What is a dining chair?
A dining chair is part of a dining room furniture set. A set of dining room chairs, often six or more, is arranged around a dining room table. Most dining rooms also include a cabinet to hold dishes, and some have a sideboard table to hold dishes of food during meals. A dining chair is often made from wood, but may also be wicker, metal, or plastic. Plastic dining chairs are usually found in kitchens or in informally styled dining rooms. A plastic dining chair is often colorful and contemporary in design, but may be transparent, sometimes with bright chrome legs. The overall look of modern plastic dining chairs tends to be geometrical and smooth without much embellishment or detail. Outdoor patio furniture may include plastic and/or metal dining chairs that are even simpler in design and which may fold for storage. Metal dining rooms chairs are fairly uncommon in formal dining rooms, but elegant wrought iron chairs are popular in some kitchens or in homes with a Mediterranean decor. Wr
