Before you buy a table

The table is the easy part. What goes wrong is the room around it: chairs that hit the wall when someone stands up, or a table for six in a kitchen that seats four.

Measure the space, then come pull out a chair. Our showroom at 2121 N Foster Dr has them set up on the floor, and somebody here will walk you through them and answer what you ask.

Dinette sets with marble-look tops and grey chairs in front of a brick wall at Big Ben Furniture

Dinette sets

A dinette set is a smaller table with its chairs, made for a kitchen or an apartment dining area. Most seat four, and some have a bench on one side.

Marble-look and wood-look tops are the most common. Ask which chairs and benches come with the set and which are added.

Counter height sets

A counter height table stands about 36 inches tall, six inches higher than a standard table, with taller chairs or stools to match. It can make a small room feel more open and gives you somewhere to stand and work.

Dining sets

Larger tables for a separate dining room, seating six or more. Ask whether a table has a leaf, and how long it is with the leaf in and out.

Three things to measure first

1

The space

Leave about three feet between the table edge and the wall so a chair can pull out and someone can walk behind it.

2

The seats

Allow about two feet of table edge for each person.

3

The height

A standard table is about 30 inches tall and a counter height table about 36. Their chairs are not the same height.
