side chair
Armless dining seat
A side chair is a chair without arms, designed to be placed along a wall or pulled up to a table as needed.
The term distinguishes it from armchairs, which occupy more space and suggest a more permanent position.
Side chairs are common in dining rooms, where multiple chairs must fit closely around a table: a set of six matching side chairs.
