Dining rooms are where memories are made. From friendly get-togethers to holiday dinners, and all occasions in between, dining room furniture should be special to help you remember each individual event. Breuners carries tables to suit everyone’s style. When shopping for a table, think of the space the table will occupy. Will the table suit the location, and will it fit in the space? A formal dining room, informal dining room, or a kitchen needs to be large enough to allow adequate space for comfort without crowding. We recommend you allocate twenty-four to thirty inches for each person seated at the table. Please keep this factor in mind when shopping for dining room furniture sets. Industry standards suggest that the table height should be between twenty-nine inches and thirty-one inches.
Selecting the correct table size and shape for dining room furniture should be based on the following criteria. The overall dimensions of the room, the size of your family, your lifestyle and your family’s entertaining needs are essential factors to remember in your selection process. When considering round tables, a thirty-six inch table will seat two people, a forty-two inch table will accommodate four, and a fifty-six inch table will provide room for eight. Square tables of thirty-six inches will have room for four, and a sixty inch table will provide enough space for eight. Rectangular or oval tables measuring 36”x60 will hold six people while 36”x84” will seat up to eight. Larger tables such as 48”x96” and 48”x132” will have the capacity to seat ten to twelve people, respectively.
When deciding on chairs for your dining room furniture, consider the design and construction. A well designed dining chair built with quality materials will last for many years of use. Dining room chairs should have fairly upright backs so that you and your dining guests may pull in close to the table and still benefit from the support of the chair back. The seat and armrests should be ergonomically correct and fit under the table skirt to insure a pleasurable dining experience.
Be sure to follow the manufacturers’ recommendations to clean and care for your new dining room furniture set, insuring many years of use. Finally, whatever size, shape, style or design you choose for your dining room furniture, remember that many of life’s memories of home, friends and family are made around the dinner table. Keep these factors in mind when you shop for dining room furniture sets. After all, a dining room is one of the most important rooms in your lovely home.
