This set comes with two chairs. Each chair features a seat upholstered in cream polyester blend fabric and a solid wood frame. The traditional look of them is accentuated by the charming diamond tufted backs, nailhead trim, and flared legs. As well as these features, the wingback style means they’re good for narrower spaces, too. Each chair can support 300 lbs.

What We Like: Lots of color choices

Not So Good For: Traditional homes

You’re sure to find your perfect pick with this unique set due to the nine color choices, which range from fire engine red to antique black. Including four chairs, this set has got you covered for the morning breakfast rush. Each chair is made from heavy-duty steel and can support up to 300 lbs. Additionally, they can be stacked for easier storage. They have a slightly retro look because of the open back and curved legs.

What we like: High weight capacity; stackable

What we don’t: Very minimalistic design; no cushions

The Norma Cross Stacking dining chair proves you don’t have to sacrifice style for durability.

Supporting up to 400 lbs., these chairs are stackable, allowing you to store them in a stack up to eight chairs high. Whether you need this chair for your home or business, this bistro-style dining chair has a rich oak and mahogany style.

Though the chair has a lightweight construction, it is both highly durable and stable. To protect your floors against scratches, the feet have plastic glides.

What we like: Farmhouse-style dining chairs complement shabby-chic aesthetic

What we don’t: No seat cushions included

These Eleanor farmhouse-style dining chairs are built on rubberwood frames and are perfect for the homeowner interested in shabby-chic décor options. Available in seven colors, these rustic chairs have X-shaped seat backs, increasing the chair’s strength and support.

The contoured seat increases user comfort, while the 250 lbs. weight capacity can accommodate a wide variety of friends and family.

What we like: European farmhouse aesthetic and sturdy frame

What we don’t: Polyester fabric upholstery isn’t as luxurious as other options

With a nod to rustic French and Italian design, this set of farmhouse-inspired chairs has a distressed look resembling refinished wood, giving it an authentic style. Made from a combination of solid and manufactured wood, the chairs are upholstered in a polyester fabric blend for comfort and easy cleaning. 

The smooth wooden armrests provide extra support after a long day, and the high back supports your neck and shoulders. The high-quality materials and premium craftsmanship ensure that these heavy duty dining room chairs can hold up to 300 lbs.

What we like: Decorative and sturdy

What we don’t: Only suitable for farmhouse or rustic interiors

This set of two dining chairs is perfect for a rustic aesthetic, complementing farmhouse décor in either your kitchen or dining room. Made from a combination of solid rubberwood and manufactured wood featuring cathedral hickory veneers, these chairs are upholstered in foam-stuffed linen fabric for your comfort and supported by cabriole legs.

If you’re looking for a stylish dining chair set in a neutral color palette, this model has a black and dark brown finish, distressed for that vintage vibe. These chairs also have a 24” Queen Anne back, conveying an antique sensibility at an affordable price.

The heavy-duty construction can accommodate up to 300 lbs.

What we like: Solid mango wood

What we don’t: Armless design provides less support

This multipurpose, two-piece rattan wicker chair set is suitable for your den or dining room, appealing to the rustic aesthetic. Available in a neutral light gray finish, this chair can complement various décor choices and paint colors.

The solid-wood legs can support up to 250 lbs. The armless, straight-back design allows the chair to sit deeper under the dining table for a more compact dining setting footprint, ideal for a small dining area.

These chairs arrive fully assembled for your convenience, and cleaning simply requires vacuuming or light brushing.

What we like: One of the strongest chairs on the market

What we don’t: No cushioning for the seats included

One of the most heavy-duty dining chairs available, this product has a versatile design that can appeal to most tastes, from the contemporary and industrial to the classic. 

This bistro-style chair has a powder-coated steel frame, increasing its corrosion and abrasion resistance, protecting it against impact and weather. The drain holes in the seat also accelerate drying when left in the rain, so you can safely use these chairs outdoors without worrying about them rusting or collecting moisture. 

For easy storage, these chairs are designed to be stackable. However, the plastic caps on the cross brace ensure that stacking won’t mar the chair’s finish.

But the most important feature of these weather-resistant bistro chairs is their weight capacity. Unlike most models on the market, this chair can support up to 500 lbs. — making it an extra strong dining chair option for plus-sized individuals. 

What we like: Modern, sleek look

What we don’t: Does not come with seat cushions

If you prefer a more industrial, modern look, this four-piece set of stackable dining chairs is made from heavy-duty steel. For added structural strength, each chair has an X-brace on the underside of the seat. These sturdy dining room chairs can support up to 265 lbs., despite the lightweight design. 

Chair feet can scratch or gouge hardwood floors, requiring resurfacing. These chairs have rubber foot pads to prevent scratches. The added traction means your dining chairs won’t slide on smooth surfaces, remaining stationary and safe. 

While assembly is required, it’s simple. The company provides all hardware and instructions with the set. 

What we like: French Quarter–inspired cast aluminum construction is attractive

What we don’t: Can only support 250 lbs.

For the homeowner who needs to add some French Quarter-inspired design to their patio, this two-piece set of cushioned and stackable dining chairs are made from cast aluminum. Featuring beautifully crafted scrolls that extend from the arms to the backs, this set displays a high degree of professional craftsmanship.

The aluminum frame has a powder-coated finish to protect the metal base from corrosion. The powder-coated finish is also resistant to chipping and fading, so leaving the chairs in direct sunlight won’t damage the exterior.

The included cushions contain porous open-cell foam cores. Because water can pass through the core, the cushions dry easily, preventing moisture from collecting.

What we like: Polywood is durable, weather-resistant, and environmentally friendly

What we don’t: Wood-like plastic isn’t authentic

This outdoor patio dining chair is made from Polywood; a proprietary polymer composite made using recycled materials from landfills and the ocean. Designed to resemble teak wood in appearance and texture, the Polywood construction is water, UV, and mildew resistant, and won’t crack, warp, chip, or fade.

Additionally, the hardware is designed to resist corrosion, so no part of the chair build will rust. The folding design is convenient for transport, and the weight capacity is 300 lbs. They are easy to clean and maintain; all you need is soap and water. No assembly is required.

What we like: Subtle design; linen-cotton blend upholstery

What we don’t: The seat padding is too thin

A durably constructed kitchen and bar stool that can also serve as a dining chair, this piece of furniture is beautifully crafted using solid acacia wood. The cushion is upholstered using a linen-cotton blend (30% linen, 70% cotton). The stool’s cross braces provide additional strength while also serving as a footrest.

While not height adjustable, the stool is versatile and can accommodate up to 275 lbs. The stool also has felt pads on the four feet to protect your floors against scratches while also preventing the stool from sliding.
