FAQs
A dining room set is a big investment, so making sure you know everything you can is important. Here are a few questions shoppers have asked.
How do you count the pieces of dining room sets?
When you start shopping for furniture in your dining room, you will notice that many sets have off numbers. This is because a full set includes a single table and chairs. If you are looking for a dining room set for six, you will actually need to search for seven-piece dining room sets. With modern design trends, you might find some dining room sets with benches that can seat six while still only having six pieces.
How do you measure dining room chairs?
There are two things to consider when shopping for dining room chairs: seat height and back height. Many furniture companies will list the back height of chairs, which is how tall the chairs are at their highest point. However, you need to measure the seat height as well. If your seat is too high or low on the table, eating will be uncomfortable for the majority of your guests.
