dining chair
Mealtime sitting furniture
A dining chair is a chair designed for use at a dining table, typically with a straight back and no arms.
Dining chairs are usually sold in sets and matched to a table: We need six dining chairs for the new table.
They tend to be more upright than lounge chairs, positioning the sitter for eating rather than relaxing.
