Q: What seat depth is typical for a guest chair?

Standard guest chair seat depth is 18"–20". A shallower seat (16"–18") allows shorter users to sit with feet on the floor more easily. Deeper seats (20"–22") accommodate taller users but may cause petite users to sit with their legs dangling or back unsupported. For waiting rooms serving a diverse population, 18"–19" seat depth is the best general specification.
