Upholstered Dining Chairs

Upholstered Dining Chairs, Padded and Comfortable

An upholstered dining chair is the sit-a-while choice — a padded seat, and often a padded back, that cushions long dinners better than a hard wood seat. Covers are linen, boucle, velvet, chenille and vegan leather over dense foam, from $155.

Legs are solid wood and metal in natural, walnut, black and gold, with curved, barrel, wingback and skirted silhouettes. Colors run cream, beige, grey, green, navy, brown and tan, so the chairs match or contrast with the table.

Fabric seats are less spill-proof than wood or vegan leather — vacuum and spot-clean regularly. A performance weave or a wipe-clean vegan-leather seat holds up best in a busy dining room.
