The appropriate number of chairs around your dining table depends on a number of factors:
- The desired space for pleasant dining
- Dining room chairs with or without armrest
- The size of the dining table and the space around it
The desired space for dining
We recommend reserving 70 centimeters per person to be able to sit comfortably at the table. A dining room chair is often 45-50 centimeters wide. Of course, you also want to be able to hang your arms along the chair and have some personal space. 70 centimeters is the ideal size for anyone who wants to dine comfortably.
Do you choose dining room chairs with or without armrests?
Do you want to reserve less than 70 centimeters for each person? That is also possible of course! We then recommend that dining room chairs without armrests to purchase. Dining room chairs without armrests save a lot of space. Maybe eventually there will even be an extra chair at your dining table!

The desired space around your dining table
When placing your dining table, also consider the space around it. It is very annoying if you have too little space when sitting down and getting up. When the dining room table is parallel to the wall, we recommend that you reserve 60 centimeters around your dining room chair without walking space all around. Do you want to have more walking space around? Then take 120 centimeters into account.
Don't have much space around your dining table and chairs? Then consider one dining room sofa. A dining room bench takes up less space and offers plenty of seating. Ideal for a family with young children! The sofa can be placed practically against the wall without reducing your seating comfort.
