Dining chairs do more for a room than most people realise. They are the piece that ties your dining room furniture together, and choosing them well makes a genuine difference.
After four decades helping Australians furnish their homes, we know the chair you pull up to your dining table is rarely the obvious one. Here is what actually matters.
Proper support comes down to seat height, seat depth, back angle, and cushioning. Seat height and depth affect your posture. A padded seat and a well-angled back keep you comfortable well past the main course.
Our Melbourne design team designs upholstered dining chairs for the way Australians actually eat, with longer meals and mixed household use in mind. For most homes, a well-cushioned upholstered chair with a supportive back is the most practical starting point.
Lifestyle and daily habits are the real deciding factor, not aesthetics alone. There is a strong case for every option in our range.
Here’s the breakdown, matched to how real households live:
A standard Australian dining chair seat sits between 45 and 48cm from the floor. The gap between seat height and your tabletop should be 25 to 30cm. Allow 55 to 60cm of table length per person, including on dining benches and bench seats.
For armchairs, check the arm height clears the table apron before buying. Bringing your table measurements to one of our 54 stores is the simplest way to test seat height and supportive backrests in person.
French provincial, mid-century modern, Scandinavian with woven accents, contemporary upholstered, and retro industrial are the five looks shaping Australian dining rooms right now.
A note on colour and where each one works best:
The most common mistake here is assuming everything must coordinate. Chairs do not need to match the table, and a complete set is not always the right approach. Sets of four or six suit formal or symmetrical rooms.
In relaxed spaces, white dining chairs and natural timber tones make the easiest mixing palette. Black dining chairs work as a confident accent against a neutral base. Early Settler's consistent design aesthetic makes mixing within the range a more natural starting point than shopping across multiple brands.
Every piece in our range includes a 12-month warranty, and regular upkeep takes a well-made piece well beyond its first year. Each material needs slightly different treatment.
For all upholstered dining room chairs, apply a fabric protector spray before first use. It takes minutes and makes a genuine difference to long-term stain resistance.
The range has something for every kind of dining room and every kind of household. Our dining sets, sideboards, bar stools, kitchen storage, and outdoor dining chairs are all worth browsing while you are here.
Before you go, it is worth knowing that Home Club is free to join and saves you 10% off full price items. New members also receive a $20 welcome voucher on purchases over $150 and access to member pricing on select pieces.
The number depends on your table length. Allow 55 to 60cm of space per seat along each side. As a rule, a 150cm table works well with four to six chairs, and a 180 to 200cm table with six to eight.
Well-made rattan dining chairs are genuinely durable. Tightly woven rattan on a solid frame holds up well to regular use. Keep it away from prolonged moisture and direct sun, and a well-sourced rattan chair will last many years in a dining room.
Armless dining chairs are the best fit for a round table. Without arms, they tuck in neatly and are easier to move in and out. A 100cm round table comfortably seats four, while a 130 to 150cm round table works well with six.
