Dining chairs: what should you pay attention to?

Hello,

we are looking for new chairs for our dining table.

I wanted to ask you what to pay attention to or how to recognize quality?

How much weight should the chairs withstand at least? at least 110 KG, 130 KG, or even 140 KG+?

(the heaviest guest we have weighs about 95-100 KG)

Would you recommend chairs with or rather without armrests?

What do you think of cantilever chairs or would you rather recommend classic ones with 4 legs?

We have a 200x100 cm ceramic dining table

We have rocking chairs, I find them better than ones with 4 legs. But that is quite subjective. My girlfriend has ones with 4 legs, she finds them comfortable, I don’t. But it’s because of the padding, not the legs. Go to a furniture store and try sitting on them. And buy the ones that are most comfortable for you. Chairs are not a lifetime purchase after all.

And the fabric should be easy-care or leather. You also sometimes spill when nibbling.

We have had such ones for years. They are very comfortable. Even people weighing 140 kg have already sat on them.

Men or women?
Depending on where someone's 140 kg are distributed, it can happen with such chairs that a woman takes the chair with her when getting up.

Above all, make sure that the height of the seat matches the table. For me, the chairs (4 legs with padded seat) are a bit too low. I hadn’t considered that before buying the chairs in a Swedish furniture store. My table is from a different manufacturer and is probably a bit higher than the furniture store standard.
