How tall should a kitchen chair be?

Sockfinder

I would love to use two benches (below) with cushions on them, but are they too short? I will be using a standard sized kitchen table. The benches are 16" in height.

Answer
Standard kitchen tables are 30 inches high. standard chairs are 18 - 19 inches. The skirt board that goes around the bottom of the table top varies with manufactures, and effects leg room. Average leg room needed is 8 inches. Measure this from top of chair seat to bottom of skirting. Don't forget cushion thickness, as you need the 8 inches to top of cushion, if you use cushions on top of chairs.

Find a table and chairs off of craigslist. Build your bench. Cut 2 pieces of plywood to fit the back and bottom of the bench and upholster them.

Screw the plywood panels in from the back of the bench.
Upholster the chairs to match.
