Wooden Chairs
Wooden Chairs
A perfect combination of durability and timeless style - wooden chairs are a nice addition to modern and traditional-inspired dining rooms. With our wide selections of models with armrests, low or high back in various wood shades, you will find a piece that meets your needs and suits your interior.
How to choose the right wooden chair?
Consider your overall room style when you're shopping for a wooden chair. Modern and minimalist spaces may benefit from smooth, sleek wooden chairs with clean lines and a light finish, while rustic or cottage interiors look great with chairs that have a more natural grain or a darker stain. As a general principle, try to match the finish or tone of your new chairs with other wooden pieces already in the room - it does not need to be an exact match, but keeping the wood tones in the same family creates a more considered result.
What types of wood are best for chairs?
The most common wood used in our chairs is rubberwood - a dense, fine-grained hardwood that is both affordable and very durable. It takes stains and paints well, which is why it appears in so many colour options. Acacia is another popular choice: it has a distinctive grain pattern with natural colour variation that makes each piece slightly unique, and it is notably hard and resistant to everyday wear. Beechwood is prized for its smooth, consistent grain and is often used in classic or Scandinavian-style designs - it finishes beautifully and holds its shape reliably over time. For a more rustic or characterful look, chairs made from solid pine offer a lighter, warmer aesthetic at a more accessible price point, though pine is a softer wood and more prone to denting than the hardwood options.
How to care for and maintain wooden chairs?
Wooden chairs require regular care to keep them looking their best. Dust them frequently and wipe down with a damp cloth to remove everyday grime. For chairs with a natural wood finish, use a wood polish or wax every few months to maintain the surface and restore any lost shine. If your chairs are used in an outdoor or semi-outdoor setting, treat them with a protective sealant to guard against moisture damage. In general, avoid exposing wooden chairs to prolonged direct sunlight - it causes fading and can dry out the wood over time - and keep them away from excessive moisture, which leads to warping and swelling.
What extra features can you find in wooden chairs?
Wooden chairs offer more variety than their traditional image might suggest.
- Adjustable backrests are available on some models, allowing the angle to be tailored for comfort.
- Foldable designs are ideal where storage space is limited or chairs need to be put away between uses.
- Armrests add a sense of ease and are particularly welcome if the chair is used for longer sittings, not just quick meals.
- Many models also come with removable seat cushions that add padding without changing the overall profile of the chair.
- Protective floor caps on the legs help prevent scratches on hardwood or tiled floors.
