This is the third installation in this series about buying furniture on-line and gaining a comfort level with a purchase that you cannot feel, touch, sit-in, etc. I have discussed color selection/matching and seat cushion composition previously. This blog is about seat cushion heights and a little about width and depth. The standard height (measured from the floor to the top of the seat cushion) of club chairs is 15-16" and wing back and other more formal chairs tend to be 18-20" (some even higher). The standard seat depth (measured from front of seat to back) is 20 - 21".

| Wingback - 20" seat height |

| Tapered Chairs - 17" seat height |

| Blue and White Chair - 16" seat height |
Before buying on-line, it is a good idea to experiment and conduct some research about comfort levels in seat heights. Start by sitting in chairs already in your home or going to a furniture store and sitting in various chairs - make sure you take measurements to determine what height works best for you. If seat depths are too deep, it is easy to adjust with a lumbar or other accent pillow.
