Comparison Halmar K-309 vs Vetro N-20-8

Seat upholstery material.

— Fabric. Quite popular modern material for upholstery. The fabric can vary in composition (natural, synthetic, combined), have different density, texture, colour and pattern, which allows you to provide options for almost every taste. Such upholstery is generally pleasant to the touch, in most cases it does not wear out, does not require special care (unlike leather) and is generally inexpensive. Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting the sensitivity to pollution: liquids are easily absorbed into the fabric, and removing stains from it can be quite difficult. However, this shortcoming can hardly be classified as critical.

— Leatherette. Synthetic material that imitates natural leather to a certain extent. The degree of similarity can be different, depending on the price category and the overall quality of leatherette: inexpensive varieties are similar only “from afar”, advanced ones can be almost indistinguishable even by touch. The main advantage of this material over leather is its low cost; in addition, it does not require special care. On the other hand, leatherette is less durable and wears out faster; however, here everything, again, is highly dependent on the price category and the overall quality of the material.

— Fabric or leatherette. This option means that the product is available in two upholstery options — fabric or leatherette....See above for details on each of these materials.

— Skin. Genuine leather is considered a premium material: it is not cheap, but it gives the furniture a solid appearance that emphasizes the overall richness of the situation. To the touch, this material is pleasant to most users, but there are exceptions (some feel that the skin is “sticky”). Leather products are quite durable, but they may require special treatment to prevent drying and cracking.

Seat height from the ground. In most modern chairs and stools, this height is 48 - 50 cm - this value is considered suitable for adults of almost any physique. Bar stools are often made taller - up to 90 cm or even more; this is due to the specifics of the application. Such products can be height adjustable.

The material used for the upholstery of the back (if any).

— Fabric. Quite popular modern material for upholstery. The fabric can vary in composition (natural, synthetic, combined), have different density, texture, colour and pattern, which allows you to choose an option for almost every taste. Such upholstery is generally pleasant to the touch, does not wash off (unlike leatherette), does not require special care (unlike leather) and is generally inexpensive. Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting the sensitivity to liquid contaminants: liquids are easily absorbed into the fabric and stains appear on it, which can be quite difficult to remove. However, this shortcoming can hardly be classified as critical.

Note that there are quite a few models where the back has no upholstery at all. The material of the back, usually, corresponds to the material of the seat (see above).

The height of the back of the chair relative to the seat. In modern chairs, this height is most often not particularly large — from 30 to 60 cm. At the same time, backs less than 40 cm high are actually purely symbolic — they provide almost no support for the back. An indicator of 40 – 50 cm is average, and a person of average height can lean on the back of more than 50 cm with almost his entire back.

The overall height of the chair is from the floor to the top. In models without backrest, this dimension actually corresponds to the height of the seat (see above). If there is a back, it determines the overall dimensions of the chair; this information is rarely required, mainly for storage or transport.
