Selecting the Right Seat for Your Space

-
Finish Coordination: Match or contrast the finish of your table or surround to create visual harmony.
-
Material & Comfort: Upholstered seats add softness; wood backs and clean silhouettes suit design-forward spaces.
-
Durability & Use: Choose seating that can handle game-night traffic—strong frames, quality upholstery, comfort and longevity.
Explore our curated seating options in-store or online and we’ll help you find the perfect fit for your room and lifestyle.

When selecting furniture, consider:
-
Purpose: Casual entertaining, family game night, or competitive play.
-
Space: How many players you host and how much clearance you need.
-
Finish: Match or contrast with your table, flooring, or cabinetry.
-
Flexibility: Convertible designs make one space do double duty.
