We love a rustic <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/kitchen-dining/dining-chairs-benches-kitchen-dining?page=1&amp;view=grid&amp;sort=featured&amp;items=24&amp;shape=511">dining room bench</a> as much as any intrepid redecorator, but if you're looking for easy living, there's nothing as accommodating as a set of swivel dining chairs. It puts our head in a spin just thinking about it. 
 
These chairs mean less standing and more swiveling. And after a long day, we could all use that extra relaxation. But, if you have mobility issues or have a frequent visitor with mobility issues, like an elderly relative, swivel dining chairs go from a luxury to a necessity.
 
It's easier to get in and out of a swivel chair because you don't need to scoot back or risk your chair legs getting stuck on the edge of an area rug. That also makes these pieces ideal for small spaces where there's not a lot of room to scoot chairs in and out. With swivel seats, everything is easy — you're in, you spin, you stand.  
 
So, when it comes to convenience, there's no chair that compares. And when it comes to design? Let's just say you won't have to sacrifice style points to get your swivel on. Check out our favorite chairs — organized by the height of your dining table — and start swiveling in style.  
<h2>Swivel dining chairs for standard dining tables</h2>
We promise we're not throwing shade at your dining table — we're sure your home decor is far above standard, but for our purposes, a standard <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/kitchen-dining/dining-tables-kitchen-dining">dining table</a> is any table that falls between 28 and 30 inches tall. Standard <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/kitchen-dining/dining-chairs-benches-kitchen-dining">dining chairs</a> are typically around 18 to 20 inches tall at the top of the seat. Here are our favorite swivel styles to fit your standard dining dimensions. 
<h3>Abby Flare Arm Side Chair in Light Grey and Chrome</h3>
Pictured above, <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/abby-flare-arm-side-chair-light-grey-and-chrome">this dining armchair</a> is ready to complete your mid-century modern or contemporary dining space. With the comfortable, wide bucket seat, low arms, and tall backrest, you can settle in for a <a href="https://www.eataly.com/us_en/magazine/eataly-stories/meet-slow-food/">slow food experience</a>. No more fast food in this house — that extra cushion will make you want to linger no matter what's for dinner. 
 
This chair features metal legs and a 360-degree swivel base. The grey upholstery has a honeycomb quilted back for a look that exudes modern elegance from every angle. 
<h3>Channeled Tufted Swivel Chair in Rose and Gold </h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/channeled-tufted-swivel-chair-rose-and-gold"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169598" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/rose-gold-chair.png" alt="swivel dining chairs: Channeled Tufted Swivel Chair Rose And Gold" width="1763" height="1999" /></a>
 
With a seat height of 19 inches, <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/channeled-tufted-swivel-chair-rose-and-gold">this swivel accent chair</a> is begging for a place at the table. Rehome it from the living room and let it shine as a dining room end chair. 
 
The <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/gallery/art-deco-rooms-slideshow">art deco design</a> — with rose velvet upholstery, a gold metal base, and channel tufting — invites you to channel your inner flapper or bootlegger. Pour yourself a champagne cocktail, sit back, and admire your decadent dining furniture.   
<h3>Upholstered Office Chair With Nailhead in Blue and Brass </h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/upholstered-office-chair-with-nailhead-blue-and-brass"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169594" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/blue-office-chair.png" alt="swivel dining chairs: Upholstered Office Chair With Nailhead Blue And Brass" width="1999" height="1964" /></a>
 
If you ask us, that blue velvet upholstery, button tufting, and brass nailhead finish shouldn't be hidden away in a home office. <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/upholstered-office-chair-with-nailhead-blue-and-brass">This hardworking desk chair</a> is ready to be promoted to dining side chair.  
 
Office chairs have two standard features that dining room chairs do not: They're adjustable, and they have casters. A caster chair is even more maneuverable than a standard swivel chair because it allows you to roll and turn. You'll appreciate that maneuverability at your dining table as much as you do at your desk.  
<h2>Swivel dining chairs for counter height dining tables</h2>
Let's take things up a notch with counter height tables and chairs. If you have a <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/kitchen-dining/counter-height-tables-kitchen-dining">counter height table</a>, you'll be sitting a little higher than you would at a standard table. From a <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/c/kitchen-dining/counter-height-chairs-stools-kitchen-dining">counter height dining chair</a>, your feet won't touch the ground, but the chair will typically have a foot rest, so you won't be left hangin'. 
 
Counter height tables range from 34 to 36 inches tall, and counter height chairs are typically between 24 and 27 inches tall at the top of the seat. Here are our top swivel dining chairs for these taller tables. 
<h3>Upholstered Swivel Counter Height Stool in Black </h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/upholstered-swivel-counter-height-stool-black"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169593" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/black-chair.png" alt="swivel dining chairs: Upholstered Swivel Counter Height Stool Black" width="1999" height="1999" /></a>
 
&nbsp;
 
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/upholstered-swivel-counter-height-stool-black">This armless swivel chair</a> reminds us of a summer garden party — the scroll work on the metal frame creates the impression of a trellis and makes us want to sip mint juleps and plan our next vacay. 
 
The faux-leather upholstered seat is easy to wipe clean (because every summer party is bound to have a few spills), and it features a high-quality cushion to keep you comfy through hours of conversation.
<h3>Upholstered Swivel Counter Height Stools in Chestnut and Black </h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/upholstered-swivel-counter-height-stools-chestnut-and-black-set-of-2"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169601" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/armless-stool-chair.png" alt="swivel dining chairs: Upholstered Swivel Counter Height Stools Chestnut And Black" width="1999" height="1999" /></a>
 
Don't let the formal appearance fool you — you don't have to bring your best manners to feel comfortable in <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/upholstered-swivel-counter-height-stools-chestnut-and-black-set-of-2">this counter height chair</a>. With that same wipe-clean, faux-leather upholstery on both the seats or backrest, this swivel stool can take on a rambunctious dining room or messy kitchen island. 
 
The wood legs angle out to allow for a classic round brace where you can rest your feet. And with its timeless style, this chair will help you kick up your feet time and time again. 
<h3>Swivel Counter Height Stool in Cognac and Antique Black </h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/swivel-counter-height-stool-cognac-and-antique-black"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169596" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/brown-stool-chair.png" alt="Swivel Counter Height Stool Cognac And Antique Black" width="1999" height="1999" /></a>
 
For your <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/guide-to-rustic-style">rustic farmhouse</a> or <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/add-an-industrial-edge-to-any-space">industrial loft design</a>, the legs and seat of <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/swivel-counter-height-stool-cognac-and-antique-black">this stool</a> are hand brushed — giving it that natural worn-in look. 
 
This low-back dining chair offers more support than a traditional stool. And the solid wood seat provides a warm, natural contrast to the cool metal legs. Pair it with a rustic wood and metal counter-height table to complete your dining set. 
<h2>Swivel dining chairs for bar height dining tables </h2>
This is the tallest table of them all. For anyone who wants to survey the dining room (and any surrounding rooms) for naughty pets or curious kiddos, a bar height table will give you a clear view. Those naughty pets will also be less likely to swipe food off the table when you opt for extra tall. 
 
A bar height table is 40 to 42 inches high. The accompanying chairs are typically 28 to 33 inches tall at the top of the seat. These are our favorite swivel chairs that meet those dimensions.
<h3>Upholstered Swivel Bar Stool in Black and Warm Brown</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/upholstered-swivel-bar-stool-black-and-warm-brown"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169595" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/brown-chair-1.png" alt="Upholstered Swivel Bar Stool Black And Warm Brown" width="1999" height="1751" /></a>
 
Classy and classic, <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/upholstered-swivel-bar-stool-black-and-warm-brown">this swivel armchair</a> has a wood frame with curved wooden armrests. The padded, faux-rattan backrest and thickly cushioned, faux-leather upholstered seat will keep you comfortable through long dinner parties. 
 
And with its traditional design, this chair just might inspire you to host more traditional dinner parties — or at least a cocktail hour to break in the new chairs. The swivel seat will make it easier for everyone to pass the hors d'oeuvres. 
<h3>Upholstered Adjustable Height Bar Stools in Black and Chrome </h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/upholstered-adjustable-height-bar-stools-black-and-chrome-set-of-2"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169592" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/black-and-white-chair.png" alt="Upholstered Adjustable Height Bar Stools Black And Chrome" width="1999" height="1918" /></a>
 
If traditional isn't your style, spend a little time with this modern design instead. The curvy figure on <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/upholstered-adjustable-height-bar-stools-black-and-chrome-set-of-2">this bar height stool</a> cradles your lower back, and the adjustable height ensures that everyone — from your tallest to your smallest guest — can take control of their own comfort. 
 
But, this chair isn't offering comfort like an old pair of sneakers. It's more like a little black dress —  ready for a night on the town with its black faux-leather upholstery and chrome pedestal base.
<h3>Adjustable Height Swivel Bar Stools in Brushed Nutmeg and Slate Grey</h3>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/adjustable-height-swivel-bar-stools-brushed-nutmeg-and-slate-grey-set-of-2"><img style="width:100%;" style="width:100%;" class="alignnone wp-image-169600" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/stool-chairs-with-a-table.png" alt="Adjustable Height Swivel Bar Stools Brushed Nutmeg And Slate Grey" width="1672" height="1999" /></a>
 
Pair <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/adjustable-height-swivel-bar-stools-brushed-nutmeg-and-slate-grey-set-of-2">this two-chair set</a> with <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/adjustable-swivel-bar-table-brushed-nutmeg">the matching swivel bar table</a> for the ultimate in swivel power. Not only can you turn your chairs for easy conversation, but you can also turn your table to pass the snacks and drinks. 
 
With their adjustable height and rustic, vintage charm, these stools can complete your farmhouse decor. And the combination of the small table and two-chair set makes this piece a perfect addition to a dynamic duo's dining space. 
<h2>Your swivel chariot awaits</h2>
Swivel dining chairs are a great addition to any home. They're easy to get in and out of, they don't need to be scooted back and forth over your area rug, and they allow you to turn and listen to the conversation. 
 
But, every swivel chair is a little different. Aside from there being a variety of heights (even within a single height category), the amount of swivel can vary. Each chair will also offer a different comfort level for your personal needs, and some come with additional features like casters or an adjustable height. 
 
The best way to find the swivel dining chair that's right for you is to <a href="https://storelocator.coasterfurniture.com/">visit a local furniture retailer</a> and try the chairs out for yourself. That way, you'll know you're bringing home <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/">furniture you'll love</a>.
