Chairs for the kitchen on a metal frame: features and choice

A competent interior solution to any room, first of all, depends on the choice of furniture. For example, over the past few years, kitchen chairs on a metal frame have become particularly popular. They have a number of positive qualities: good stability, long service life, modern look.

Any product has a combination of various parameters that determine its practicality in a particular situation. When it comes to kitchen furniture, primarily utilitarian goals are pursued, they are integral. In contrast, design should not be forgotten, because disharmony in chairs and a table will immediately begin to attract attention with its appearance.

Chromed chairs perfectly fit as furniture for kitchens, as they are endowed with the following advantages.

• The main component of modern design options is aimed at the use of shiny metal in combination with leather or plastic, in other words, they are more in demand.
• High moisture resistance. Metal chairs are much easier to handle processing and washing with all kinds of means.
• High reliability. Metal products can withstand not only a person with an average weight, but also “giants” weighing 150 kilograms.
• Long term of operation.
• Their materials are very strong and able to maintain performance for a long time.
• High maintainability. A broken frame or seat can be repaired or replaced relatively quickly.
• No creaking inherent in wood.
• No distortion in shape over time.
• Low cost, wide range.

Nevertheless, such chairs have some imperfections:

• legs can scratch the floor;
• various contaminants will be perfectly visible on a glossy surface, therefore, they will need to be wiped or washed quite often;
• such products may simply be heavier than, for example, their wooden counterparts.

The specifics of the use of chairs determine their arrangement. From this position, several varieties are distinguished.

• Monolithic. Endowed with extreme stability and in demand in continuous use. These are the usual product designs for which an individual place is required.
• Collapsible. They are characterized by mobility, are used at field events, as well as for the equipment of personal plots and courtyards of suburban homes.
• Folding. They are characterized by compactness - if there is a desire, they can be easily folded and put away for storage. Moreover, folding structures are optimally suited for small-sized apartments.
• Stackable. Such modifications have long been successfully used by well-known designers around the world. Models are placed on top of each other like a children's pyramid and significantly save space. A sample of such products can be seen in summer cafes.

Moreover, the comfort of chairs on a metal frame is supported by additional options for regulation and structure in general.

The frame for chairs is made of different metals, with the competent processing of which they withstand any destructive effect. As a rule, the following types are practiced.

• Aluminum. This material is characterized by low weight, for this reason it is in most cases used in the manufacture of small parts. The main positive property of aluminum is that it has good resistance to high humidity and the formation of rust. However, it is not the strongest metal, is not able to withstand extremely large masses.

• Steel. From this metal it is already possible to make large structures that will be extremely durable. Without coating, the metal is susceptible to rust formation, as a result of which the material must be coated with specialized final paints, varnishes or non-corrosive.

• Cast iron. This is a fairly strong metal, the main imperfection of which is considered to be an overly impressive weight. For this reason, in most cases, furniture for a garden plot is produced from it, which does not need to be constantly moved. Without processing, the product is also subject to rust.

A variety of, sometimes even unpredictable materials can be used in the role of material for decorating backs and seats.

• Plastic. The combination in furniture of plastic seats and metal legs is especially practical and the most common in these products for the kitchen. Such materials are easy to care for, not afraid of dampness and high temperatures. High technology makes it possible to give plastic the most unusual bend configuration. Pleased with a variety of colors and plastic seats. This is a suitable option not only for the apartment, but also for the open terrace of a house outside the city, as well as for a summer cafe. One type of plastic is polycarbonate. Products from it have recently become more and more popular.

• Wood. Seats and backs made of wood can represent an inseparable structure or two completely independent elements. They can be coated with paint, varnish or decorated with openwork carvings.

• Fabric and leather. These materials are used for upholstering chairs. Each of them has its own advantages. The seat covered with fabric is pleasant to touch with your hand. However, the matter is not easy to care for, especially when you consider that the kitchen is not the cleanest place in the apartment.

The appearance of the chairs on the metal frame can be very different. As a rule, the frame of such an iron chair is aluminum or chrome. The back and seat can be made of plastic. A comfortable and practical option for the kitchen will be plastic bar stools on a metal base. They will look great in a kitchen decorated in a modern minimalist or hi-tech style.

Classic-style iron-framed chairs usually have a seat and backrest made of wood. Comfortable to use chairs on a steel frame with covered with fabric or leather, soft backs and seats.

The most affordable option for a chair on an iron frame will be a sample with a support made of a metal pipe. Such a frame can have a round or square cross section, and the pipes themselves are connected by electric welding. The seats and backs are made of wood or even plywood and covered with fabric or leather. For a small kitchen, a soft folding chair on a metal skeleton can be a comfortable modification.

From all sorts of shades and styles of design, you can choose for the kitchen just such chairs that will look great in the existing interior of the room.

The frameworks are usually coated with a chrome or powder coating based on polymers. Powder coatings have a different color palette. Especially often used is the color of silver and white.

Italian companies dominate in this area, but the Chinese are breathing vigorously into the back of their head. Turkish companies are closing the top three.

• Chairs Calligaris (Italy). The skeleton is stable of metal, only the seat can be made of various materials - wood, technical polymers, plastic prevail. Reliable, stylish and long-lasting products.

• Chinese product - SK 2368. The legs of Chinese chairs are often coated with chrome and nickel. Covering the seat and backrest with genuine leather is a rare occurrence, as this material instantly increases the cost. Leatherette and plastic predominate, and there are also models with a back and a seat covered in eco-leather.

• Turkish pattern - Balin. The backbone of Balin chairs is constantly metal, everything else - fabric, leatherette, plastic. Wear resistance is low, the seats wipe over time and become unattractive. A standard chair is required to withstand a load of 120-150 kilograms, but Turkish pieces of furniture follow different requirements: a person whose mass exceeds 90 kilograms risks breaking his back. A small plus of chairs from Turkey: they are simply stacked and moved.

• Domestic production. Our manufacturers have focused on chromed metal and leatherette. Not lost - Russian products are strong enough, durable, just washable and maintainable. The most inexpensive and popular model is the Harp.It resembles Viennese chairs with its curved back of iron bars.

Strong, lightweight, comfortable, versatile chairs on an iron frame are justly in demand among consumers. The assortment of furniture on the market is truly grandiose. Do not get confused in this abundance and choose the suitable model will help the recommendations below.

• Decide on the type of design. So, for a small kitchen, folding chairs or oversized stools, which take up very little space, are an excellent option.
• Choose the most comfortable modification. Do not be embarrassed to sit down at furniture at a retail outlet - only in this way you will be able to evaluate the stability of the product, to understand whether the size of the seat and the bend of the back are suitable for you.
• Select the appropriate material. It can be leatherette compliant with hygiene rules, eco-friendly fabric upholstery, comfortable wood or modern plastic.
• Evaluate to what extent the design of the product harmoniously fits into the decoration of your kitchen. Chairs on a metal frame can become both a modest appendage of furniture and a catchy color accent of the composition, in harmony with the material and the design of the walls.
• Carefully examine the selected products. Are there any chips and scratches on the skeleton, dents on the back or seat. Any defect will be an occasion to refuse to purchase or to reduce the cost if the damage is not too noticeable and simply repaired.

Chairs on a metal frame will be in place in rooms for various purposes: in the kitchen and in the nursery, in the garden and in the cafeteria. Experts advise to focus only on furniture that meets the following requirements:

• a double layer of chrome should be applied to the backbone of the chair - the product will not be covered with rust and will for a long time retain a pleasant shine of polished metal;
• the frame should not have sharp corners that can injure;
• construction components must be firmly connected to each other with quality bolts.

Special care for chairs on the metal frame in the kitchen is not required. It is only necessary at times to wipe them from dirt with a dry cloth and a brush (in inaccessible areas - the bends of the legs or backs), remove spilled juices or water in a timely manner and wash away stains from inadvertently caught food or greasy stains.

Completely metal kitchen chairs come across quite rarely. First, they are expensive, and second, few people like to sit on them: extremely cold. Their seats can be made of different materials and be soft and hard. Nevertheless, in this photo we observe just all-metal products supplemented with thin pads. Their indisputable advantage is that they, like organic glass samples, do not overload the interior.
