With so many dining room chair options to choose from, I created this handy shopping guide to help narrow down your selection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy shopping! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Size of Chair<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, the most important factor to consider when shopping for dining room chairs is size. You want to make sure the size of your chair fits with the size of your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/furniture\/dining-room\/c\/dining-tables?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=diningchairs&utm_content=diningroomtablehyperlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"dining room table (opens in a new tab)\">dining room table<\/a>. The three standard height for dining room tables are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dining Table Height – 30\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Counter Table Height – 36\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bar Table Height – 42\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve selected the height of your dining room table, look for chairs that match the size. For example, if you have a dining table height, you\u2019ll want to find chairs with a seat height between 25-30 inches. If you have a counter table, look for chairs with a seat height between 35-40 inches. For bar tables, you\u2019ll want to step up to stools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Many Chairs do I Need?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A good general rule of thumb is to allocate 24\u201d for each chair. So, if you have a table that\u2019s 72\u201d, you can fit three chairs on each side and one on each end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Style of the Chair<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know the size of your dining chair and how many you need, let\u2019s take a look at the style. I know farmhouse is super trendy right now so let\u2019s get right to that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Farmhouse<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text
