Before you buy a dining chair, consider this: you need this chair to be both comfortable and stylish. Comfortable, because a dining table is where people gather around to eat, work, and have conversations. Stylish, because you want it to look good and reflect your style. Consider also that you will be choosing from a dizzying variety of styles, materials, colors and brands.But when it actually comes to choosing and then buying a dining room chair, it boils down to only a few factors. Once you've made a decision about these, it's relatively easy to pick out the one that's best for you.Maybe size often gets neglected because it is the least glamorous part of the furniture buying process. However, this cannot be stressed enough: before you even go looking for dining chairs, determine the size you will need. For this you have to consider the size of the room, and the room around your table.You also have to figure out where you will place any extra chairs, if your table is not fully extended all the time.
Measure your room and dining table to see the size and number of chairs you can accommodate in your dining room and around your dining table. (I do hope you have picked out a dining table before you go looking for chairs.) Remember to calculate the space between chairs, as well as the actual space a dining chair will occupy, before you pick a size. Do not forget to factor in that it will need additional space when pulled away from the table. It is entirely up to you to determine whether your dining chairs have arms or not. It has been customary to have armchairs at the head of the table, and armless chairs on the sides, but depending on your space and decorating style you can choose to have armchairs all around.Depending on your space and style you may also want to go armless all around. Armless dining chairs do take up less space than armchairs, visually as well as in the actual space you have.Armchairs can be more comfortable than armless ones. For older people, or those with problem knees, arms on a chair help in getting in and out of the seat.
Choose according to who usually dines at your dining table.You can go and pick out a dining room set, or decide to buy your dining table and chairs separately. Before you do either of those things, consider your style. Consider whether you want it to be formal or informal.There are open back chairs and there are chairs with solid backs, both upholstered or in metal, wood or acrylic. Look at the angles that make up the back, legs and arms and seats, and determine what looks good in your room and around your table. A smaller space might call for a more delicate, open style, while a large space might look good with larger more well defined shapes.More than anything it is about scale.It is hard to define what will feel comfortable to you, because everyone has different comfort priorities. Sit on a chair to see how it feels. Is the seat comfortable and wide enough? How does the back feel when you lean back against it? Is the seat too high or too low? If the seat is upholstered there should be adequate padding so that you do not feel the frame through it.
In short, the chair should feel comfortable to sit upon, especially if your dining room also doubles as your home office.The material of your dining chair is important, as it also determines its look and feel.Before you buy your dining chair make sure you judge for quality.At first, leather seems simple. It's just cow hide (or some other type of animal). But when you start looking for quality leather dining chairs there's a lot to consider. All leather is not created equal and if you're going to pay a premium for genuine leather you should ensure you're getting the best. Why are you choosing leather? What made you pick leather over vinyl or even a traditional fabric? one of the following reasons? To ensure you all these benefits you need to make sure you get the right type of leather. What should you look for? You have 3 basic choices: Which one is the best? It really depends on the application, but at Carrington Court we've decided to go with Aniline.
Full aniline leather can only be made for the best hides. The reason behind this is simple: since there is no pigment added, all imperfections are visible. Semi-aniline and pigmented leathers cover up imperfections with paint. You may be wondering what is wrong with covering up imperfections. When you add pigment it makes the leather stiffer--negating the suppleness that many prize. It also takes away some of the natural character. pigmented it is, the harder it is to tell from vinyl. As aniline ages it increases in beauty like a well-worn bomber jacket or wallet. The downside of aniline is price. Since aniline leather requires the best hides, it costs more. One other factor to consider is the leather grain. You'll want to get a dining chair with top-grain leather. Top-grain is the leather that comes from the desirable outer surface of the hide. Leathers that come from inner surfaces all called "split grain" and they are much weaker and less resilient.
