The key traits to look for while choosing the perfect set of dining chairs are finding the right fit, style, and choosing between wooden, upholstered or metal dining chairs.
Measure the room: The first step in buying a set of dining room accent chairs is to measure the dining area. First, start with measuring the size of the dining table. If the table has a leaf, take those measurements into consideration as well. Once you do that, measure the height and width of the chairs to make sure that the number of chairs you want to put around the table will fit. For the best fit and comfort, make sure to include 18 to 24 inches of space for easy seating access when scooting away and towards the table. As a rule of thumb, leave 24 to 30 inches of space between each chair and leave 4 to 5 feet of distance between the table and the walls.
