When selecting furniture for a dining hall, whether in a school, private club, or other institutional setting, the stakes are high. Chairs must be beautiful, durable, and comfortable—all while fitting the space’s specific needs. At Eustis Chair, we’ve collaborated with institutions like Millbrook School and Westminster School to create dining hall furniture that stands the test of time. Here’s how to choose the perfect chair for your dining hall.
1. Consider Durability for High-Traffic Use
Dining hall chairs endure heavy use daily. Look for chairs built to last with materials like solid hardwood and advanced joinery. Eustis Chair uses patented joinery techniques to ensure our chairs are exceptionally durable and can handle decades of use without loosening joints or compromising structure.
2. Prioritize Comfort and Functionality
Dining is a time for community and connection, and comfort is key. Chairs with ergonomic designs provide optimal support for long meals. For flexibility, consider stackable designs like our Bainbridge Island chair, ideal for spaces that need to transition between seated dining and open events.
3. Match Style to Your Space
Dining halls are more than functional—they’re statements of identity. Classic wood designs, custom stains, and upholstery options allow you to harmonize furniture with your institution’s aesthetic. For example, the Armstrong Dining Hall at Westminster School, designed by Graham Gund, achieved a balance of traditional elegance and modern functionality using custom Eustis Chairs.
4. Sustainability Matters
Sustainability is no longer optional—it’s essential. Eustis Chair partners with responsibly managed forests to source our wood, ensuring that your investment aligns with your institution’s environmental values.
5. Tailor Your Chairs to Your Needs
Customization allows you to create chairs tailored to your specific requirements. From seat height to wood finish, Eustis Chair works with you to design furniture that perfectly fits your dining hall’s dimensions and purpose.
