Scandinavian furniture combines clean lines, light wood finishes and understated design. But first impressions aren’t enough to tell you whether a piece will work in your everyday life. The key things to consider are its dimensions, materials, weight capacity and how you plan to use it.
When shopping for dining chairs, chests of drawers and coffee tables, three common buying mistakes often crop up:
For Scandinavian dining chairs, the seat height should suit your table. As a general guide, people often look for a gap of around 27 to 30 cm between the seat and the tabletop. The right combination will also depend on the thickness of the seat padding, your height and the table’s design.
Also check:
A set of 2 dining chairs can be a good choice for a small dining table, a kitchen seating area or extra seating. Before buying, check whether the chairs can be pushed all the way under the tabletop.
With a Scandinavian chest of drawers, both the overall dimensions and storage space matter. A chest with 3 drawers may suit clothes, documents or home accessories. Check the drawer dimensions, how far the drawers extend and how much wall space you’ll need in the product description.
Upholstered kitchen chairs offer a different experience from unpadded models. Faux leather or plastic surfaces can often be cleaned with a damp cloth. Fabric covers, on the other hand, may be more susceptible to spills and stains.
For chairs with solid wood legs, look out for details such as:
A chest of drawers with a slatted front can add a striking touch thanks to its vertical detailing. However, slats don’t automatically affect the load capacity or the quality of the drawer runners. These details should be listed separately.
For your living room, Scandinavian coffee tables with a compact design are worth considering. Nesting coffee tables can be especially space-saving: you can position them separately or slide some of them underneath one another when they’re not in use.

Check the seat height, width and depth in relation to your dining table. There should also be enough space between the chairs so you can sit down and stand up comfortably. Compact models without armrests are often easier to fit into smaller rooms.
Its lifespan depends on the materials, construction, load and care. Check the screws on chairs regularly and use chests of drawers within their stated load capacity. If a piece of furniture has no specified load limit, take care when placing heavy items on it.
They can save space when you slide the tables together after use. Before buying, check the dimensions of each table, the footprint and the maximum load capacity. The product details for the Mileo set mentioned above don’t specify its maximum load.
