Upholstered dining side chair with sloping back
Free CAD block from the Dining tables with chairs library (86 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Upholstered dining side chair with sloping back, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, all three projected from its 3D model so they match to the millimeter. It measures 17½" wide, 23½" deep and 2' 10" high (45 cm × 60 cm × 86 cm), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Dining tables with chairs library: 86 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
A loose upholstered side chair for a dining table, a kitchen table or a meeting table, drawn on its own so a layout can take any number of seats and a spare chair against the wall.
Clearances to leave
It is 17½ in (45 cm) wide and 23½ in (60 cm) deep, with the seat at 18 in (46 cm) and the top of the back at 34 in (86 cm). Allow 24 in (60 cm) of table edge per chair and 36 in (90 cm) from the table edge to a wall so the chair pulls out and the guest can rise.
Pairs with
It is the chair of Round dining table for six with box chairs, so it matches that set. Any table about 29½ in (75 cm) high suits it.

Is there a 3D model of this block?
Yes. A 3D model built from this block's drawings, 17½" wide, 23½" deep and 2' 10" high, is free to download in STEP, DXF 3D, OBJ, GLB, 3MF and STL. It is a closed part, so it also prints at 1:50 or 1:100 for a scale model.

Checks

Design notes
- Pendant 2' 4" to 2' 9" above the table lights the plates without blocking the view across.
- A pendant cluster should be about half to two thirds the length of the table.
- Dining chairs need a seat about 12" below the table top for legroom.
