Dining Chairs

Woven dining chairs in handwoven rattan, kubu rattan, woven seagrass and raffia, plus one upholstered design. Ten styles, most sold as a set of 2, in lattice back, curved back and cushioned seats. Free shipping on most items.

Seat height first, weave second. You want 10 to 12 inches between the seat and the underside of the table, which rules out more chairs than any style question will. Then pick the weave against the table you already own. Handwoven rattan reads open and honey toned and covers seven of the ten designs, the look most people mean by wicker dining chairs. Kubu rattan is darker and denser and holds its own against dark wood. Woven seagrass sits between them with a coarser, rope like surface.

For long meals, yes, and that is the trade. A padded seat is kinder after the second hour and harder to keep clean with children at the table. The Sloane Upholstered Dining Chairs are the padded option here. A cushioned woven seat such as the Edie Handwoven Rattan Dining Chair with Cushion splits the difference, since the cover lifts off for cleaning while the frame stays open.

Keep the seat height identical and let everything else differ. Two ends in one design and the sides in another is the easiest version, and pairing the Marietta Curved Back Handwoven Rattan Dining Chair with the Stacie Rattan Lattice Back Dining Chair works because both sit at the same height in the same fibre. Mixing across more than two designs usually needs a shared colour family to hold together.

The full room is in the dining collection, and how our rattan is sourced and certified covers the FSC® certified designs.

Allow 24 inches of table edge per person and about 36 inches of clearance behind each chair, so it can be pushed back and sat in without hitting a wall or a sideboard.

Seat height is typically 18 to 19 inches, which suits a 30 inch table. Measure your table first: the gap between seat and tabletop should land between 10 and 12 inches.
