Styling Dining Tables and Chairs

Mix and match

Pair a wood table with velvet chairs, or place two statement chairs at the table ends.

Add a bench

A bench along one side seats more people in less space.

Ground it with a rug

Choose a rug large enough that chairs stay on it when pulled out.

Light it well

Hang a pendant about 30 to 36 inches above the table top for warm, focused light.

Dining Tables and Chairs FAQs

How many chairs fit around my table?

Allow about 24 inches of table width per person so everyone has elbow room. A 48-inch round table seats about four, a 60-inch round table about six, and a 72-inch rectangular table about six. Chairs with arms need a little more space.

What height should dining chairs be?

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 underside of the table, which suits most adults.

Round or rectangular table?

Round tables suit small spaces and square rooms, have no corners to bump into, and make conversation easy. Rectangular tables seat more people, suit long rooms, and work well for larger families and dinner parties.

Are velvet chairs practical?

Yes, velvet dining chairs can be practical with a little care. Vacuum them regularly with an upholstery brush, blot spills immediately rather than rubbing, and choose darker or performance velvet if you have young children.

Do dining chairs need assembly?

Many dining chairs and tables arrive flat-packed to make delivery easier, with tools and instructions included. Check each listing for assembly details, and tighten all screws again after the first week of use.

How do I protect my floors?

Stick felt pads under every chair and table leg to prevent scratches on wood, tile and laminate. Lift chairs rather than dragging them, and replace pads when they wear thin or collect grit.

Counter or bar height stools?

Choose counter stools, with seats about 24 to 26 inches high, for kitchen counters around 36 inches. Choose bar stools, with seats about 28 to 30 inches high, for bars and pub tables around 42 inches.

Can I mix and match chairs?

Yes, mixing chairs adds personality. Keep one element consistent, such as color, material or height, so the look feels intentional rather than random, and make sure all seats suit the table height.

What dining tables and chairs suit small spaces?

Round or folding tables, armless chairs, backless stools that tuck under the table and benches all save space. Glass tops and light colors also help small dining areas feel more open.

Can I use outdoor dining tables and chairs indoors?

Yes, rattan and metal outdoor sets often work well in sunrooms and kitchens. Indoor dining tables and chairs shouldn't be left outside, though, as rain and sun can damage wood, fabric and finishes.

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 dining 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.

Find the Right Dining Tables and Chairs

Choosing dining tables and chairs comes down to three checks: the right size for your room, comfortable chair height, and materials that suit your household. A round table, a set of upholstered chairs and a pair of counter stools cover most homes.
