There are two main ways of fastening components of frame furniture:

1. Welding The method is used mainly in mass production.
2. Prefab. In this method bolts, nuts and pipe benders are used. With their help craftsmen collect their own hands chairs.

Modern technologies allow plasticity to give the most unexpected bends and shapes.Pleased with the choice and color palette of plastic seats.

Products from it in recent years are becoming increasingly popular. It is considered a more durable material than plastic. Polycarbonate chairs can withstand a person weighing about 200 kg.

• Wooden backs and seats can represent a single one-piece design or two completely autonomous parts. They can be decorated with openwork carvings or simply coated with varnish or paint.

This texture is warm, does not slip and does not stick to the body. However, it is difficult to care for the cloth, especially if you consider that the kitchen is not the cleanest place in the house. Cloth upholstery, if it is not removable covers, should be cleaned with a steam cleaner or a simple vacuum cleaner in the absence of the first. To remove complex stains, it is proposed to use a cleaning agent designed specifically for upholstered furniture or ordinary soapy water.

• Dining. This type includes classical chairs with a backrest of standard height. It is believed that for a person of average height of 167-173 cm the following dimensions will be optimal.The height from the highest point of the back to the floor should be 80-90 cm, 40-45 cm of which is 40-45 cm from the seat surface to the floor, and the same is the height of the back itself. The most comfortable width of the back of the chair and its seat is approximately 43-45 cm.
• Viennese. Their design is characterized by smooth lines, a rounded seat and tall legs with a thin diameter. Despite the fact that the classical model of the Viennese chair has a wooden base, modern manufacturers offer variants of this design in a metallic design.
• Bar chairs differ from dining options in size. Their height is greater than the standard size and is selected individually, depending on the height of the bar.

There are several types of bar stools:

• Stool. This option is inconvenient and is not intended for prolonged sitting due to the lack of support for the back, which can be reclined.
• Chair with backrest. The height of the back can be different - from the very minimum, almost conditional, to high with a headrest.

• Variety of styles and colors. Depending on the finishing material, metal furniture can be used in different interiors: from modern to retro.

The original colors are also not happy diversity. But you can always change it, and if you don’t like white metal legs, you can easily repaint or decorate it in some other way.

The kitchen is the heart of every home, so the environment for it must be chosen very carefully. Furniture should be not only practical, but also beautiful and comfortable. When choosing kitchen chairs you should not choose the cheapest copies, as a rule, they are made from not very high-quality materials and you, to put it mildly, will disappoint you. However, you should not chase very expensive furniture. Perhaps this is a design model and almost half of the cost is the name. The optimal price is somewhere in the middle.

The color and design of the chairs should match the rest of the room. For example, chairs with textile upholstery look good in a classic interior and are in complete harmony with the wooden texture of the headset. A chair made of transparent plastic is well suited to the glass table with the same metal legs.
