Sharing a meal with your family around a lovely dining room set is one of life’s simple pleasures. Unlike breakfast bars, a dining set offers enough space for multiple shared dishes and can help foster conversation due to the seating arrangement. We’ve gathered a collection of our favorite dining sets for your home, whether you want something modern, classic, or rustic. Read on to check out our favorites.
Vecelo dining table with four chairs
A minimalist look
Fine lines and metallic finishes keep this set from taking over a room.
Pros:
- Tempered glass top
- Easy to clean
- Black and silver finish options
Cons:
- Only suits modern decor
If you already have decor lining the walls of your dining area, then you may not want a table that adds another heavy element to the room. This option from Vecelo has a glass top on the 30-inch-high table, which creates the illusion of taking up less space. There are four chairs included that have a 16.75-inch-high seat.
Best Choice Products dining table set
Art Deco flair for mealtime
Moody black finish with a shiny glass top.
Pros:
- Dark but not overwhelming
- Comfortable chairs
Cons:
- PU leather may damage easily
The four chairs that come with this set from Best Choice Products are lined with PU leather padding and have curved backrests, making them more comfortable than flat options. While the table legs are squared-off, the chair legs all taper near the bottom, keeping them from looking too heavy in this dark shade. All of the framing is made of steel, and the tabletop is made with stain-resistant glass.
New Classic Furniture round dining set
Hidden shelf for extra items
Subtle patterns elevate this set's style.
Pros:
- Friendly shape for all room layouts
- Heavy table built to last
- Visually interesting patterns
Cons:
- Limited leg room
A round table can make use of awkward room angles while providing plenty of space for your meals. This option from New Classic has a beautiful chevron burst pattern on the tabletop veneer that’s available in three colors. The chairs come in fabric and faux leather and support up to 250 pounds.
Best Choice Products wooden modern dining set
Table and bench have hidden shelves
Room to store extra napkins or other dining items.
Pros:
- High weight capacity
- More storage for small rooms
- Steel frame
Cons:
- Pattern may peel at edges
Add a touch of rustic charm or match your current decor with this faux wood table. You'll enjoy how the rich tones will add warmth to your dining area and offer storage for extra plates or baskets without taking up table space. This dining set can also support more weight per chair and bench than most other options.
Meal time
Why you can trust Real Homes
Which dining set do you envision your family sitting at for meals? While all of these options are good choices, our favorite is the Vecelo dining table with four chairs. We like this one best because it allows you to add a table that can seat four people without overwhelming the room’s decor. It’s also incredibly easy to clean because foods will simply wipe off the glass when you’re finished eating.
