Leather Dining Chairs

What is a leather dining chair and why choose one?

A leather dining chair combines everyday comfort with a warm, timeless look. Leather is also easier to care for than many people think, which makes it genuinely practical at the dining table. The look depends on the type of leather: full grain leather is highly scratch resistant and keeps the natural hide structure, while a leather-look finish scratches more easily but is cheaper to replace. For a dining table used every day, a sturdier, scratch resistant leather is usually the sensible choice.

Sizing advice: height, comfort and arrangement

With a dining chair you mainly look at the seat height in relation to your table top, so your legs and arms sit comfortably. If you choose chairs with armrests, bear in mind that the arms have to fit under the table top when you push the chairs in. Chairs without armrests take up less room and are easier to place several in a row. For a flexible arrangement there are models on castors, handy if you move the chair often. Measure the length of your table to work out how many chairs fit comfortably around it.

Specification and made to measure

Many of our leather dining chairs are fully configurable. With brands such as HE Design, Haveco, Chill Line and Zitform you choose the leather type, the colour, the stitching finish, the base type and the metal colour yourself. That way your chair is made exactly as you want it, matched to your table and interior. Cognac or brown leather combines warmly with a natural or taupe wooden table, while anthracite leather balances beautifully with espresso or black wood.

Care: leather at the dining table

Leather is easier to look after than you might think. Wipe the chair regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Treat stains immediately, because the longer you wait the harder they are to remove: blot with a white cloth and do not rub. For deeper stains use a dedicated leather cleaner and avoid water or harsh cleaning agents such as acetone. Apply a suitable leather conditioner about once a year to keep the leather supple and nourished. Our advisers will happily tell you at purchase which product suits your type of leather best.
