Dining · Lead time 9–12 weeks

A chair you sit on for two hours after dinner is finished.

Dining chairs spend most of their time being chairs, but their job is to disappear under you for the duration of a long dinner. We design backs at the angle people actually lean to (about 105°, not 90°), with seat depth and pan curvature tuned to the table height and the people who use it.

Stock starting point: 45 cm seat height, 47 cm depth, 53 cm width across the seat. Backs run 85 to 95 cm overall depending on style. Everything moves.

Common configurations

What we are usually asked for.

Set of Six, Cane Back

Walnut frame, woven cane back, wool seat cushion. Lightweight enough to be lifted with one hand. Most-ordered configuration.

Set of Eight, Upholstered

Six armless plus two captains' chairs with arms at the table heads. Linen or velvet seats; backs match. For dining tables 2.0–2.4 m.

Set of Twelve, Leather

Long-table configurations for entertaining homes. Full-grain leather wrap, double-stitched. Stackable variant available for storage.

Banquet / Long Bench

Sometimes a bench beats a chair. Solid timber benches with optional removable cushions, seating four to six.

Cafe Chair (FR-rated)

Lightweight, stackable, bentwood-style chairs for cafes and restaurants. FR-rated upholstery as default. Volume orders only (12+).

Single Captain's Chair

Standalone solid-timber armchair for desks or as a reading chair. Built to match an existing dining set so it can be borrowed when guests arrive.

Pricing transparency

Per-chair pricing, decreasing with set size.

Dining chairs scale economically — the joinery setup time is fixed, so a set of eight costs less per chair than a set of four. Approximate ringgit:

  • Cane back, oak frame: RM 1,650–1,950 per chair (set of 6)
  • Upholstered seat, walnut frame: RM 2,100–2,800 per chair (set of 8)
  • Full leather wrap, walnut: RM 3,200–4,500 per chair (set of 8+)
  • Captain's chair, with arms: add RM 500–800 to base chair price
“Three hours into Hari Raya dinner my mother actually said the chairs were comfortable. She has never said that about any chair.” — Faiz K., private client, Subang Jaya

Match an existing table.

If you have a dining table already, send a clear photo of the legs and apron. We will draw chairs to match the silhouette and stain — matching, not duplicating.
