6. How do I know what size dining chair to get?
A general rule of thumb for dining chairs is to have them around 18 inches high, with about 12 inches of space between the tabletop and the seat. This ensures a comfortable dining experience and allows for proper alignment with the average height of a dining table, which is approximately 30 inches.
7. How much clearance do dining chairs need?
To provide ample space and prevent any collisions or discomfort, it is recommended to have about 24 inches of clearance between dining chairs. This allows enough room for people to slide chairs in and out without hitting elbows or experiencing any difficulties.
8. Why do vinyl chairs get sticky?
Sticky vinyl chairs are typically caused by a plasticizer issue. Over time, the plasticizers used in the production of PVC migrate to the surface, resulting in a sticky texture. This issue may become apparent when a new finish is applied, as it chemically reacts with the plasticizer.
9. How do you protect a pleather chair?
To protect a pleather chair, you can use products specifically designed for artificial leather and plastic, such as COLOURLOCK Protector. Applying this product creates an invisible protective film on the surface, preventing dirt penetration and long-term damage to the coating.
