Dining Sets

How many people can a dining table seat comfortably?

The number of people you can comfortably fit at your dining table depends on its size.

A simple way to determine how many people can sit at your dining table is to divide the length in inches by 12. For example, a 72-inch dining table makes the perfect dining table set for 6. On the other hand, a
94-inch dining table makes a great dining table set for 8.

6-chair dining sets are a great choice for everyday meals, small family dinners, or game nights with friends. However, for the frequent host, a dining set for 8 is the way to go.

Whether you’re looking for a solid wood dining table for 6 or something a bit bigger, Plank+Beam has you covered. To make shopping easier for you, we’ve bundled our wooden dining tables and chairs to create dining sets for 6 and 8. This not only saves you money but guarantees a cohesive dining space where everyone can sit comfortably.

Do dining tables and chairs need to match?

Short answer: nope! Mixing and matching the colors of your solid wood dining table and chairs can add a fun, eclectic vibe to your space. The possibilities are endless when you mix and match your wood table and chairs. Try out fun combinations like a light wood dining table with black dining chairs or a black dining table with walnut dining chairs.

Matching your dining room chairs and table is still a
classic for a reason though. A matching dining table and chairs set creates a beautiful, cohesive look that is sure to wow your guests.

There are no rules when picking solid wood dining chairs for your table, so get creative. Check out tons of different color combo options with solid wood dining tables with 6 chairs from Plank+Beam.

Is a dining table with a bench a good idea?

Absolutely, you can never go wrong with a dining room table with benches. A dining table with benches adds a casual feel to your dining space. Benches are perfect for welcoming guests into your home or a casual dinner with your family.

Not only do benches for dining room offer a stylish look that perfectly complements a variety of décor styles, but they're incredibly practical. Wooden dining benches maximize the seating capacity at your dining table – because the more the merrier.

With solid wood kitchen tables with benches from Plank+Beam, your dining bench is specifically designed to fit neatly underneath your table when you’re not using it. This is a great space-saving hack for those with less room to work with.

Benches make your space more flexible and inviting. So if you're considering a dining room table and benches, go for it – your dining area will thank you.

Is a solid wood dining table worth it?

A solid wood dining table is an investment, but it’s one that’s well worth it in the long run. Flimsy or fragile materials like glass or MDF may look good at first. However, your investment goes out the window as soon as they scratch, warp, or crack. With a solid wood dining room set, you’re getting furniture that’s built to last.

Solid wood dining sets are not only durable, but they’re also easy to maintain. While cheaper materials require constant maintenance, you can care for your wood dining table set by simply wiping it with a damp cloth.

Solid wood dining sets add warmth and character to any space, tying it together and making it feel like home. In short, a real wood dining table set is always worth it.
