Chair Models and Prices: Choosing Seating for Your Dining Table
The chair is the most used piece of furniture in the home, yet often the last one we think about. The dining table is chosen, the colour is decided, and the chairs are bought with a "just match the table" attitude. But since it is a piece you sit on several times a day, the height, seat depth, upholstery fabric and frame material of a dining chair directly determine comfort. On this page you can find different seating solutions together, from upholstered dining room chairs to benches, poufs and rocking chairs. In the guide below, we have gathered the information that will help you choose, from size to material, from how many to buy to care.
Chairs in this category are sold individually; the price you see in the list is for one piece. If you would like to buy the table and chairs together as a matching set, kitchen table sets and dining room sets categories may be a more practical place to start.
Types of Chairs: Which Model to Use Where?
Chair models are roughly divided by where they are used and how they are built. Choosing the right type sorts out both size fit and everyday comfort from the start.
- Upholstered dining room chair: The seat, and usually the back, is filled with foam and covered in fabric. It is the most comfortable option for long dinners and when hosting guests. Velvet, nubuck and linen-look fabrics let it suit a range of styles.
- Kitchen chair with a wooden frame: These are simpler, lighter models that are easy to clean. They are often chosen around the kitchen table for everyday breakfasts and quick meals.
- Bench: A long seat with no back or a low back, where two or three people can sit side by side. Placed on one side of a table in place of a chair, it seats more people in less space.
- Pouf: It is a small, backless, easily movable seat. It can be used as extra seating at the dining table, as a footrest in the living room, or in front of the dressing table in the bedroom.
- Rocking chair: Designed not for the dining table but for a reading corner, living room or nursery. Its wide seat and curved legs make it a seat meant for relaxing.
Dining Table Chair Dimensions
The most common mistake when choosing chairs is falling for a model without taking the table height into account. A standard dining table is 74-77 cm high, and chair dimensions are set according to this value. Leaving a gap of 27-30 cm between the tabletop and the seat lets your legs fit comfortably and your arms reach the table at a natural height. The table below summarises the key measurements you should check when buying dining chairs.
| Size | Recommended value | Why does it matter? |
|---|---|---|
| Seat height (floor to seat) | 45-48 cm | With tables around 75 cm high, it gives comfortable knee room and arm angle. |
| The difference between a table top and a seat | 27-30 cm | Any less and legs feel cramped; any more and arms get tired. |
| Table width per person | 55-65 cm (60 cm for comfortable seating) | Lets you eat without elbows bumping side by side. |
| Seat width | 42-50 cm | A wider seat adds comfort, but fewer chairs fit at the table. |
| Seat depth | 40-45 cm | Lets your back reach the support without pressing behind your knees. |
| Between the table edge and the wall/furniture | At least 75 cm, ideally 90 cm | The space needed to pull the chair back and stand up. |
| The side with passage behind it | 100-110 cm | So that someone can walk comfortably behind a person who is seated. |
If you will use a bench, still allow 55-60 cm per person; a 120 cm bench seats two people comfortably and three people tightly. When buying a bench or pouf, make sure the seat height is close to that of the other chairs, otherwise one person at the table will sit noticeably lower than the rest. To determine the table size itself, dining table sizes you can check out the guide.
How Many Chairs Fit at a Table? Calculating for 4 and 6 Chairs
Dividing the table's long edge by 60 cm tells you how many chairs fit along that side. If chairs will also be used on the short ends, that edge needs to be at least 80-90 cm. Here is a practical guide for common table sizes:
- 80x80 cm square or 90 cm diameter round table: 4 chairs.
- 120x80 cm rectangular table: 4 chairs fit comfortably; 6 chairs are cramped if the short sides are used.
- 160x90 cm rectangular table: Seats 6 chairs comfortably.
- 180-200 cm table: 6-8 chairs; adding a bench on one of the long sides gives you extra flexibility.
If you are thinking of buying 6 chairs, measure your space too: a 160x90 cm table with six chairs needs an empty area of about 310x240 cm, including room to pull the chairs back. If space feels tight, using a bench on one side of the table instead of chairs saves room, since it can be pushed under the table when not in use. Besides size, what else you should look at when choosing a table what to look out for when buying a dining table you can find in detail in the article.
Choosing Material and Fabric
Frame: Solid wood, metal and others
The first factor that determines a chair's lifespan is its frame. Solid wood legs are the most popular choice for dining chairs, thanks to both their sturdiness and warm look; they come in walnut, oak or white finishes to suit different decors. Metal legs look slimmer and give modern kitchens an airy feel. Whatever the material, it is important that the leg joints are reinforced with screws and dowels so the chair does not wobble over time.
Upholstery fabric
Velvet gives a stylish look with its soft texture and deep colour, but it can hold dust, so it needs regular brushing. Nubuck and suede-look fabrics have a matte, warm feel and stand up well to daily use. Linen-textured fabrics add a natural, understated touch. In homes with children, stain-resistant or easy-to-wipe fabrics in mid-to-dark tones are practical. On some models the upholstery fabric can be changed, so years later you can refresh the same chair in a different colour.
Foam and seat
In upholstered chairs, the density of the seat foam determines comfort. Very soft foam feels comfortable at first sit but collapses over time; medium-firm, high-density foam keeps its shape for longer. In homes where long conversations around the table are common, an upholstered back as well as seat noticeably increases comfort.
Benches, Poufs and Rocking Chairs: Seating That Complements the Table
You don't have to surround a dining table with chairs alone. In recent years, putting a bench along one side of the table and a pouf in the corner as extra seating has become popular, because it makes for a more comfortable and friendlier table setting.
Bench, which is especially useful for tables placed against a wall: when not in use it slides completely under the table, freeing up extra space for children or guests at crowded meals. A bench with the same fabric and leg colour as the chairs gives a cohesive look, even when the two sides of the table are seated with different types of seating.
Pouf, is the most flexible seating solution. Because it is lightweight, it can be pulled up to the table when needed and then moved to the living room or bedroom. The seat height of square poufs is usually close to that of a chair, so they work well as temporary extra seating at the dining table.
Rocking chair is not for the dining table but for the home's relaxation corner. Placed by the window, next to the bookcase or in a nursery, it becomes both a functional and a decorative focal point. For models with wide fabric upholstery, remember to leave at least 50-60 cm of space at the back and front for the rocking motion.
Chairs by Style: Modern, Classic and Bohemian
The look of the chair sets the tone of your dining room decor. Modern in homes, models with slim legs, clean lines and single-colour upholstery stand out; grey, beige and anthracite fabrics blend easily with the colour of the table. Classic while the curved backs, walnut-toned wooden legs and plush velvet-like fabrics are preferred in the line.
Bohemian chair for those looking for it, the key words are natural textures: light-toned wood, linen or bouclé-feel fabrics, earthy colours and softly rounded forms. At a boho table, the chairs don't all have to be identical; mixing two different models in the same wood tone, or a chair with a bench, suits the relaxed spirit of this style. Still, don't forget the measurement rule: if different models are used side by side, the difference between their seat heights should not exceed 2-3 cm.
A practical rule for colour: if the table is dark, a light or mid-tone fabric on the chairs balances it; if the table is light, a dark or vivid upholstery works better. In dining areas that share space with the living room, linking the chair fabric to one tone of the sofa set keeps the space from looking fragmented.

Delivery, Payment and Care
HekaHome delivers and installs free of charge to every province of Türkiye from its stores and factory in Siteler, Ankara. You can also use instalment payment options for chair orders. Shipping abroad is possible too; in that case, the shipping fee is calculated separately.
A few simple habits are enough to make your chairs last a long time:
- Fit felt pads or protectors under the feet; they protect the floor from scratches and prevent the leg tips from wearing down.
- Don't rock the chair on its two back legs; this is the most common cause of loose joints.
- On upholstered models, blot spilled liquid with a dry cloth without rubbing; then wipe with a damp cloth suitable for the fabric.
- Brush velvet fabric regularly with a soft brush in the direction of the pile.
- Keep solid wood legs away from direct sunlight and from radiators; sudden temperature changes can cause colour variations and cracking in the wood.
- Check the leg connection screws once a year and tighten them if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cm should a dining table chair be?
For a dining table with a standard height of 74-77 cm, a chair with a seat height of 45-48 cm is suitable. What matters is keeping a 27-30 cm gap between the tabletop and the seat. Most people sit comfortably when the seat width is 42-50 cm and the depth is 40-45 cm.
Are chair prices per piece?
Yes, the chairs in this category are sold individually, and the price shown is for one piece. If you need a set of 4 or 6, you can work out the total by multiplying the product price by the quantity. If you would like a ready-made set with a table, take a look at the kitchen table sets and dining room sets categories.
How much space does a 6-seat table need?
A 6-seater table is usually around 160x90 cm. To let chairs be pulled back and people stand up, leave at least 75 cm on each side, ideally 90 cm. By this calculation, an area of about 310x240 cm allows comfortable use.
Which is more practical, a bench or a chair?
A bench is advantageous in narrow spaces and for large families, because it can slide completely under the table and seats more people when needed. Since it has no back support, a chair is more comfortable for long sittings. In many homes, putting a bench on one side of the table and chairs on the other sides meets both needs together.
Can a pouf be used at the dining table?
You can use a pouf whose seat height is close to that of chairs as extra seating at the dining table. Since it has no backrest, it is ideal for short-term use or for making extra room when guests arrive. Being able to move it to the living room or bedroom when not in use adds flexibility, too.
How do you clean upholstered chair fabric?
Blot spilled liquid immediately with a dry cloth, without rubbing. Then wipe with a slightly damp cloth suited to the fabric type and let it air dry. For velvet fabrics, regular brushing prevents the pile from flattening and keeps dust away.
Can different chair models be used at the same table?
Yes, especially in bohemian and eclectic decor, mixing different chair models is a popular approach. To keep things harmonious, make sure the seat heights are close to each other and that the wood tone or fabric colour shares a common thread.
Is delivery charged for chair orders?
Delivery and installation are free to every province in Türkiye. Instalment payment options are also available. Shipping abroad is possible, but in that case the shipping cost is calculated separately.
