Wooden chairs

Since the 17th century, the presence of wooden chairs in the interior was considered an indicator of luxury and wealth. Already at that distant time there was a large number of models for different segments of the population. At the same time, the so-called Viennese chairs came into fashion . The creator of the first model was Michael Tonet, he developed and applied a unique technique of "steaming wood" to create from it any shapes. Many architects and designers of the Art Nouveau era tried to develop furniture that simultaneously possessed beauty, elegance, simplicity and easy accessibility, all these qualities were embodied in Viennese chairs. And to this day the so-called Viennese chairs, made of wood, are one of the most popular models, both in equipping the home interior, and in equipping various cafes and restaurants.

Typically, wooden chairs are divided into 3 subgroups: hard, semi-soft and soft. Rigid chairs are without a soft seat and back. Semi-soft - having a soft seat, covered with either a cloth or artificial leather. Soft - chairs that have both a soft seat and a soft back, which can also be covered with any upholstery.

To date, on the Internet, you can find a huge number of wooden chairs, differing in design, quality and other factors. But how not to be mistaken in choosing them?

How to choose the right wooden chairs?

In order not to be mistaken, one must rely on the main factors when choosing:

• It is important that the chairs were made of solid wood, not plywood or other wood substitutes.
• The frame should not be thin, the recommended thickness of the legs is 2.5x2.5 cm.
• Pay attention to the coating of wood, it is usually varnished, for greater reliability and durability.
• Also, if possible, pay attention to the connection of all elements of the frame, it is desirable that these connections were on the bolts, then the chair will serve you for several decades.
• And, of course, design. Design should be selected under the overall atmosphere of the interior, and no one will pick it up better than you do!
• Many people are convinced with their choice that you need to buy only furniture from European manufacturers, explaining this by the fact that Russian models are not of very high quality. So this is a misconception, Russian manufacturers have long "outdone" many foreign companies. So do not sharpen your focus on the manufacturing country!

In addition to chairs made of wood, wooden chairs have become very fashionable lately. Of course, not everyone can afford to put in an apartment 4-6 chairs, sitting in which will eat the whole family. But if there is such an opportunity, the wooden chairs will help to give a cozy atmosphere, create convenience for the guests. When choosing wooden armchairs, pay attention to the same recommendations that we discussed above.

Ah, and more, chairs and armchairs usually are selected to the table, and not vice versa. Typically, most chairs are made to the standard height of the tables. The basis is taken in the height in the interval 725-730 mm, but it is better to be safe and try on the chair by comparing them to each other.

All good choices and acquisitions!
