What is a chair and a half called?
1 Answer
The expression "chair-and-a-half" is generally used for any oversized chair that is exceedingly comfortable. The seat is wider than the standard chair’s seat, measuring 46” in width, and is an excellent choice for a nursery or a library. A chair-and-a-half, designed in the Mid-Century Modern, Modern or Louis XV style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. On 1stDibs, shop a chair-and-a-half selection that features works from top sellers and makers around the world.
