Chairs and chair arms should be able to slide under your dining table with ease, but they also must have comfortable lap and leg room when guests are sitting in them. Most dining tables are about 30 inches high. Chair height is generally 18 inches (from the floor to the seat).Rules of ThumbAllow 12 inches between the seat of your chair and your tabletop.Leave 7 inches between the chair arm and the bottom or apron of the table. The average dining chair width is 16-20 inches. If dining chairs are placed right next to each other with no space between them, people will bump elbows when eating. Because of that, add 6 inches to each chair's width to accommodate the spaces between them. You'll also want to make sure there is enough room behind your dining chairs for people to slide out easily. Rules of ThumbProvide each guest 24-30 inches at the dining table.For rectangular tables, add an extra 12 inches at each end for those seated at the head and foot of the table.Allow for at least 36 inches between the dining table and any walls or other furniture.
Measure your chairs at their widest point. Depending on the style of the chair, this can mean either the seat or the chair back. Arms will usually add about 6 inches to the overall width of a single dining chair. If space is limited, you may opt for armless dining chairs or only use dining chairs with arms at the head and foot of the table to conserve space.Cushions GliderRocker CushionsGlider RockerGlider ReplacementReplacement CushionsBoard Baby SGrain FabricBaby ChooseNavy WoodForwardThese glider/rocker cushions in navy wood grain fabric will finish off the nursery and give you a comfy spot for those quiet moments with baby!

If a designer asks you to “make the splat wider”, you don’t want to waste your time trying to widen a drop of paint. For chairs, this was a little tricky trying to distill down all the general parts.
Not all chairs have all the parts. Some parts are only specific to certain styles or time periods. Various people refer to similar parts by different names; in some contexts, they can be synonyms, while in others, they might have slightly different definitions. I’ve tried to exclude terminology which describes styles of parts. So while I defined a “leg”, I haven’t included a “cabriole leg”. You can refer to the drawing above as well as the one below when looking at the definitions. At the end of today’s post, I’ve included a full-size drawing of both diagrams together at a higher resolution so you can print it out and hang it up. apron – the strips that run between the legs and connects to the surface (seat) arm or armrest - part that supports your elbow and forearm arm support – generalized term for the upright piece which supports the arm back rail - rails specific to the seat back back upright – synonym for “stile” corner bracket – item which connects two members for added support and structure
cresting - ornamental topping, usually set in the center of the top of a chair-back cresting rail – rail which contains the cresting, aka top rail ear - small projecting member or part of a piece or structure, either decorative or structural foot - bottom of the leg headpiece - another word for “top rail” or “headrest”. With cresting, can be called “cresting rail” leg - support for the chair lower rail – lowermost rail of the seat back manchette (arm pad) – upholstered patch or cushion on an armrest mid rail – rail close to the vertical center of the seat back rail – horizontal bar (of the back) seat – the piece you set your bum on seat back – general term encompassing the whole back of a chair, from the seat on up seat rail – a synonym for the apron, or a single piece of the apron shoe - a piece that sits on the back seat rail and holds the bottom of the splat, allowing easy replacement of a broken splat without disassembling the whole chair
