Kitchen & Dining Chairs

Another important consideration should be what materials the   kitchen and dining room chairs are made of.    You have several main options, each of which conveys its own style and   function.

Wood

Choose a wooden chair if you prefer a classic, rustic, or timeless   style.  A wooden chair looks like the   furniture is handmade and a classic addition to any home.  It is common to find a chair in a variety   of woods, although rubber wood is a popular type of wood that is used in   chairs these days for its durability.

metal

It is also common to see metal chairs, often with slat backs.  Choose these for modern, casual or   industrial spaces.

Padded

If comfort is your top priority, choose a style of upholstery that   has pillows added frequently.  You   might be wondering if having kitchen and dining room chairs in an upholstered   style is a good idea as it might be easy to drop something and stain it.  

If stains are an issue, choose a fabric or chair that is rated as   stain resistant.  For example, it’s   common to find chairs upholstered in polyester, a durable fabric that can be   more stain resistant than velvet, for example.
