Ercol Chairs with 4 Items in Set: Timeless Fashion

Furniture has to be functional, but most people want it to be stylish as well. This is particularly true of high-traffic spaces like the dining or living room. Far from being overshadowed by the dining room table, chairs complement it with their back designs, cushions, and material or finish.

A dining room chair contributes a lot of its character through its back. Although often lending comfort and ergonomic support, a chair's back can also be a source of elaborate carpentry with intricate details. Some backs are rigid as they sit perpendicular to the ground while others are swept back, creating a more laid-back impression. Sometimes the back seems minimal, such as in the butterfly designs. Other times, the back creates a cosy image with attached armrests.

One of the most appealing qualities of dining chair cushions is they complement all types of wood in countless colours. Some cushions are unattached pillows that you can replace at will while others come embedded in the seat. You can secure seat cushions with tape, and many types come with ready-made ties. A wide array of fabrics are available including leather, chenille, weave, cotton, acrylic, nylon, rayon, or a blend. Upholstered dining chairs or those with mere seat pads can feature decorative prints or solid colours.

Many pieces of furniture, like Ercol dining room chairs, become household names because of the manufacturer's attention to detail and craftsmanship. A creator pays close attention to the materials and finish. Traditional Ercol dining room chair sets usually are constructed with elm, pine, or beech. You may see other Ercol dining chairs where the manufacturer uses oak, walnut, cherry, mahogany, or ash. Not only is the type of wood important to the chair's contribution to the look of a room but also its finish. A common finish is a varnish, veneer, gloss, or shellack that gives the wood a sheen or darkens it. Another frequent technique is to put a wood inlay over a cheaper material making a chair look like it is solid wood. Finally, you can choose painted chairs that can be any colour that you desire.
