Vinyl or fabric is the first call. 118 upholstered chairs sit in this group, 97 with a padded back and 38 with arms. Pick the seat material for how your closing shift cleans, then ask for a swatch before you order.

Vinyl, fabric and the closing wipe

A vinyl seat is listed on 119 chairs here, a fabric seat on 59 and wood on 7. Vinyl and fabric clean differently, so ask whoever closes the shop which one they'd rather face at 9 PM.

Upholstery options appear on 96 chairs. Color lists shift from season to season. If these chairs join a room that is already open, get a new swatch first and compare the shade before anything is ordered. Free swatches ship by UPS Ground. Upholstery outside the listed options turns the chair into a custom item, which takes longer and is final once confirmed.

Frames, heights and footprint

Frames split into metal on 44, aluminum on 34, wood on 14, aluminum with a wood look on 13, metal with a wood look on 8 and steel on 5. Where seat height is listed it runs from 18 to 20 inches, and 18 3/4 inches is the most common on 26 chairs. A 17 to 19 inch seat suits a table about 29 to 30 inches high.

Depth decides the aisle. Four examples measure from 19 1/4 to 24 1/4 inches deep, and a metal dining chair at 17 1/2 by 19 3/4 inches is one of the examples. Behind every chair, guests need 18 to 24 inches to push back, and a service aisle wants about 36.

What to compare on the page

Styles run mostly to upholstered backs, 102 of them, with 14 bucket shapes. Twenty-four stack. Seven carry a BIFMA listing on their product pages. None is listed for patio use, so keep these indoors; 100 list indoor use. Prices range from $88 to $389.

Read these four lines on every candidate:

  • Seat height, in inches.
  • Width and depth of the footprint.
  • Whether the back is padded.
  • Which upholstery options the page offers.

Pick two finalists, order a swatch of each, and set them on the counter next to the window at 9 AM. Daylight tells you more than a screen does.
