How can you tell if a dining chair is good quality?

A dining chair is of good quality if it is sturdy and durable. While fitting in with your home decor and style may not seem like a top priority, having a seamless design, including your dining chairs, indicates that each piece is high-quality and a worthy investment.

What is the best wood for a chair?

The best wood for a dining chair depends on the style of your home. The most popular hardwoods used for chairs are ash, beech, birch, maple, oak, poplar, teak, and walnut. While a cheaper option is rubber wood, teak is actually the most durable and hardy wood.
