Dining sets for how you really live

A dining set takes the guesswork out of furnishing a dining room — table and chairs designed to go together, in matching finishes and the right proportions, so you can order once and be done. Our range covers compact two- and four-seater sets for kitchens and flats, roomy six- and eight-seaters for family gatherings, and extending designs that flex from everyday to dinner-party in seconds, in oak, painted, marble-effect and upholstered options.

Below is straightforward advice on choosing the right size, shape and seating for your space and household — with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every set.

How many seats do you need?

Think about everyday use first and occasional guests second. A four-seater suits couples and small families and fits most kitchens. A six-seater is the sweet spot for family life with room for visitors. Choose an eight-seater or an extending set if you regularly host. Allow roughly 60cm of table width per person so everyone has comfortable elbow room, and don't forget the carver-style chairs some sets include at the ends.

Choosing a table shape

  • Rectangular — the most sociable and space-efficient for four or more, and the natural fit for a longer room.
  • Round — easy to gather around and great for conversation, ideal for square rooms and smaller numbers.
  • Square — neat and intimate for four, and tidy in a compact or square kitchen.
  • Extending — the best of both worlds: compact day to day, then longer when family and friends come round.

Measuring your space

Leave at least 90–100cm between the edge of the table and the nearest wall or furniture, so chairs can pull out and people can pass behind comfortably. Measure your room before you choose, and if space is tight, look at round tables (no corners to catch) or an extending set you can keep compact most of the time. For open-plan kitchen-diners, a set that visually matches your units keeps the space feeling calm.

Chairs, materials and comfort

Set chairs shape both the look and the comfort of your meals. Upholstered and padded chairs invite lingering over long lunches; wooden and moulded chairs are hard-wearing and wipe clean around children. On tables, solid and oak-effect wood is warm and durable, painted finishes suit country and coastal rooms, and glass or marble-effect tops feel light and contemporary. If your household is busy, look for easy-clean surfaces and removable, washable seat pads.

Dining sets — frequently asked questions

What size dining set should I buy?

Base it on everyday use, then allow for guests. A four-seater suits couples and small families, a six-seater is ideal for family life with visitors, and an eight-seater or extending set is best if you host often. Allow around 60cm of table width per person.

How much space do I need around a dining table?

Leave at least 90–100cm between the table edge and the nearest wall or furniture, so chairs pull out easily and people can walk behind seated guests comfortably.

Are round or rectangular dining tables better?

Rectangular tables seat more and use space efficiently, making them great for larger families and longer rooms. Round tables are more sociable and have no corners, which suits smaller numbers and square or compact rooms.

Do your dining sets come with matching chairs?

Yes — our dining sets are sold as a coordinated table and chairs in matching finishes, so everything arrives designed to go together. The exact number of chairs is listed on each product.

Are extending dining tables worth it?

They're ideal if your space is limited most of the time but you occasionally need to seat more. You keep a compact footprint day to day and extend in seconds when family or friends come round.

How are dining sets delivered, and can I return one?
