The right chair depends on the room. Accent armchairs anchor a living room; dining chairs need to be comfortable for an hour or more; desk chairs prioritise back support; occasional chairs can lean into pure style.

A kid’s chair scales down everything but the build quality. Browse our broader range of dining chairs and sets when seating is for meals.

Chair comfort, scale and fit

A seat height of 45 to 47cm works for most adults and is generally the height you’ll find on most chairs. Armchair seat depth of 50 to 55cm suits average builds, while deeper seats feel lounge-like but can be harder to enjoy for shorter sitters.

For visitor seating that stacks, our visitor and stackable chairs pack away neatly when not in use.

Seating options for specific uses

For long screen sessions, our gaming and office chairs add lumbar and neck support. For outdoors, rattan outdoor chairs bring weatherproof texture, and a hanging chair or hammock adds a relaxed corner anywhere there's a strong ceiling beam or tree.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right armchair size?

Measure your doorway first to make sure you can fit a new chair through, then aim for a chair around 80 to 90cm wide. Oversized armchairs go up to 110cm wide. Beyond that, you’re mostly looking at features such as reclining or materials.

What's the standard chair seat height?

45 to 47cm for dining and accent chairs; 50 to 52cm for kitchen-bench seating; 60 to 65cm for stools for a standard kitchen counter or island; 75 to 80cm for bar stools at raised bar heights.

Are stackable chairs comfortable?

Modern stackable chairs are designed for at-the-table comfort over an hour or more. They're not lounge chairs, but they handle a long dinner fine.

What's the most durable chair material?

Solid hardwood frames offer long-term durability, while steel and aluminium provide heavy-duty strength with a sleeker feel. For upholstery, opt for tightly woven performance fabrics - like polyester - or leather, which are designed for stain resistance and high-traffic use.

Can I mix chair styles around a table?

Yes, mixing chairs is a popular look. Keep one element consistent like seat height or colour to tie them together.
