I would love to use two benches (below) with cushions on them, but are they too short? I will be using a standard sized kitchen table. The benches are 16" in height.

Thanks!

Standard kitchen tables are 30 inches high. standard chairs are 18 - 19 inches. The skirt board that goes around the bottom of the table top varies with manufactures, and effects leg room. Average leg room needed is 8 inches. Measure this from top of chair seat to bottom of skirting. Don't forget cushion thickness, as you need the 8 inches to top of cushion, if you use cushions on top of chairs.

New vynil for vintage kitchen chairs...?
Another Ti
Hi...We have 4 1950's vynil & chrome kitchen chairs. I'm wondering how much (just a ball park figure) it would run us to have them redone with new vynil. Anyone know of any websites where I can find out? Thanks. :)

If my memory is correct chairs like that have a seat that screws onto the frame of the chair, would actually be pretty easy to do yourself. You can buy foam padding and vinyl at a fabric store. Turn the chair upside down and unscrew the screws holding the seat on, there should be staples holding the vinyl on, pull them out. Now you should have a wood? base, pad and a sheet of vinyl.Use the old sheet of vinyl as a guide to measure the new. Use the old pad as a guide to measure the new pad too. Put it all together as before with the new materials, re-staple and screw back on.
As far as price I am not really sure I am guessing vinyl is going to set you back about 12 dollars a yard. Foam padding is pretty inexpensive, around 4-5 dollars per chair.
If you do it yourself there is no labor charge and you do not have to take the chairs anywhere.
Good Luck and have fun.
