Need Help Choosing Chairs for Dining Table

6 years ago

I'm looking at getting this table, but really want upholstered chairs instead of the matching woods options. I really have no idea on how to find chairs that would go with table. Do I try to find ones with matching stain? Is there a certain element that would tie them together? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Beautiful table and I think fabric chairs are a perfect choice. With a fabric chair you usually have an exposed leg. You will never match the wood on the chair leg exactly so you just have to pay attention to the style and shade. This is a rustic table so do NOT choose a leg that is formal and polished. Something a bit more rustic and black or gray. There are many to choose from. From there choose a fabric that coordinates with the table surroundings.

You could also go with a skirted Parson's chair or the fabric chairs with exposed leg for the side chairs & a couple of skirted Parson's chairs for the host chairs. DesignMaster has a good selection of upholstered dining chairs & they specialize in them; good quality & reasonably priced. Their website is www.designmasterfurniture.com.

Take a tape measure when you are shopping. When your table is delivered, measure it with a tape measure. (Ads can be deceiving) Once upon a time, we fell in love with a dining room table, but not the chairs that coordinated with it, The actual table was taller than the dimensions listed. It took us over a year to find upholstered chairs that were the correct height for it. I realize that you and your cats are not in the market for upholstered chairs, but actual table height does matter,

Your color choices are almost endless and really depends on how you want it to feel. Your best bet may be to look at combinations on Pinterest. Just search dining rooms with greyish floors; here are a few different looks.

I have similar toned chairs with an RH zinc topped trestle table. The trestle base is a dark grey wood. I bought the chairs after the table and was a little concerned about the orangey faux (in my case) leather. They replaced more traditional velvet slip covered parsons chairs that were too heavily used by messy kids in the pandemic. In the end the orange isn’t an issue - it sort of blends right in.

I know that table!! I like it with slipcovered chairs. Love how the table pulls apart and the leaves come up.
