Been shopping for dining room chairs lately? If the huge variety of types available on the market has you a little confused, you're not alone. Some versions are fancy, others are more formal and functional. Your best strategy may be to combine the two, and opt for a set which is stylish as well as affording a good degree of comfort. This is especially important if you entertain frequently, or if you have a large family. Let's start narrowing things down by discussing a few of the types you'll likely meet on your shopping adventures: upholstered, wood, and wing backs.
Wingbacks may have an "oriental" appearance or style, whereas the wood types can be very versatile. Upholstered types serve a number of audiences as many pieces come under this category. When shopping for any chair it is best to keep the shape and color in mind, with a eye to what type of décor it will need to complement. For example, choosing a dark cherry piece to go with a light wood kitchen surface probably wouldn't be the wisest choice. Similarly, placing a steel structured upholstered piece in an elegant space with wood furniture can look a bit jarring as well.
Wood pieces are available in a range of colors, depending on both the wood type and the finish. Pink and oak are probably the most common materials you'll find. Oak is durable and quite strong, and can cost a bit more; but if you consider that you'll probably keep an oak set for a long time, the savings may offset the original price.
