Tables and Seating with Express Delivery

A table and its seating are chosen together: it is how they match that shows, not each piece on its own. This page brings together coffee tables, extendable tables, chairs and armchairs from the same family of materials and shades.

Measure around the table

A chair pushed back needs room behind it, and someone walking past needs even more. So check the clearance between the edge of the tabletop and the wall before choosing a wide model. For an extendable table, do this calculation with the extension open.

Chair, dining armchair or lounge armchair

A dining chair slides under the tabletop and is counted in pairs. The small dining armchair adds low armrests and suits long meals, provided those armrests fit under the table. The lounge armchair, for its part, does not belong at the table: it anchors a corner of the room, on its own or facing the sofa.

Match upholstery and tabletops

Bouclé, velvet and textured fabric mix easily as long as the palette stays restrained: beige, taupe, gray, terracotta, khaki. A ceramic coffee table with a travertine look brings the mineral element that an all-textile setting lacks.

Frequently asked questions

How many chairs around a table?

Allow the width of one chair, plus a little extra room, per guest and on each long side. Chairs are often sold in pairs, which makes counting easier.

Is all seating cleaned the same way?

Bouclé and textured fabric can be dusted with a vacuum cleaner, using a soft brush. Velvet needs brushing in the direction of the pile to erase seat marks.

Does a ceramic table scratch?

Ceramic withstands heat and everyday scratches far better than a wooden tabletop. Still, place a trivet under any dish straight from the oven.
