A Buying Guide For Chairs

As we stated in our intro, there’s a lot of different chairs available for people to consider, and unfortunately, there’s not a lot of information available on what to look for in these chairs. That’s why we’ve decided to write this buying guide, so you can get the help you need when looking for a new chair. Okay, let’s get started with some of the things that you’ll have to consider first, which is what style chair you actually need. And to figure out which style you need, you are going to have to figure out which room of your home the chair is going to reside.

Choosing Chairs by Room

Every room has a type of chair that’s particularly suited to it. This makes it easier for anyone to choose the right chair for their home from the 3-dozen or so different types available. However, that doesn’t mean that a chair suited for a particular room can’t be used in a completely different room. For example, there’s no reason why a dining room chair can’t be used in the living room. It’s not done very often, but it can be done. However, categorizing chairs into rooms does make it easier to narrow down the selection of chairs that a person has to choose from and makes the whole process more manageable.

• Living Room-Chairs that are often found in this category includes accent, wingback, contemporary round chairs, captain chairs, recliners,  bergère chairs, Lawson, captain, barrel, lounge, chesterfields,  and slipper chairs.
• Dining Room-Chairs in this category includes wishbone, modern ghost, and side chairs.
• Office Chairs-These chairs include reading chairs and desk chairs.
• Outdoor Chairs-These chairs include folding, beach, chaise lounge chairs, camping, hammock, and wicker chairs.

Chair Leg Style

One thing that most people don’t spend enough time thinking about is the leg pattern of chairs. Most people would be surprised to find out that there are at least 16 different types of leg styles. Some of the more common styles include the following:

• Double Scroll
• Single Scroll
• Turned Fluted
• Spade
• Reeded
• Reverse Scroll
• Tapered
• Adam Style
• Cabriole
• Baroque

Chair Construction

Chairs are also constructed with a particular material type. There are metal chairs, plastic chairs, wood chairs, cotton covered chairs, polyester upholstered chairs, and leather chairs. Taking into consideration the potential strengths and weaknesses of each material should be considered before purchasing any chair. For example, plastic chairs may be inexpensive, but they can also look cheap and be flimsy.

The Chair’s Seat

The seat is one of the most important aspects of the chair to feel. This part supports the person’s weight, so a well-designed seat can mean all the difference to the comfort of the chair. Below are a few things to consider when looking at a chair’s seat.

• Angle: The chair’s seat should be straight and hold the sitter’s thighs parallel to the floor.
• Height: Most chairs are approximately 16 to 18-inches high. However, if you are taller or shorter than average, then you may want to find a seat that’s higher or lower so that it fits your needs.
• Softness: Chair seats can be either hard or soft. Just keep in mind that hard seats can be uncomfortable for long periods of time and seats that are too soft may not offer the support your back needs.
• Width: Your particular body size will determine the width of the chair that you need to make it comfortable for you.
• Depth: Depth is another personal choice. However, if you suffer from bad knees or have other problems standing, then you may want to opt for a shallow depth seat.

Chair Back

Another thing to keep in mind is the chair back. Most chairs have one of two different types of backs—either hard or cushioned. Either type is useful, but ones with cushioned backs tend to offer more comfort over support and those with hardbacks tend to offer more support over comfort.

Dining room chairs are a whole different animal than most other types of chairs. That’s because they can come in a variety of different designs—more than you may know. Below are some of the more common chair back styles to choose from for dining room chairs.

• Chippendale
• Hepplewhite
• Rococo
• Renaissance Revival
• Ladder Back
• Stick Backs
