Dining Room Buying Guide: Tables, Chairs and Sets

The dining room is where your family gathers. Here is how to choose a set that fits your space, your seating needs and your style.

Size the table to the room

Leave 36 inches between the table edge and the wall so chairs can pull out. Round tables fit tight or square rooms; rectangular tables seat more; counter-height sets feel casual and save space.

Plan your seating

Allow 24 inches of width per chair. Benches tuck away and seat extra guests; a table with a leaf extends for holidays and folds down day to day.

Pick a durable finish

Solid wood and quality veneers stand up to daily meals. Performance-fabric seats wipe clean - a smart pick with kids.

Browse dining sets and complete the room.
