How to choose a wooden chair with armrests?

Wooden chairs with armrests are a popular and sought-after piece of furniture and have not gone out of fashion for many years. Modern trends in interior fashion prompted manufacturers to release a huge number of various models, the relevance of which is steadily increasing.

This type of construction deservedly has a lot of fans, and due to its practicality and convenience, it can be successfully used in any style.

Wooden chairs with armrests have the following undeniable advantages:

• Cleanliness and harmlessness. Absolute environmental safety and hygiene of products is achieved through the use of solid natural wood.
• Elegant appearance. Models are produced in a huge assortment, with a wide variety of designs and textures. Carving is often used for classics, which gives an unusual relief to the legs and armrests. The seats and backs of the upholstered models are available in a wide range of colors and upholstery fabrics.

• Convenience and comfort achieved thanks to a clever design that perfectly supports the muscles of the arms and back. This promotes total relaxation and provides complete rest. In terms of their relaxation qualities, chairs with armrests can be compared with armchairs, but, unlike them, they take up much less space and have a higher seating position, which allows you to sit comfortably at the table.
• Renovation and easy maintenance. Unlike plastic or metal chairs, wooden models are highly repairable. Replacement of damaged elements can be done pointwise and there is no need to change the entire frame. Shabby armrests are sanded and varnished, while the seat and backrests can be easily restored and retightened.
• Status of products. Wooden models with armrests can make any room solid and presentable, as well as indicate the wealth and refined taste of the owners of the house.

Chairs equipped with armrests are present on the furniture market in a wide variety. The models differ from each other in design, design and materials of manufacture.

The products are produced in a wide range of sizes, from miniature models with a low back to royal versions, where the height of the back exceeds the height of a person in a sitting position. Such products are not very convenient for constant use, since the head is forced to be in an unnatural position, which leads to discomfort and tension in the neck muscles.

The installation of these models is justified if the room needs to be given status and pomp, as well as in order to decorate the interior. The size of the seat is characterized by its width and depth.

And if you move back closely, then there is a possibility that your legs will not rest on the floor.

The armrests of wooden chairs can be soft or hard.

• Upholstered ones are made of polyurethane foam and an upholstery fabric similar to that of which the seat and backrest are made.
• Hard ones are made of solid wood and can be decorated with carvings and decorative inserts.Their surface is varnished with special wear-resistant compounds, which allow the armrests not to lose their original appearance for a long time.

The back and seat are both hard and soft. The soft version is very comfortable for long-term use, but it needs regular and thorough care of the upholstery. For chairs that are often used as upholstery fabrics, you need to choose practical and durable materials such as flock and jacquard. If the chair will perform a decorative function, you can focus only on the expensive texture and beauty of the coating.

In order to correctly determine the chair model, it is necessary to determine its functional application.

• If furniture is purchased for office space or in a study, it is better to choose the option with soft back and seat upholstery. As an upholstery, a cover made of eco-leather will be ideal, which, unlike natural, is good for air permeability, is easy to clean and is much cheaper. Real leather can be purchased if the stool is supposed to be used sporadically. With constant use, a person will experience discomfort from the inability of the material to ventilate itself.
• If stool is acquired for living room or bedroom, you should focus on its compatibility with the style of the room and interior design.

Models with armrests fit well not only in classic, but also in modern interiors.

For example, a rigid model with straight shapes, the absence of carved elements and with a clearly pronounced pattern of wood fibers will successfully fit into the style minimalism, and a combination of wood with metal or glass inserts is fine for hi-tech.

For modern and pop art a bright soft model upholstered in expensive fabric would be a good option.

Ethnic African style you can consider products in yellow and red shades, and for Scandinavian - a hard wooden model made of light wood and with a matte surface.

When buying chairs for the dining room and kitchen, it is better to give preference to solid wood structures with comfortable, low-lying armrests. Such products are convenient for eating, easy to clean and do not accumulate dust. For use on terraces of country houses, it is better to use rigid models.

The padded backrest, armrests and seat tend to accumulate moisture and are not suitable for outdoor use. Alternatively, you can use wicker chairs with armrests, which can also be classified as wood products. They are hygienic, comfortable, lightweight, mobile, moisture resistant and durable

The cost of chairs with armrests depends on the value of the tree species, the quality of the upholstery material and the presence of decorative elements. Thanks to the huge range of products, there is a choice of both very budgetary rigid options and luxurious premium specimens with elements of forging, carving and exclusive design.

In addition to traditional single models, there are also chic spacious designs for two people. The price of such products can reach 45,000 rubles. And an inexpensive, but quite elegant and comfortable model can be purchased for 6-8 thousand.
