Types of Dining Room Chairs

Every dining room needs to have dining room chairs. When choosing which ones work best for you, it’s important to keep in mind the style, functionality and comfort of the chair as you will often be sitting in it. Whether you want a matching set or would prefer to mix and match your chairs, learn about the fundamentals of dining chairs.

  • Parsons Chair – These often go on the side of the dining table and don’t have arms. It is completely upholstered.
  • Side Chair – These are similar to a parsons chair, but are often not completely upholstered and are usually made of solid wood, metal or plastic.
