recommend sturdy, smallish, comfortable, classic wood dining chairs for kitchen

[Anonymous]

I need suggestions for dining chairs. We just had a trestle table made for the dining area in our kitchen. We don't have a dining room. The table is 30 inches wide because we didn't have space for a wider one. Chairs must be smallish but sturdy for different sized people. Because our house is in upstate NY where it gets cold in the winter, we prefer a cushioned seat but would consider the option of adding a cushion to the seat. We don't have many stores to sit on actual furniture here so are looking for recommendations. "Farmhouse" is probably the best way to describe what style we are looking for Looking for good quality wood chairs - willing to pay up to $400 or so for the right ones. Any recommendations for sturdy, smallish, comfortable, classic dining chairs?

I don’t know if they will look too commercial to you but for small, comfortable, sturdy chairs for a low price the Lancaster chairs from webstaurantstore are great.

Pottery Barn Summerville or Aaron. Or if you are ok with buying used, the PB Napoleon chairs are classic and durable.

Got any antique stores or vintage stores nearby? You'll get real, solid wood as opposed to pressed wood like PB or RH.

OP: Not many stores nearby so I ordered a set of 6 from Chairish and they are too small and delicate. Next ones I buy, I need to sit on first.

Should have added: I would like the recommendation of someone who has sat on them if I can't sit on them. And I am wiling to pay for real wood chairs.

We have these around the trestle table at our beach house, and they're great for the price. They also appear to be on sale right now:

This is the table we have . . . in the second to last photo, you can see what the chair style looks like with the table:

Are they comfortable? They look sooo uncomfortable.

We've had the previous version of this chair in our kitchen for 10+ years and find them very comfortable. However, everyone in our family is on the smaller side.

They are, and we spend a lot of time sitting around that table. They are basic wood chairs, which I find to be comfortable for dining. If you prefer upholstered chairs, then you might be disappointed.
