Choosing a Dining-Room Suite

Shop around and you'll find dining-room furniture to suit not only the
space you have available but the style of your home and your budget.
Dining-room furniture often outlasts other furniture in a home - a
sofa and armchairs may show the strain of the rough and tumble of
family life, but a sturdy table and chairs can go on looking good year
after year. So work out your needs carefully before you buy a dining
suite.
There's an excellent choice of robust, well-made contemporary
furniture available to suit all tastes and budgets, from the elegance
of Georgian reproduction through sturdy farmhouse to modern steel and
glass. Folding or extending tables are a good choice if space is
limited or to seat extra guests.
A Touch of the Traditional
Traditional dining-room furniture such as a period style suite in
solid wood or with a veneered finish is well suited to elegant formal
meals. Before you buy it's a good idea to decide how versatile you
want your table and chairs to be. Most dining-room furniture has to be
sturdy enough to meet different needs. During the course of a day the
table may be called on to do duty as a play surface for children's
games and painting sessions, a desk for homework, and a worktop for a
sewing machine as well as being used for an informal family breakfast,
lunch, and tea. Yet it still has to be flexible enough to be dressed
up for those more elegant evening occasions....
