Dining

Dining furniture takes more daily wear than anything else in the house, so buy for the use it will get. Solid wood and laminate handle meals and homework; glass and marble effect look sharper but show every mark; upholstered chair seats are comfortable but want a wipe-clean finish where children eat.Size it by two numbers – roughly 60cm of table edge per person, and 90cm to 100cm of clear floor behind each chair so people can get out without moving the table. Round tables squeeze in an extra person and suit square rooms; rectangular tables suit narrow ones and take a bench down one side, the cheapest way to add seats.This section covers tables, chairs, complete sets, benches, bar tables and stools in oak, painted wood, glass and marble effect.
