Swivel Dining Chairs
Dining chairs don't slide well on carpet, and heavy dining chairs are hard to move from a seated position. For this dilemma, we suggest swivel dining chairs. They are attractive and will pair well with your dining table, as well as offering the person sitting the option to get out of their seat without adding stress to the chair's legs, or personal frustration.

Buying Guide
Emily is a young, talented designer, whose professional interests gravitate towards kitchen and dining spaces. She prides herself on her attention to detail, obsession with functionality, and appreciation for craftsmanship.
If you are tired of chairs scraping across your floor, swivel dining chairs might be the answer. Instead of the chairs needing to be pulled out and pushed in, simply turn the chair to the side, sit and turn it back to the table. Want to face the person seated beside you? Just swivel the chair instead of moving the whole thing. Beyond that, these chairs are beautiful and come in many different styles.
Aruba II Telescope Chair
If mealtime is also your break and relaxation time, you will love Aruba II. An easy to clean cloth cushion will allow you to lounge and read while munching on a sandwich and sipping a soft drink. (Lounging with soup isn’t recommended unless you have a cup with a straw.) The iron tubular frame holds the plastic “springs” securely, adding to seated comfort. Low-rise arms allow resting your elbows, so no worries about where to put them.
Strathwood Rawley Ventilated Rocker
Love to munch and rock? Try the Strathwood Rawley swivel rocker. The mesh back allows good airflow, making it a super choice for summer seating. The seat is stretched canvas that is secured at both edges. An alternative rocker is the St. Catherine model, with a single continuous slingback for backrest and seat.
Rockers also come in various wicker weaves allowing you to mix and match them with other wicker furniture you might have on hand.
Chantilly Fun Chair
The Chantilly fun chair is a swivel chair, but you might want to think twice about putting it outside, or even exposing it to the risk of food stains. Soft white seat and back are shaped as wedges cut out of a sphere. Add this seat to your modernistic or even futuristic décor for both comfort and a conversation piece.
Plastic mesh and metal can be put together to make an attractive lawn grouping, especially when the swivel chairs are teamed with a glass-topped table and placed on a nicely paved patio area. If the patio overlooks a nice view of a lake or wooded valley, you have an excellent place for breakfast. In fact, swivel chairs can dress up any patio or balcony, but there are a few swivel chairs that you would not want to expose to the elements.
Swivel dining chairs provide a convenient way to seat people at a table easily. They are a way to put an end to dragging chairs across floor surfaces, creating unpleasant noises and scarring floor surfaces. They make beautiful patio furniture but are also serviceable inside, and sometimes even fun! They can even create a comfortable place to take a break and have a snack during your busy day.
