You can order dining chairs from us at Furniture in Fashion with free delivery to most UK mainland postcodes, across our full range of fabric, leather, velvet and wooden designs. There is no minimum order requirement and delivery is included at checkout rather than added afterwards, which makes comparing the real cost of a set considerably simpler.
Delivery is one of the areas where furniture shopping becomes unexpectedly complicated. A set of six chairs is bulky, and carriage on bulky goods is where a reasonable looking total can quietly grow. Knowing what to check before ordering saves both money and the frustration of a delivery that does not go smoothly.
Dining chairs occupy an awkward position in the logistics of furniture. They are not small enough to go through a standard parcel network at low cost, and they are not heavy enough to justify a dedicated furniture vehicle for a single item. A set of six occupies substantial volume even when flat packed.
This is why carriage on seating is often charged per item rather than per order, and why a set of six can attract a charge disproportionate to a single chair. When delivery is included from the outset, that variability disappears and the price you compare is the price you pay.
Our full range of modern dining chairs UK sale is covered by free delivery to most UK mainland postcodes, whether you order two chairs or eight.
A few checks before placing an order prevent nearly every delivery problem we hear about.
Measure your access route first. This means the doorway, the hall width, the turn at the bottom of the stairs if the chairs are going upstairs, and any tight corner between the front door and the dining room. Assembled chairs are wider than they look, and the seat back is usually the dimension that causes trouble.
Check whether the chairs arrive assembled or flat packed. Flat packed items pass through tight access far more easily and are lighter to carry, but they need time and a screwdriver at the other end. Assembled chairs are ready immediately but need the full route to be clear.
Confirm what happens with packaging. Cardboard and protective wrapping from a set of six chairs fills a considerable amount of space, and it is worth knowing whether your local recycling collection takes large cardboard or whether a trip to a recycling centre is needed.
Note the delivery window and who needs to be present. Someone must be there to receive and check the items, and it is far easier to raise any issue at the point of delivery than afterwards.
If you are furnishing a dining room from scratch, ordering the table and chairs together is usually more straightforward than buying them separately. Everything arrives in one window, the finishes are guaranteed to relate to one another, and there is no period of eating at a table with mismatched or borrowed seating.
Sets also remove the guesswork around proportions. Seat height to table height is the measurement most often overlooked when buying chairs and tables from different places, and a set has that relationship already resolved. Our dining table and chairs sets UK sale range covers four, six and eight seater configurations.
If you already have a table you are keeping, measure the underside height from the floor before ordering chairs. The gap between the seat and the table underside should be around twenty five to thirty centimetres for comfortable seating.
Returns are available up to 30 days, but the better outcome is not needing them. Three checks reduce the chance of disappointment substantially.
Look at the dimensions rather than the photograph. Seat width, seat depth and overall height are all listed for a reason, and a chair that photographs beautifully may be considerably larger or smaller than it appears against an unfamiliar table.
Consider the material against how you actually use the room. Faux leather and tight weave fabrics suit family kitchens. Velvet and softer textures suit dining rooms used mainly in the evening. Our leather dining chairs UK sale and fabric ranges each suit different households, and the choice matters more over five years than the price difference does.
Think about the room as a whole. A chair that works against a pale wall and a wooden floor may look heavy in a small carpeted room. Holding a photograph of the chair against the actual space, at the actual scale, is a better test than imagination.
Most dining chairs arrive with legs to attach, which is typically a four screw job taking a few minutes per chair. Some arrive fully assembled.
Flat packed is generally preferable if your access is tight, if the chairs are going upstairs, or if you live in a flat with a narrow stairwell. The packaging is also more compact and easier to dispose of.
Assembled chairs suit anyone who would rather not spend an hour with a screwdriver, and they remove the small risk of a leg being fitted slightly out of true. Neither option is better in the abstract, and the right choice depends on the route into your home.
Chairs rarely arrive into an otherwise finished room. If you are buying seating as part of a larger project, it is worth thinking about the order in which things arrive. Table first, then chairs, then storage such as a sideboard, is the sequence that causes the least disruption.
A sideboard or storage piece also changes how much floor space the chairs have, so if one is planned, factor its depth into your clearance measurements. Most of the modern sideboards UK sale options sit between forty and forty five centimetres deep, which takes a meaningful bite out of a smaller dining room.
Across the wider furniture UK sale range at Furniture in Fashion, we deliver to most UK mainland postcodes at no additional cost, which makes furnishing a room in stages a good deal less complicated than it might otherwise be.
No. We offer free delivery to most UK mainland postcodes without a minimum order value, so a pair of chairs is covered on the same basis as a full set.
Most dining chairs arrive with the legs to be attached, which usually takes a few minutes per chair with a screwdriver. Assembly requirements are listed on each product page.
Measure your doorway, hallway width and any tight turns on the route to the dining room, plus the height from the floor to the underside of your table so the seat height suits.
Returns are available up to 30 days. Keeping the original packaging until you are certain makes the process considerably easier.
A set removes any uncertainty about seat height and proportion and arrives together. Buying separately makes sense when you already have a table you intend to keep.
