Plain profile that wears well for years

Dining height or counter height

Black or brown, mix them deliberately

A plain chair that does not argue with the table it is pulled up to. That is a real requirement rather than a lack of ambition: chairs are bought in fours or sixes and lived with for years, and a strong profile that looked good in a photograph gets tiring in a small room. Plain wears better.

Two seat heights cover two different jobs. The 18-inch is standard dining height, for a normal table or a desk. The 30-inch is counter and bar height, for a kitchen island or a raised breakfast bar, which is the measurement people most often get wrong when buying online. Measure from the floor to the underside of your surface and allow around 10 to 12 inches of clearance above the seat.

Black or brown, so it either recedes against a dark floor or warms up against a pale one. Mixing the two across a table is a deliberate look rather than a mistake if you are buying for a mismatched set. It assembles without specialist tools. Felt pads on the feet will save a hard floor. Check the fixings after the first few weeks of use and again occasionally, since seat joints work loose faster than anything else on a chair.

A Chair That Does Not Argue

Chairs are bought in fours or sixes and lived with for years. A strong profile that looked good in a photograph gets tiring in a small room, which is why plain wears better than clever.

Counter height stools at a kitchen island

Two Heights, Two Different Jobs

The 18 inch is standard dining height, for a normal table or a desk. The 30 inch is counter and bar height, for an island or a raised breakfast bar. That is the measurement people most often get wrong buying online.

Black and brown dining chairs mixed around one table

Black Or Brown, Or Both

Black recedes against a dark floor, brown warms up a pale one. Mixing the two across one table is a deliberate look rather than a mistake, which helps if you are building a set over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which seat height do I need?

Measure from the floor to the underside of your surface and allow around 10 to 12 inches of clearance above the seat. The 18 inch suits a normal dining table or a desk; the 30 inch suits a kitchen island or a raised bar.

Will a plain chair look too basic?

Plain is the point rather than a compromise. You are buying four or six of these and looking at them every day for years, and a distinctive silhouette that charmed you in a photograph is the thing that tires first in a small room.

Can I mix black and brown?

Yes, and it reads as a decision rather than an accident because the profile is identical. It is a useful way to build a set over time, or to bring an odd chair into line with the rest of the table.

Will it mark a hard floor?

Add felt pads to the feet and it will not. Dining chairs are dragged rather than lifted several times a day, so pads are worth fitting on the same evening you build them rather than after the first scratch.

Does it need any upkeep?

Check the fixings after the first few weeks and occasionally after that. Seat joints work loose faster than anything else on a chair, and a minute with a screwdriver twice a year is what keeps one feeling solid for years.
