About Dining Chair Society
Where are you based?
Queensland — and we deliver Australia-wide.
Do you only sell chairs?
Yes, by design. We're a specialist chair studio, focused on dining and occasional chairs so we can be genuinely particular about what we offer.
Choosing a chair
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 with comfortable clearance for your legs.
How many chairs fit around my table?
As a guide, allow roughly 60cm of table width per chair. A 180cm table comfortably seats six; a 240cm table seats eight. Chairs with arms need a touch more room.
Can I mix different chairs?
Absolutely — mixing timber and upholstered chairs, or pairing different styles at the ends of a table, is a lovely way to make a dining setting feel collected rather than matchy.
Can you confirm exact dimensions before I buy?
Yes. Contact us with the chair you're considering and we'll confirm measurements, usually the same day.
Ordering & delivery
How is delivery calculated?
Freight is calculated at checkout based on size and destination. Larger pieces ship via furniture freight and we'll arrange a delivery window. See our Delivery page.
Do the chairs arrive assembled?
Most arrive ready to use. If a chair needs light assembly, it's noted on the product page.
What's your returns policy?
New items can be returned within 14 days for change of mind, and faulty items are covered under Australian Consumer Law. One-of-a-kind pieces are sold as-is. Full details on our Returns page.
