Choosing Dining Room Furniture

Begin by measuring the complete room rather than the space where the table will sit. Account for chairs when they are pulled out, doors and cupboards opening, nearby walkways and other furniture.

Consider these points before ordering:

• Room dimensions: Record the usable length and width after allowing for doors, skirting boards and fixed features.
• Table shape: Rectangular, round and square tables use space differently and influence how people move around the room.
• Seating capacity: Check the table dimensions and recommended seating arrangement rather than relying only on a general seater description.
• Chair dimensions: Compare the chair width, depth and height with both the table and available floor space.
• Seat height: Confirm that there is comfortable clearance between the chair seat and the underside of the tabletop.
• Materials: Care requirements differ between timber, engineered board, metal, glass, fabric, velvet and synthetic upholstery.
• Assembly: Tables, chairs and storage furniture may arrive in separate packages and require different levels of assembly.
• Weight capacity: Review the stated capacity of each table, chair, shelf or cabinet rather than assuming one rating applies across the range.

Dimensions, materials and product inclusions vary. Always check the individual listing before ordering, particularly when combining furniture from different collections.

Dining Furniture for Different Spaces

Dining Tables

The dining table usually establishes the layout of the room. Our dining tables include round, rectangular, square and extendable options in different sizes and finishes.

Round tables can support conversation and avoid projecting corners, while rectangular designs can work well in longer rooms. Extendable tables provide additional surface space when required, but sufficient clearance is needed in both their standard and extended configurations.

Where possible, allow approximately 90cm between the table edge and nearby walls or furniture so chairs can be moved and people can pass. More space may be required in busy walkways or accessible dining areas.

Dining Chairs

Explore our dining chairs in upholstered, timber, metal and mixed-material designs. Products may be sold individually or in sets, so confirm the quantity shown in the package contents.

When matching chairs to a table, compare the seat height with the underside of the tabletop and check whether armrests will fit beneath it. A visually suitable chair may still be uncomfortable if its width, height or armrests are incompatible with the table.

Complete Dining Sets

Our dining sets combine a table with a specified number of coordinating chairs. They can simplify the selection process because the main pieces are designed to work together.

Do not assume that every photographed accessory is included. Check the package contents for the exact table and chair quantity, and confirm how many cartons will be delivered.

Buffets and Sideboards

Dining storage can keep tableware, serving pieces, linens and suitable household items organised. Browse our buffets and sideboards for cabinets in different widths, finishes and internal layouts.

Measure the wall area as well as the depth needed to open doors and drawers. Tall or tip-prone cabinets should be secured using a suitable anti-tip restraint and wall fixings appropriate for the wall construction.

Bar Stools and Casual Dining

For kitchen islands, breakfast counters and home bar areas, explore our bar stools. Fixed-height and adjustable models are available across the range.

Measure from the floor to the underside of the counter and compare that measurement with the stool’s actual seat height. Allow approximately 25–30cm between the seat and the underside of the surface for comfortable legroom.

Dining Furniture for Smaller Homes

A compact table, round pedestal design or smaller dining set can help create a practical eating area in an apartment or limited room. Consider furniture that allows chairs to tuck beneath the tabletop when they are not being used.

Before selecting an extendable table for a small space, measure it in the fully extended position. Ensure that the additional length does not block a doorway or leave insufficient space for chairs and movement.

Buffets and sideboards can add valuable storage, but their door and drawer clearance must be included in the room plan. A narrower cabinet may be more practical than a deeper design in a busy walkway.

Measuring for Dining Tables and Chairs

Table seating capacity depends on the shape, leg position and width available to each person. As a general planning guide, allow approximately 55–60cm of table-edge space per diner, then compare that estimate with the manufacturer’s recommended capacity.

Consider these measurements:

• Complete tabletop length, width or diameter
• Table height and underside clearance
• Space between table legs or supports
• Chair width, depth and seat height
• Chair depth when pulled away from the table
• Armrest height where applicable
• Extended table dimensions
• Clear walking space around the complete setting

Also measure doorways, hallways, staircases and lifts along the delivery route. Some tabletops, cabinets or assembled sections may be too large to pass through restricted access points.

Materials and Everyday Care

Care requirements depend on the individual materials and finish. Follow the instructions supplied with your furniture and test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Timber and Timber-Look Surfaces

Wipe spills promptly and avoid leaving wet or hot items directly on the surface. Use placemats, coasters and heat-resistant trivets where appropriate. Engineered timber and paper or melamine finishes should not be treated as solid timber.

Glass and Marble-Look Tables

Use suitable surface protection and avoid striking the tabletop with hard or sharp objects. A marble-look finish is decorative and should not be described or cared for as natural marble unless the specifications confirm genuine stone.

Do not assume that glass is tempered unless the individual product listing expressly states this.

Upholstered Dining Chairs

Vacuum fabric gently and address spills according to the upholstery-care instructions. Cleaning methods suitable for polyester, velvet, faux linen, sherpa or PU leather may differ.

Metal Frames and Legs

Keep metal components dry and clean them with a soft cloth. Periodically check assembly fasteners, especially when chairs and tables are used regularly.

Assembly and Dining Furniture Safety

Follow the supplied assembly instructions and use every required fixing, brace and floor protector. Do not use tables, chairs or cabinets until assembly is complete and all connections have been checked.

• Place furniture on a firm, level surface.
• Never exceed the stated table, chair, shelf or cabinet capacity.
• Do not stand or climb on dining chairs or tables.
• Do not drag heavy furniture across flooring.
• Secure tall or tip-prone storage furniture to a suitable wall.
• Keep children away from open drawers and extendable mechanisms.
• Keep fingers clear of hinges, runners and table-extension mechanisms.
• Recheck fasteners periodically and tighten them when required.
• Stop using furniture that becomes unstable or structurally damaged.

Wall construction varies, and supplied anti-tip hardware may not suit every installation. If you are uncertain about the correct fixing method, consult a suitably qualified installer.
