I am building a custom height dinning room table to match my height of 6' 2". The table will be high enough so that I can sit in a chair that fits me - one where my legs are fully supported. I figure that the chair seat height will need to be around 21" from the floor.
My question is in regards to the chairs. I prefer to buy rather than build the chairs. Seems that standard height is around 18". I can find bar stools and "cabinet" height chairs taller than what I need and considered just cutting them down but the problem are the spindles between the legs. Most of them have a spindle in the front such that if you cut down the legs then the spindle is almost on the floor.
I was hoping that someone on the forum had already solved this problem (i.e. finding taller chairs to fit a custom table) and could share their ideas/advise.
Remember, these are for a dinning room table. We don't like too fancy, but also do want them to look nice in a dinning room (i.e. want a back that is higher rather than shorter, etc.)
Thanks.
