortably at any of our dining tables.
How much space should be between a chair and table?
For a comfortable sit and enough room to fit your legs under the table, it’s advised to ensure there is a space of 25-30cm between the seat of your dining chair and the underside of your tabletop. You can find the heights of all our dining tables and chairs listed on their individual product pages, but no matter which you choose, all our dining tables and chairs are standard heights and will work together.
How do I clean my dining chair?
The best way to clean your dining chair will depend on the fabric it’s made from, but most will benefit from regular wipe downs with a soft, dry cloth, as well as a gentle vacuum with a brush attachment. No matter the material, any stains should always be tackled right away – first by soaking up any excess liquid with a clean, dry cloth, and then by spot-cleaning the area. Make sure you have the right cleaning products for your fabric and keep them within reach in case you need them in an emergency. For more information on how to care for different types of fabrics, check out our furniture care guides.
