Modern Dining Sets

Modern dining table set sizes

Match the set to how many people eat at home most nights. Drop-leaf sets for 2 or 4 fold down against a wall in an apartment, and the 34 inch square table seats 4 in a breakfast nook. Round extendable tables open to an oval for guests. For a full dining room, 57 to 80 inch rectangular and oval tables seat 6. Allow about 36 inches between the table edge and the wall so chairs slide out easily.

Modern dining table set for 6

Sets for six come as 7 piece sets with six chairs, or 6 piece sets that swap two chairs for a bench that tucks under the table. The 80 inch gray oak oval table stands on a fluted double pedestal, and benches suit kids and casual meals. Tables stand about 30 inches tall and chair seats sit around 19 inches, which leaves comfortable knee room under the apron.

Mid century modern dining set styles

Walnut tops on splayed legs bring a mid-century look, light oak and beige linen lean Japandi and modern farmhouse, and a white marble-look top on black V-shaped legs feels contemporary. A fluted table with green boucle armchairs adds texture.

Modern dining chairs set of 4 and upholstery

Chairs are upholstered in beige or cream linen, light gray fabric or boucle over foam seats, with ladder-back and slat-back wood styles on select sets. Construction: solid hardwood frames, mostly rubberwood, with MDF tops and acacia or oak veneer on most tables.

Modern dining room sets care

Wipe tabletops with a damp cloth and dry them, use placemats and trivets under hot dishes, and vacuum linen seats weekly. Blot spills on fabric chairs right away with a dry cloth, then use mild soap and water.
