Chairs For Every Room

Chairs For Every Room — Chosen For The Hours In Them

A chair is judged by its seat: about 18 inches high for a 30-inch table, deep enough to sit back without the edge pressing the knees. Looks decide the first week; the seat decides the next ten years. Sit-time is the spec that matters most.

Dining And Office — Chairs You Sit Up In

Pull up a dining chair sized to the table, or work from an office chair whose back holds the lower spine through a long day. Upright chairs are judged by the hour, not the minute.

Accent, Lounge And Rocking — Chairs You Sink Into

Finish a corner with an accent chair, stretch out in a lounge chair, or settle into a rocker that swivels or glides. The deeper the seat, the slower the evening.

Folding — Chairs That Travel

Carry a folding chair to the game or the shore; a steel frame and a cup holder matter more than the colour.
