When choosing a chair, the size is always the most important factor, especially when purchasing for family members, it is necessary to consider not only the needs of each person but also the overall unity and beauty of the furniture.
1. Standard Chair Dimension
Let’s take the dining chair as an example:
Since the height of the dining table is usually between 28.3-30.7 inches. For this reference, the recommended chair height is between 18-23 inches and the recommended width is between 16-20 inches.
The height of the chair back is 12-23 inches. But before determining the size of the chair back, you must find your needs and preferences. A high chair back is good for supporting the head, and a low back can support the shoulders. Only the height that makes your body comfortable is the most suitable. As for the width of the chair back, it is generally between 13-15 inches.

*The above is the popular chair size standard, suitable for ordinary adults and daily use.
In addition, the size of the chair will vary according to the occasion of use and the user. If it is a chair for children, the size is generally 17.7*17.7*9 inch. If it is a chair specially used for bars, the height is generally 28-30.
2. What To Consider When Buying Chairs：
2.1 Chair Seat Height
The seat height of the chair should be similar to the length of your calf. When you sit on the chair, your calf should naturally droop, and the soles of the feet should just fall on the ground.
If it's too high, then your calf will hang in the air, and after a long time, the calf will feel uncomfortable.
If it's too low, then the thighs will not be able to be placed on the seat surface of the chair, only the buttocks are used to support your weight, which will also cause discomfort after a long time.
2.2 Chair Seat Width
The seat depth of the chair should generally be as long as your thigh, and the knee bend should be just on the edge of the chair. If the seat is too deep, there will be no support for your waist. If the seat depth is too shallow, your thigh support will be not enough, and you will feel uncomfortable after a long time of use.
