Dining Chair Guide: Size, Back Height, and Material

Quick answer: Pick a dining chair by overall size, back height, and material, and leave enough room to pull it out from the table. Mirodemi's dining chairs range from about $437 to $2,258.

Sizes at a glance

The Nordic Iron Desk Stool Dining Chair is the compact one: 42 x 53 cm and 85 cm tall, with a metal frame, in orange, gray, black, blue, white, charcoal, or mustard, on black or gold legs. The Modern Minimalist Fabric Dining chair is 61 x 58 cm and 75 cm tall, and the Light Luxury Postmodern chair is 53 x 59 cm and 80 cm tall, with a metal frame and cashmere upholstery.

For larger seats, the Modern Minimalist Beige/Orange chair is 60 x 52 cm and 72 cm tall, in genuine leather. The Nordic Style Dining Chair with Backrest Stool is the largest at 66 x 63 cm and 78 cm tall with a 53 cm seat.

Choosing the right one

A common guideline is to leave about 25–30 cm between the seat and the underside of the table so legs fit comfortably. Lower, rounder backs feel relaxed at a casual table; taller backs suit longer dinners. Leather wipes clean easily, while fabric and cashmere feel softer.

What to check before ordering

  • Back height. The Nordic Iron chair has a 40 cm back, which is lower than the other options.
  • Overall width. Multiply by the number of chairs and check your table length.
  • Material. Leather and cashmere cost more than the metal and fabric options.

FAQ

It works for most homes, though leather is easier to wipe after spills.

Two shades from the same family usually look intentional.
