Finding the Right Seating for You
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
Questions About The Chair Teak

- What is a teak bench?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021A teak bench is a bench that is constructed from teak, which is a kind of tropical hardwood which is mostly used for making chairs, seats and even boats. Appreciated for its dense grain and rich luster, old-growth teak was a sought-after material among mid-century modern designers. With proper care, a teak bench can last for nearly 70 years! Find your long-lasting teak bench on 1stDibs.
- What is the value of teak wood?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The average value of teak wood is $7-$13 per board foot. Whereas the value of expensive teak is $41 per board foot. Teak has a leather-like smell when it is freshly milled and is valued particularly for its durability and water resistance. Find a variety of vintage and antique teak wood furniture on 1stDibs.
- Why is teak wood so expensive?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Teak wood is so expensive because it is in high demand due to its water-, pest-, and rot-resistant qualities. It's price is a reflection of its beauty and durability.
- Can I eat out of teak bowls?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not you can eat out of teak bowls depends on the bowls in question. Natural teak is usually food safe, provided that you season it with food-grade mineral oil or other food-safe wood treatment prior to use. Some teak bowls may feature toxic finishes and be unsafe for food. Find a variety of teak bowls on 1stDibs.
- Does teak need to be sealed?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024Generally, teak does not need to be sealed. The wood is naturally resistant to the effects of weather and requires very little maintenance. However, you should follow the care instructions included with your teak furniture for the best results. Explore a diverse assortment of teak wood furniture from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To season a teak bowl, dip a paper towel in mineral oil. Carefully use the towel to rub the bowl all over. Allow the bowl to sit for 15 minutes. Then, wipe the entire surface of the bowl with a dry paper towel. Shop a selection of teak bowls on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Teak furniture lasts approximately 75 years. Teak is a very durable wood that is known to last a lifetime. Due to its durability, teak is often used in outdoor furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024Yes, teak wood is good for a dining table. Not only is the hardwood visually appealing, but it also possesses characteristics that make dining tables crafted from it capable of holding up to the effects of daily use. Its hardness makes it resistant to scratching, and the material naturally resists damage due to heat. In addition, it does not readily absorb liquids, reducing the risk of staining and damage as a result of spills. Explore a collection of teak dining tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024How long teak patio furniture lasts depends on a variety of factors, including its quality, how much weather exposure it receives, the climate and how well you maintain it. On average, pieces made of teak can remain in good condition for 30 to 40 years when cared for according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. However, some pieces endure for decades longer. Shop a variety of teak patio furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024Whether you should use teak wood oil on outdoor furniture depends on the piece and the product. The formulation of most teak wood oil is intended for indoor use, and these products generally shouldn't be applied to outdoor furniture. You should read the care instructions on your furniture and the directions for use on the teak oil for specific advice. Explore a wide variety of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023The difference between a lounge chair and a chair is specificity. A chair is the general term for furniture typically designed to seat one person at a time, and there are many different kinds of chairs, including dining, accent and office chairs. Lounge chairs are another example of a specific type of chair. They are chairs with a footrest that allows you to elevate your feet while sitting. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To tell if a chair is an Eames chair, take a look under the seat or cushion. Authentic Eames lounge chairs are manufactured by Herman Miller and Vitra. If your Eames chair is a Herman Miller original, look for the legendary manufacturer’s specific logomarks on the product (these logomarks can be found on the company’s official website). There is also the manufacturing label, which is usually found under the seat or cushion (unless a former owner removed it). All of the classic Herman Miller designs are paired with a certificate of authenticity. Some designs may also have a medallion attached to certify their authenticity. You can then check trusted online resources to determine if the information on the label is correct for the style of chair (and more info on its construction is available on the official Eames website). You won’t see screws outside of the wood shells on an authentic Eames lounge chair, and prior to the 1970s, original vintage Eames lounge chairs were made with no more than five layers of plywood (during the 1970s, the chairs were made with seven layers). Find a variety of authentic Eames chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023The difference between an accent chair and a dining chair comes down to function and design. An accent chair usually goes in a seating area, and makers craft them with comfort in mind. As a result, most accent chairs feature cushioning and upholstery and are characterized by generous proportions. The purpose of a dining chair is to provide a place to sit while enjoying a meal. Usually, dining chairs are lighter and smaller than accent chairs for easy maneuvering. While they may have padded seats and backrests, dining chairs generally aren't as abundantly cushioned as accent chairs. Explore a large selection of chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022A club chair is called a club chair because the accent chairs became popular in the interior décor of gentleman's clubs in France. The original name for the club chair is “fauteuil confortable," which translates to "comfortable chair." You'll find a collection of club chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The difference between an Adirondack chair and a Muskoka chair can be easily explained in that garden armchairs are called Adirondack in the USA and Muskoka in Canada. While they both have short legs, bent reclining seats, wide armrests and high backs, the Adirondack chair is 2 inches higher from the floor and 2 inches wider. The Adirondack chair uses a flat yoke at the back while Muskoka might use curved yokes. Shop for an Adirondack chair or Muskoka chair on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The difference between a side chair and a Parsons chair is style. A side chair is a very commonly used dining chair. The form of a side chair may vary, but the constant is the lack of armrests to keep hands free for eating and to save space at the table. A Parsons chair is a type of side chair that features upholstery on the seat and back. Shop a selection of dining chairs on 1stDibs.
