Best everyday chairs

Top pick: the Solid Wood Dining Chair set of 4 — the everyday workhorse. Nearly a thousand ratings at 4.7, a 2.75-inch cushion for long dinners, and a solid wood frame that takes daily family use.

Who the others suit:

• Windsor set of 4 — same 4.9-rated look, classic spindle style if your table leans traditional.
• ACTU Scandinavian set of 2 — best for small spaces and quick assembly; a good starter pair.
• Rattan Back set of 2 — lighter, airier look for a bright room.
• Tropow set of 2 — budget-friendly PU seats that wipe clean with kids.
• Frankie leather chair — the upgrade pick if you want a single statement chair.

Check seat height against your table before ordering.
