mismatched chairs

What does 'mismatched chairs' mean?
  

Top answer

For chairs in a home or business to ‘match’ they should be of a similar function, colour, style, and size. One or two that stand out as ‘mismatched’ would be used to allow more people to be seated in a group. When two sets of different styled chairs are combined and placed in separate sections, they are referred to as selective seating—as might apply for elderly or handicapped people.
