Collection: Buy Dining Chairs

Most dining chairs arrive partially assembled, with simple steps like attaching legs or backrests — full instructions are included with each set. Proferlo delivers dining chairs NZ-wide, with delivery calculated at checkout based on your location. Pick-up is also available from the Westgate showroom in Auckland for customers who'd rather collect in person.

Buying a matching set is the easiest way to get a consistent look, and it's how most dining chairs are sold. That said, mixing works well too — pairing two wooden dining chairs as end chairs with a set of upholstered side chairs, for example, is a popular way to add contrast. If you're new to mixing styles, keep one element consistent, like leg colour or timber tone, so the table still feels pulled together.

With normal household use, well-made dining chairs typically last many years. Wiping spills promptly, lifting rather than dragging chairs, keeping wood out of direct sun, and tightening joints periodically all help extend their life. Solid wood dining chairs tend to hold up well to daily wear, while upholstered options need a bit more care to stay looking new.

Yes, though the right material makes a difference. Fabric dining chairs are comfortable but can absorb spills, so they suit lower-traffic settings or households happy to spot clean. PU leather and solid wood dining chairs wipe clean easily, making them a practical choice for family homes with young kids or pets.

A dining bench seats multiple people along one side of a table without individual chair backs, while dining chairs are seated individually and usually include a backrest. Benches suit households that want more seating in a smaller footprint, or families who need flexible, shuffle-along seating. Many customers pair a bench on one side of the table with chairs on the other.
