Dining Chairs

The standard seat height for a dining chair is between 45cm and 48cm. This pairs perfectly with standard Australian  dining tables  (75cm high), leaving 25cm to 30cm of legroom for optimal comfort. 

Protecting floors from dining chair scratches requires high-density felt pads or rubber floor protectors on the base of each chair leg. While many modern dining chairs include built-in plastic glides, adding adhesive felt protectors is the most effective way to reduce wear on timber or tiles. 

Choosing dining chairs with or without arms depends on your space. Armless dining chairs suit smaller rooms as they tuck fully under the table to maximise space. Armchair styles or carver chairs, provide superior support and are best suited for the ends of a rectangular dining table. 

Luxo Living dining chairs require minimal assembly to ensure safe transit. Most chairs include all necessary tools and take just 5–10 minutes to assemble. We also offer  professional assembly services  for Sydney-based customers looking for a completely stress-free setup. 

Mixing and matching dining chairs is a popular design technique to create a curated look. To maintain balance, ensure the dining chair seat height is consistent across all pieces or choose chairs that share a common element, such as  timber  materials or a similar colour palette. 

Dining chairs are available to buy in  sets of 2  or  4  for easy styling and better value. You can check individual product pages for set options or mix and match individual dining chairs to create a more eclectic, personalised look for your home. 

Comfortable dining chair styles typically feature upholstered seats,  padded backs  and armrests.  Velvet  and  bouclé  dining chairs are particularly plush choices for longer gatherings, combining high-end style with everyday ergonomic support. 

Durable dining chair materials include  timber ,  metal  and  reinforced plastic . For busy households, upholstered dining chairs with sturdy internal frames offer a balance of long-lasting strength and everyday comfort without sacrificing style. 

The number of dining chairs needed depends on your table size and shape. A  standard rectangular dining table  typically fits 6–8 chairs, while a  round dining table  comfortably fits 4–6 chairs depending on the diameter. Always measure your dining space and table length before purchasing to ensure a proper fit. 

Same-day delivery  for dining chairs is available for metro Sydney orders placed before the daily cutoff. Luxo Living also provides fast shipping for dining chairs across Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth to help you update your dining space quickly. 

Pro-Tip: Start with your dining table shape, colour palette and the mood you want to create. Curved silhouettes and textured fabrics bring a soft, designer feel, while clean-lined frames and streamlined profiles suit modern, minimalist spaces beautifully. Neutral tones offer effortless versatility, while deeper hues and metallic accents can add a more elevated statement.
