Six dining chairs anchor The Design House's current range, Maddox, Elara, Harper, Milan, Ralph and Sierra, each a slightly different reading of proportion, frame and upholstery around the same everyday purpose. Seen side by side in the showroom, the differences run deeper than price alone suggests, though Maddox opens the group from AED 3,490, and Sierra, the most considered of the six, closes it at AED 4,290.

How the range breaks down
Starting point. Maddox, at AED 3,490, is the only chair in the range under AED 3,800.
Middle cluster. Elara, Harper, Milan and Ralph land within AED 100 of one another, roughly AED 3,890 to AED 3,990, essentially a single price tier.
Top of the range. Sierra, at AED 4,290, is the only chair above AED 4,000.
As with all our seating, upholstery and frame finish can be adjusted on any of these chairs, so the price above is a starting point for the conversation rather than a fixed figure.
Choosing a chair for daily use or occasional entertaining
A dining chair used every day, for breakfast, homework and quick meals, carries different demands than one that comes out mainly for guests. For daily use, a performance fabric upholstery and a frame finish that hides everyday marks tend to matter more than the specific silhouette, since the chair is in near-constant contact. A dining room reserved largely for entertaining can lean further into a more considered upholstery, since it sees lighter, less frequent use and more of its value comes from how it reads at the table.
Weight is worth checking too, particularly for a household that rearranges seating often, moving chairs to a kitchen island, pulling extras in for guests, or clearing space around a table. A lighter frame is easier to shift regularly, while a more substantial chair, once positioned, tends to stay put, which suits a dining room that keeps a fixed layout.
Fitting dining chairs around a real table
As a quick rule, allow 60 to 65cm of table edge per chair and a seat height of 45 to 48cm to tuck under a table 74 to 76cm high. For the full spacing rules, read our dining chair size guide.
Upholstery care on a dining chair
Dining chairs see more day to day contact with food and drink than most other upholstered furniture, so care matters. On The Design House's performance fabric upholstery, common stains like sauce, coffee or wine lift with water or a little mild soap; lift any solids off first with a spoon or flat utensil, then dab and work the area gently with a microfiber cloth rather than rubbing it in. Avoid heat while drying, including a hairdryer, since it can set a stain rather than lift it.
Mixing chairs and benches at the same table
A dining table doesn't need to be surrounded entirely by chairs from this lineup to work well. Pairing chairs on the long sides with a bench at one end is a common way to fit more seats into the same footprint, since a bench generally seats people in less linear width than the same number of chairs, roughly 55 to 60cm per person compared with the 60 to 65cm a chair needs. When mixing the two, matching the seat height between the chairs and the bench matters more than matching the exact style, so the table reads as one considered setting rather than two mismatched systems.
