side chairs
Dining table companions
Side chairs are dining or occasional chairs without arms, designed to fit neatly along the sides of a table.
Distinguished from armchairs, which typically occupy the head positions, side chairs are the workhorses of a dining set—lighter, more compact, and stackable.
The term appears most often in furniture catalogs and interior design contexts.
We need six side chairs to go with the dining table.
