Planning Your Dining Room Furniture

Great dining room furniture balances comfort, storage and style. Start with the table and chairs, add storage like a sideboard for dishes and linens, then finish with lighting and decor. Measuring first makes sure everything fits and leaves room to move.

If you add a rug, choose one large enough that chairs stay on it when pulled out.

Furniture Safety

The CPSC's Anchor It! campaign advises that anchoring all furniture with drawers, doors and shelves to the wall prevents tip-over injuries and deaths. Use the anti-tip kits supplied with sideboards and cabinets, place heavier items on lower shelves, and keep tempting items off high surfaces where children might climb.

How to Choose Dining Room Furniture

  1. Measure your room, leaving about 36 inches around the table.
  2. Choose a table shape and size for your space and household.
  3. Pick chairs at the right height for your table.
  4. Add storage with a sideboard or buffet.
  5. Check materials: solid wood, veneer, metal or glass.
  6. Check assembly requirements and delivery dimensions.
  7. Anchor tall storage pieces to the wall.

Caring for Dining Room Furniture

  • Use coasters and placemats to protect table tops.
  • Wipe spills quickly from wood and fabric.
  • Dust wood furniture with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Vacuum upholstered chairs regularly.
  • Tighten screws and fittings on chairs every few months.
  • Keep wood away from direct heat and sunlight.

Dining Room Furniture FAQs

How much space do I need around a dining table?

Allow about 36 inches between the table edge and walls or other furniture, so people can pull out chairs and walk behind seated guests. In tight rooms, a round table or a bench on one side can save space.

How many chairs fit at my table?

Allow about 24 inches of table width per person so everyone has elbow room. A 72-inch rectangular table typically seats six, while a 48-inch round table comfortably seats four. Chairs with arms need a little more space.

What chair height do I need?

For a standard 28- to 30-inch dining table, choose chairs with a seat height of about 17 to 19 inches. That leaves roughly 10 to 12 inches between the seat and the table top, which is comfortable for most adults.

Should I anchor my sideboard?

Yes, the CPSC's Anchor It! campaign advises anchoring furniture with drawers, doors and shelves to the wall to prevent tip-overs. Use the anti-tip kit supplied, or buy one separately, especially in homes with young children.

Counter or bar height stools?

Choose counter-height stools, with seats around 24 to 26 inches, for counters around 36 inches high. Choose bar-height stools, with seats around 28 to 30 inches, for bars and tall tables around 42 inches high.

Do dining chairs need assembly?

Many dining chairs, tables and sideboards arrive flat-packed and need simple assembly with the tools supplied. Check each listing for assembly details, and tighten all fittings again after a week of use.

How do I protect a wood table?

Use placemats, coasters and trivets under hot dishes, wipe spills quickly with a soft cloth, and keep the table out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Dust regularly and avoid harsh cleaners on wood finishes.

Are velvet chairs easy to clean?

Vacuum velvet chairs regularly with an upholstery brush, and blot spills straight away with a damp cloth rather than rubbing. Check the care label for specific advice, and consider washable seat covers for busy homes.

How do I mix and match dining chairs?

Keep one element consistent, such as color, material or height, so mismatched dining chairs still look intentional. Placing two statement chairs at the ends of the table with simpler chairs along the sides is a popular approach.

What dining room furniture suits small spaces?

Round or drop-leaf tables, armless chairs, benches that tuck under the table and slim sideboards make the most of small dining areas. Glass-top tables and light colors also help a small room feel more open.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders arrive within 6 to 32 business days of being placed. That covers 1 to 2 business days of handling and 5 to 30 business days in transit. Standard shipping is free on every order, and we currently ship to US addresses only.

Can I return furniture?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery, if the item is new, unused and in its original packaging. Email support@globalswanky.com with your order number, the product name and the reason for the return, then wait for return instructions. There's no restocking fee.
