Folding Chair
Piano Bench
Reading Chair + Foot Stool = 2 seats
Counter Stool
2 Love seat/sofa = 6 seats

Guest room: one, plus an extra beach chair under the bed
Mudroom: beach chair
Basement: two extra kitchen chairs, two old patio chairs
Back yard: two resin “Adirondack” chairs, one chaise longue
Available seating: hell, you do the math.
Largest number I’ve had for a sit-down dinner party: 12.
Largest party I’ve had: I dunno, 25 or 30 people, maybe?
2 people, 3 bedroom house and congratulations on the first thread that ever made me get up offa my butt and physically verify before replying.
7 kitchen chairs
2 wingbacks with ottomans, 1 ginormous sofa and 2 loveseats in the LR, lets say 11 seats
2 computer chairs
1 stray chair in my room
21 for a whopping 10.5 per, wow.
I like hosting family for the holidays and it’s great finally having enough seating for everyone.
I live alone in a 3-bedroom townhouse. I’m usually the only one here.
Upstairs:[ul]
[li]1 desk chair on casters, in computer room[/ul][/li]Main Floor:[ul]
[li]1 big round wicker chair in living room[/li][li]1 couch in living room, seats 3[/li][li]1 black chair in living room, with matching footrest (in living room) that can serve as seating[/li][li]4 dining room chairs[/ul][/li]Basement:[ul]
[li]1 armless desk chair on casters, used for digital piano[/li][li]2 cushionless swivel rocker patio chairs (sort of in storage until I get replacement cushions)[/ul][/li]Grand total: 14 seats per capita. But if you count the folding beach chair that lives in the trunk of my car, I could seat 15 people at any given time.
I used to work in an office that was housed in an estate that used to be a private residence. Number of residents: One. Number of chairs: TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE (yes, we had to inventory them). It boggled the mind. I realize it was a large estate, as far as those things go, but really, this guy must have had a chair fetish. Also, we had to buy more chairs, because the number of chairs that were comfortable to sit on was about TWO.
Personally, we are two adults and one cat. The cat has his own chair.
Cat’s chair: 1
Dining chairs: 2
Sofa seats: 3
Arm chair: 1
Rocking chair: 1
Desk chair: 1
Antique chair that is broken, yet I keep it because one of these days, I’m going to get it re-caned (I’ve been saying this for seven years): 1
Bar stool: 1
Totals:
1 chair per cat
5 chairs per person
We have a real dearth of chairs in the WhyHousehold. In fact, I’m going to have to purchase one suitable for strapping a portable booster seat to in the next year or so.
For three (soon to be four) of us, there’s:
1 rolly chair in the office
1 leather chair w/ ottoman in the office
1 rolly chair at my sewing table
1 folding chair at WhyKid’s desk
erm. That’s it. so 1.33 per capita.
of course, we have more seats, just not chairs. There’s
2 stools in the kitchen and
2 sofas in the living room. Each can hold 3 people if they’re friendly.
so that’s another 8. Which brings us to a grand total of 4 seating possibilities per person.
Stately Mercotan manor, population four, has seating for… Lessee…
… about 65 inside, plus an undetermined number outside. (The edge of our deck is largely made up of bench.)
We like sitting.
12 chairs, 3 people. an even 4 chairs per capita.
Lessee, four dining chairs, two desk chairs, two armchairs and a couch in the living room, a platform rocker in my den, and a folding chair down in the basement. That’s 13 chairs for two people, so 6.5 chairs per capita. Unless you want to count the rotten critters as people. Then it’s six people, so 2.15 chairs per capita.
From the figures given so far with more than one person, you must be constantly fighting over who’s going to sit where.
2 people - 23 chairs (but when my wife is off flying I have them all to myself.
12 chairs in total for 1 person
Let’s see:
4 kitchen chairs
1 bench, we’ll count that as 2 seats
The couch can seat 3
The loveseat can seat 1
1 matching overstuffed chair
2 computer chairs
13/3 = around 4
And that’s not counting Abbie Jr.'s three kid-sized chairs.
4 kitchen chairs.
3 computer chairs.
3 x 3 seater sofas.
4 x 1 seater arm chairs.
2 x 2 seater sofas.
24 ‘seats’ all up.
Divided by 4 people in the house gives me 6 seats per ass
15:1 That must be some sort of record.
Bed room: 2 chairs
Living Room: 4 chairs, 1 piano bench and 2 two seat sofas
Dining/TV Room: 6 chairs and one 4 person sofa
Kitchen: 6 chairs
My computer space (not a room really): 1 chair
Hall: 2 chairs
Daughter’s room 2 chairs (kid size but still)
Guest room 2 chairs.
Counting just chairs that’s 25 and including the sofas that’s 34 seats for 2 adults and one child. So ~8/person or ~11/person.
We have way too many chairs IMO.
There are two of us in a three-bedroom house. We have two recliners (that I can’t remember either of us ever sitting in) and a sofa in the living room , two computer chairs (hers and mine), two chairs at the kitchen table, and a folding chair, plus two or three chairs from the kitchen table set that are in the garage. Plus a piano bench and an organ bench, one being used as a coffee table in the living room, the other as a place to put more stuff to my left here at my computer desk. Largest number of people who have ever been here at once: 6.
I live alone and I have 11 and a futon that folds up to be a 2 seater but is never folded up.
5 dining chairs (God knows where the sixth went)
2 lounge room chairs
2 folding chairs for going out
1 chair on thge upstairs balcony
1 unmade cair from IKEA in a box
Three people living here.
-1 loveseat, seats 2 or three depending.
-2 computer chairs
-1 chair which goes with loveseat
-1 broken comfy chair
-2 kitchen chairs, both ripped, one with a spring poking out and the other patched with a newspaper, these being the reason me and my roommate each brought our own computer chairs.
So around 3 spots to sit for each person. If one doesn’t mind sitting on a broken chair.
Sadly and patheticaly the child and I are currently living in a wee flat under my mother’s house (yes ok so it’s the basement!..I ignore that fact. We are moving SOON). Now I have revealed that horrible fact I muct declare each and every chair.
2 x 2 seater couches (in our basement abode)
3 x dining table chairs (ditto)
1 x computer swively chair, in a vomit inducing shade of BRIGHT green (ditto)
Her upstairs:
6 x dining table chairs
2 x 3 seater couches
1 x 2 seater couch (this one belongs to the dog evidently)
1 x rocking chair
1 x steamer chair on the deck
4 x outside dining table chairs
2 x outside dining table chairs on the other deck
1 x chair-in-bathroom (I don’t know why???)
1 x chair in bedroom (appears to be for resting hairdryer on)
2 x directors chairs (I think the cat is the only one to use these)
1 x 2 seater couch in the spare bedroom
1 x chair at desk
4 x foldy chairs stashed in the garage
I am horrible when it comes to adding but I believe that is 39 places to park ones arse. Far, far too many. I justify the abundance of chairs by only using the vomity green computer chair, one spot on our couch and sometimes one spot on her couch and one dining table chair…or 2 if we wander up there for dinner. It appears my mother has a chair addiction.
These are my chair confessions. I feel like a basement-dweller now. Just be pleased I never posted why I am a basement dweller.
Did you do that from memory, or walk around?
