Dining Chairs

The dining chair is the piece your table is actually built around — the one you sit in, lean back in, and linger in long after the plates are cleared. Our dining chair collection is chosen with that in mind: solid timber frames, honest upholstery, and proportions that work with real tables and real rooms.

Browse timber, upholstered, leather and bouclé dining chairs, plus bar and counter stools for kitchen islands. Every chair lists its real seat height, width and materials, so you can match it to your table with confidence. Based in Queensland and delivered Australia-wide.

Choosing dining chairs is really about two numbers and one feeling: seat height, the gap to your tabletop, and whether you actually want to stay at the table once the meal is done. As a rule, a standard dining table sits around 74–76cm high, and a seat height near 45–48cm leaves comfortable clearance for most people.

Timber dining chairs are the workhorses — durable, repairable and quietly at home with almost any table. Upholstered dining chairs trade a little practicality for a lot of comfort, which is why they suit longer, slower dinners. Leather ages into something better with every year, and boucle brings soft texture to otherwise hard-edged rooms. There is no single right answer, only the one that fits your table and your household.

Every chair in this collection lists its real materials, and we are adding full dimensions as our range grows. If you need an exact seat height or width before you commit, contact us and we will confirm it — usually the same day. Based in Queensland, we deliver dining chairs Australia-wide.

Frequently asked questions

What seat height should a dining chair be?

Most dining chairs sit around 45–48cm from floor to seat, which suits a standard 74–76cm dining table. Aim for roughly 28–30cm of clearance between the seat and the underside of your tabletop.

How many dining chairs fit around my table?

As a guide, allow about 60cm of table width per chair. A 180cm table comfortably seats six; a 240cm table seats eight. Chairs with arms need a little more room and may not tuck fully under the table.

Timber or upholstered dining chairs — which is better?

Timber chairs are the more practical choice: durable, easy to wipe down and simple to repair. Upholstered chairs are more comfortable for long dinners but need a little more care. Many rooms mix both.
