<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Complimenting with Curves
A heavy, round table pairs seamlessly with chairs that exhibit curving lines. Swaying backs, rounded corners and ball feet echo the circle shape of the table. Secondarily, generous stuffing and convex seat-backs add another dimension of roundness.
On the Other: Contrasting with Angles
A bold move in highlighting a heavy, round table is partnering it with chairs whose straight lines, and acute angles call attention to the dominant circle of the table. Low backed chairs with little to no upholstering provide seating without stealing the show.
Bottom Line
Regardless of your choice of chair shape, the key is matching the visual "weight" of the chairs and the table. Whether round or angular, chairs serve a heavy table best when they are sturdy and substantial. Also consider that a chair that pulls up to its table awkwardly or one that is uncomfortable is never a good choice. Take time to test chairs for comfort. Consider the height of the chair in relation to your table and how any arms on the chair interact with the table's edge.
