Step 1 – Measure the Height and Space Around the Table
What Is the Standard Dining Chair Height?
The standard modern dining chair seat height ranges from 17” to 19”, depending on the style, whether cushioned or not. Designed to pair with dining tables that are typically 28” to 30” tall, this gives you about 10–12 inches of legroom for absolute comfort.
👉 Tip: Always measure from the floor to the top of the seat, not the backrest.
How Much Space Do You Need Between Chairs?
The perfect width for dining chairs in Canada is between 24–30 inches, allowing comfortable seating without rubbing elbows with a neighbor.
Dining Chairs for Small Spaces
