The Ideal Scales of Dining Chairs for Comfort

Seat Height
 

Proportion and scale set the standard for a comfortable home. It’s important to note that that the dining table and dining chairs go together in height and comfort. For perfect ergonomics, the standard height of the dining chair seat to the tabletop should be 28 cms. These days, the standard height of dining tables is around 76 cms and for the majority of chairs, the standard chair seat from the floor is around 48 cms high that makes it easy to achieve 28 cms. 

Space Between Chairs
 

Besides compatible height, width is also important, or else, your diners won’t feel comfortable. Most dining chairs available have a width of around 41 to 51 cms.
