Light and mobile, such chairs are easy to handle and easy to maintain, but have weight restrictions and require special processing of the material from excessive humidity and temperature extremes.

Wicker chairs, armchairs, which are usually referred to as a group of outdoor, garden furniture, have become an excellent addition to the rustic style of this rustic kitchen.

It is easy to look after plastic furniture, it is moisture resistant, which is an obvious plus for a room with a high level of risk of contamination and high humidity. But there are some drawbacks - plastic furniture is short-lived and has weight restrictions. Typically, plastic chairs support up to 90 kg. To increase the strength of products, but at the same time stay in a certain price category. Manufacturers combine plastic with wood and metal. Steel or aluminum legs of chairs significantly increase their service life.

Plastic furniture will look very harmonious in a modern interior with abundant use of glass, mirror surfaces. Kitchen cabinets made of MDF, covered with PVC film, which are so often used to make built-in furniture for the kitchen, perfectly tolerate the neighborhood of plastic, including as a material for chairs and stools.

These chairs are now available with a plastic seat and wooden legs, although the Ames couple initially made a plywood seat during their experiments on the plastic of this affordable and lightweight material. In a bright kitchen, these lightweight designs of kitchen chairs look not only appropriate, but also advantageous.

Chairs of transparent plastic are often purchased for small kitchen spaces, for obvious reasons - they look weightless, do not burden the appearance of the room and are easy to maintain and maintain. But for spacious kitchens with an original interior design, transparent furniture can be a godsend.

Such an eclectic dining area can be an interesting option for a large family, where each household has their own special chair.

Metal frame for kitchen chairs

The most durable, but also quite expensive material for the manufacture of a chair frame is metal.

Among the metal bar stools, there are height-adjustable options, which is an absolute plus for family kitchen spaces. In some models of chairs, backrest adjustment is possible.

A chair made entirely of metal is a rather expensive product, and it is also very cold. Therefore, as a rule, chairs or stools with a metal frame have a soft seat, and sometimes a back. The seat material can be any, but for the kitchen it is better to choose textiles or material that will be easily cleaned, such as leather, natural or artificial.

Metal has become the main material for the manufacture of bar stools and dining room chairs for this modern kitchen with country elements in the interior. Original designs of chairs have become the hallmark of the non-trivial decor of the kitchen.
