Windsor Dining Chair Set of 4 vs ACTU Scandinavian Upholstered Dining Chairs

The Windsor is the sturdier, more honest chair: solid ash frame, fully assembled, and a 275 lb weight capacity, with 104 ratings at 4.9. The ACTU is the softer, lighter-looking pick for small rooms, with an upholstered seat and curved back, but it ships as a set of 2 and needs about 20 minutes of assembly. Buy the Windsor for a family table that gets daily use; buy the ACTU if you want a cushioned mid-century look and only need two chairs.

• Choose the Windsor Dining Chair if you want a fully assembled solid wood chair that takes daily family use and comes four to a set.
• Choose the ACTU chair if you want an upholstered, curved-back seat with a lighter visual footprint and only need two chairs.
