Antique collectors know that people were shorter in the 19th century because furniture was smaller. A 100-year-old chair at a modern dining table would place your chin embarrassingly close to your plate. “Knee space” at table is not just for knees; it positions a diner comfortably relative to the tabletop and the food. Standard Heights Modern standard height for a dining room table is 30 inches. A standard dining chair seat is 18 inches tall, making the distance between the top of the chair and top of the table 12 inches. Depending on the thickness of the table or presence of an apron, this would leave 8 to 10 inches of actual knee space between the chair seat and table bottom.
When mixing antiques or styles, try to match this gap for your diners' comfort. Other Considerations Standard tables and chairs are not the only suites used in modern dining areas. "Bar tables" for informal dining might rise as high as 42 inches tall, in which case you'd want chairs with 30-inch high seats. Regardless of the height of your table, a formal table linen drop -- the distance that a tablecloth falls over the edge of the table -- matches the knee space of the pair: 8 to 12 inches. A longer drop or closer knee space would make movement to and from table awkward. /Buying-Guides/How-to-Choose-the-Right-Size-Dining-Chairs-E568Tournesol Gifts: Finding the Right Size Tablecloth for Your Rectangle TableclothTotal Table: Tablecloth Measurements Photo Credits Thomas Northcut/Photodisc/Getty Images Suggest a CorrectionIron ChevronChevron SeatApron IronChair ApronDining SpaceHollywood RegencyCharlestonOnekingslaneApronsForwardBest way to change up the look of your dining space!

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
