How many chairs per capita are there in your residence?

In My Humble Opinion
1

My residence is a one bedroom apartment. I live alone, have no significant other or other frequent visitors. The maximum number of people who have been in my apartment at one time is 6- and that was for maybe 20 minutes, I doubt everyone all sat down at once.

I have 11 chairs.

4 ordinary kitchen chairs
4 wooden folding chairs (actually, two sets of two)
1 wooden desk chair
1 recliner and
1 comfy computer/office chair on rollers.
How about you? How many chairs do you have?

You may include lists of couches, loveseats and other furniture which could be used in place of a chair if you feel inclined. No such furniture exists in my apartment.

We have 7 chairs: 4 at the kitchen table, 1 roller-chair at the computer desk, 2 plastic chairs on the deck outside (we used to have another one, but my husband stood on it to climb in the window when we locked ourselves outside and it completely smashed).

We also have 1 sleeper couch.

We have 2 adults and a toddler (and a dog, who is usually taking up 2/3 of the couch).

3

All on my lonesome, I have…one at the computer, one half of the sofa that I sit on, one which I don’t, a big chair that holds my coat and other stuff from walking through the door, two stools unused under a table, and another chair in the bedroom that must be feeling left out.

Nine actual chairs.

2 sofas that seat 3 to 4 each depending on size of the person. (so say 8)

9+8=17

for 4 and 1/2 people (my eldest son only lives here part time)

17/4.5=3.78

Let’s see…per capita would that be 3.78 chairs per human?

4 people

1 rolling computer chair
1 living room set (couch, loveseat, chaise and 2 ottomans - seating for 8, I guess)
6 dining room chairs
4 kitchen chairs
4 folding chairs in the closet

8 resin chairs in the backyard

So, seating for 31, or about 8 chairs per capita

We live in a 3 bedroom house, and we have hosted several large gatherings over the years; if I had to hazard a guess, I would say 45 is the largest number of people we’ve gathered together at our place. We just had 19 over for New Year’s Eve, and my wife was worried that not everyone would be able to sit at the same time.

Okay … living alone in a three bedroom, two bathroom house.

I’m not gonna count my futon, since it’s a bed 90% of the time.

That’s 7 total, for a per capita count of 3.5 chair per person.

Living alone, I have 6 dining room chairs and two sofas. But I always sit on the floor.

Let’s see - I live alone. I have 4 dining room chairs, 8 kitchen chairs, three antique rocking chairs, 2 computer chairs, one old comfy leather lounge chair and one antique chair made by a slave. I think that’s it. Oh - I have 4 chairs on my lawn furniture set. That’s 23. I have a couple love seats stored in my mother’s garage at the moment.
