Buying Guide

Comfort and safety come from sturdy materials and skilled craftsmen. Nowhere is this as important as in dining chairs. Heavy-duty dining chairs are built to sustain maximum weight and provide a non-wavering feel of steadfastness.

Commercial products can bring this distinct type of durability but residential chairs can offer more flexibility in style and materials.

  • Wood - Solid wood is one of the most dependable materials in manufacturing chairs. Hardwood holds a weight capacity of 300 pounds and is reinforced with metal and wood screws for support.
  • Upholstered - Different blends of fabric give a warm appearance and can be cushioned for comfort. Integrated with the style of the room, fabric can run from silks to leathers.
  • Metal - Metal chairs were once reserved for commercial use with a weight capacity of 500 pounds. However, new designs, such as industrial, have prompted manufacturers to offer the same substantial material for residential use. Metal can be powder coated to add different shades of color.
  • Polypropylene - Often referred to as molded plastic, polypropylene is anything but weak in stature. High-grade materials allow 250 to 300 pounds of weight to be used on these casual-looking chairs.
  • Rattan - Wicker dining chairs are more heavy-duty than you may realize. For instance, a Rattan Swivel Papasan chair can bear 300 pounds using a strong metal mechanism inside the base.
  • Swivel - Turning easily in heavy-duty dining chairs are a mark of quality. The same high-level mechanism that is found in office chairs is used in residential dining chairs for stability and durability.

Heavy-duty dining room chairs are made to carry substantial weight and along with this can the need for wider seats and solid backs. Chairs can range from 19" to 25" in seat width and feature tall backs for support. While arms are an added comfort, they can add limited capacity to the size of guests.

High backed upholstered dining chairs go well with traditional dining tables. Majestic in style, they are well built to match the true nature of the time period. More casual dining has emerged in recent years, making other materials more popular. The mixture of metal, wood and fabric complements a transitional scene. Chairs in casual dining settings, like chic or urban country, are just as important in being heavy-duty as those in formal dining. Always check the manufacturer's details for weight limit and materials used in construction before relying on looks alone. Heavy-duty dining chairs are only as good as the materials used.

Wood and metal can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Vacuum and spot clean upholstered fabric. If arms are present, clean with mild detergent and water, occasionally, to remove any body oil build-up.
