Additional Information

Choosing Dining Chairs

Keep in mind that your table type will affect how your dining chairs will fit. Pedestal tables and trestle tables will allow more room than leg tables since chairs have to fit between the table legs.

  • The average dining chair is 16”- 20” wide. Measure dining chairs at their widest point, and add 6” to ensure there is enough room between chairs for people to move comfortably. Depending on the style of the chair, the widest point may be on the seat or chair back.
  • Try to allow for 12 inches between the chair seat height and the table top, no matter the table height, to ensure everyone has enough room to sit comfortably.
  • Leave seven inches between the chair arm height and the table apron (bottom edge of the table).

Chair Heights

Chairs can be built in three heights: Standard, counter, and bar or gathering height.

Chair Height Image

  • Less formal than standard chairs, counter height chairs are 24” – 26” tall. Their added height creates the illusion of taking up less space.

Amish Livingston Contemporary Bar Stool

The Livingston Contemporary Bar Stool is available in counter or bar height.
  • Bar/gathering height chairs are 28”- 30” tall. They are ultra-cool and casual and fit well in smaller spaces.

Amish Harris Bar Stool

The Amish Harris Bar Stool can be built in counter or bar height.

Side and Arm Chairs

Arms add about 6” to the overall width of a dining chair. If space is limited, consider using armless dining chairs, or only use arm chairs at the head and foot of the table.

  • Side chairs take up less space visually and physically.
  • Arm chairs are often used at the head and foot of the table. They offer added comfort with a place to rest the arms.

Overview

Our Amish handcrafted Pressback chair have a nostalgic feel.  Back in the 1800s and early 1900s these dining chairs and kitchen chairs were a popular catalog order often sold for less then $1.00.  The design looks carved but is actually stamped into the chairs using a large roller that presses the design into the chair back wood.  The pressed design was much more affordable then a dining chair with a carved design.  The press back chair is an important part of furniture in American history and we are happy to our Amish woodworkers are continuing on this chair tradition.  

Delicate details and rounded, undulating slats and legs make this a popular choice for the country chair enthusiast. Have these Amish chair specialists craft this chair in your favorite hardwood and stain, or select the classic oak. Call with questions or ordering assistance.

Reviews

DutchCrafters did a great job on our dining room chairs. Would highly recommend them to family and friends.
Absolutely beautiful. We had a table made and was hoping that the chairs matched it that we ordered. They do perfectly and we couldn’t be happier! We will order again should we need anything. Thank you.
Outstanding quality and worth the wait. Wife passed in April 2022, and replacing the chairs restored the dining set which was given to her by her parents returned the elegance to the set.
The chairs are beautiful, the stain matches my table so well. The chairs are made very well. Exactly what I pictured. The delivery team was wonderful! So polite. Delivery was on time and they didn’t rush me at all. Was able to look at each beautiful chair. Thank you! I was a little hesitant to order online without seeing the product in person. But I am so pleased and happy with my purchase.
My experience was wonderful from start to finish. The quality of the chairs is terrific. The driver couldn’t have been any nicer! I am so pleased with the whole order.
Very impressed with the high quality of the wood used and the strength and appearance of the four chairs! Great customer service and delivery guy was great!
My furniture specialist was onto of everything; was very courteous; and very helpful. E-mails were provided that kept me informed. Delivery personnel kept me posted every step of the way, and they were right on time, and very courteous. My order was well packed and protected. The dining set was flawless and beautiful. It's absolutely a much higher quality than the previous oak dining set I owned. I will use DutchCrafters again, and I recommend them.
I love my dining table and chairs!! The quality, the craftsmanship! Just beautiful!! Truly an heirloom piece for generations to enjoy!
Love the chairs. Just beautiful!
The oak dining chairs we ordered from DutchCrafters were a perfect match to our dining table and China cabinet, thanks to the encouragement we received from customer service to compare color stains with samples. The quality of workmanship on the new chairs was superb. We will proudly display our new chairs when we entertain dinner guests. From placement of the order to delivery was reasonable, given the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic, which delayed shipment a short while. We highly recommend DutchCrafters to those who seek high quality furniture. This is high priced merchandise expected of high quality merchandise. You may pay less elsewhere, but you may be disappointed with the product you receive.
Hello, Kari-Jo.

I wanted to let you know that we did receive our furniture today and we absolutely love it. We were also very happy with the delivery. They were professional and courtesy.
