5 Mistakes People Make When Buying Dining Room Chairs (And How to Avoid Them)
You don't buy a dining room chair for just a few months. It's a piece of furniture used daily during dinners, long evenings spent dining, or even working from home. Yet, we see many people making the same mistakes when choosing their chairs.
At Label F, we're happy to help you make the right choice. These are the 5 most common mistakes and how to avoid them.
1. Only look at design (and not at comfort)
A chair may look beautiful, but if you don't sit on it comfortably, you'll soon regret it.
Therefore, always pay attention:
-
Seat height (does this fit your table?)
-
Seat depth (not too deep, not too shallow)
-
Backrest (lower back support)
-
Arm height (can the chair slide under the table?)
Our chairs combine design with everyday comfort, so you can sit comfortably for hours.
2. Choosing the wrong dimensions
Many people measure their table but forget to take into account the space between the chairs.
Guideline:
-
Allow for a minimum width of 60 cm per chair
-
Keep 10–15 cm space between chairs
-
Also measure the height under the table top
This prevents the whole thing from looking too cramped.
3. Underestimating the material
The fabric determines not only the appearance, but also the maintenance.
At Label F we work with strong, durable fabrics that are suitable for:
-
Intensive use
-
Families
-
Hospitality environments
A light color conveys tranquility and luxury. Taupe creates warmth. Green adds character and depth to your interior.
4. Not taking your interior style into account
Does the chair fit:
-
Your floor?
-
Your table top?
-
Your enlightenment?
-
The rest of your furniture?
A modern swivel chair looks great in:
-
Minimalist interiors
-
Japandi style
-
Hotel chic settings
-
Modern catering
- Scandinavian style
By choosing one statement model, you create tranquility and radiance.
5. Buying too cheap (and having to buy again later)
Cheap can be expensive, especially with chairs that are used daily.
NB:
-
Frame construction
-
Seat filling
-
Finishing the fabric
-
Stability of the chassis
A quality chair will last for years and retain its appearance.
