What is a Side Chair?

A side chair is a chair with a straight back and no arms. It can have an upholstered seat and/or back but the frame itself is usually bare and may be made of wood or metal.

What height side chair should I choose?

Dining tables are generally 28 to 30" high, requiring chairs with seats measuring 15 to 18" from the floor. Side chairs for both cafe and dining tables meet that range, allowing for 10 to 13" between the seat and the table.

How do I know how many chairs will fit at my dining table?

To figure out how many side chairs will fit comfortably around your dining table, allow for 28 to 32" of space for each person. Here are two tips for general spacing of side chairs:

Allow 24 to 28" for the chair width (armless)
A minimum of 4 to 6" is required between chairs

What materials are your side chairs made of?

Nearly all chairs offered by Timeless Wrought Iron will have hand-forged iron or mild steel frames and bases, but seats and backrests are offered in other high-quality materials including:

Wood
Real Leather
Faux Leather
Fabric
Copper
Zinc

What iron finishes can I specify?

Finish options are listed in the Specifications section for each item. A few of the finishes we offer are:

Textured Black
Oil Rubbed Bronze
Etched Silver
Woodland Brown
Hand Rubbed Ivory
Antique Gold

How do I care for my wrought-iron side chairs?

We recommend regular dusting or buffing with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the occasional spill or drip, warm soapy water will work well (rinse and dry with a soft cloth.) Furniture wax may be used periodically to maintain the metal's finish. Upholstery, both leather and fabric, should be cared for as you would any fine cloth or leather.
