Dining room furniture takes more abuse than most people account for when buying it. Chairs that get pulled out and pushed in multiple times a day, tables that get bumped, spilled on, wiped down daily, and occasionally moved — they need to be built for active family use, not just for looking good on a showroom floor.
We carry dining sets from Ashley, sized for a range of rooms. A few things that matter in a dining table selection that often get overlooked:
Table size versus room size.
The standard guideline is 36 inches of clearance from the table edge to any wall or obstruction — enough for a person to sit comfortably and push back without hitting the wall. A 60-inch table in a 10×10 dining room doesn’t leave that clearance. We’ll talk through your room dimensions before recommending a table size.
Extension leaves.
Most of our dining tables are available with extension leaf options. If you have a smaller household but host family gatherings, a table that extends from 60 inches to 84 inches is more practical than a permanently large table that dominates the room year-round.
Chair construction.
Dining chairs take significant stress at the leg joints where they connect to the seat frame. Mortise-and-tenon joinery at those connection points is more durable than corner block construction. We can show you the difference in our floor models.
We carry buffets and sideboards from Ashley for customers who need additional storage and surface space in a dining room. Bar furniture — bar carts, bar cabinets, pub tables and stools — is available through our Accent Furniture selection for customers whose space functions as both a dining area and an entertainment space.
