If you’re looking at a dining table with an apron, make sure you check the height of the arms on the chairs so that they can slide under neatly.

Plan to leave 70-90cm between the edge of your table and each wall or between other pieces of furniture in the room so that chairs can be pulled out with ease, leaving enough room for people to pass through.

The length measurement given for a table usually refers to the length of the table top, not from where you can fit your chairs tucked in underneath, so be sure to check the measurement from the inside of each of the table legs if you are hoping to squeeze in a couple more.

A chairs footprint refers to how much flooring is taken up by the base of the seat. When looking for a dining set it will generally state how many seats the table can fit, but keep in mind that the footprint will differ from chair to chair.

Measure out your place settings

Work your space.We always advise choosing the best dining set that your budget will stretch to. A dining set is an integral part of your home interior and is a considered investment so should tick all of the boxes. With this in mind…

Your dining table is so much more than a place to eat...

tip

If you are short on space choose a table with a pedestal base or a small square table that can be pushed against a wall when not in use. Chairs with a slim shape and design would be ideal as they can be closely tucked under the table.

If you entertain semi regularly and have the space it’s best to upsize. This means if you have a household of 4, opt for a 6 seater dining set. If you have a household of 6, go for an 8 seater dining set and so on...

If you entertain semi regularly or very regularly but don’t have the space to have a big table up all the time choose a dining set with an extending table. This will allow you to add any extra seats at your leisure, without having to have a large table occupying your space all of the time. A double extension will give you more flexibility as you’ll have even more sizing options, but keep in mind that more place settings means you’ll need more chairs!

Short on space? Room for a couple more? Extend your options

Think about all the uses you have for your dining table before making a purchase. A dining table doesn’t just need to be big enough for the number of occupants come meal times. Does it double up as a home office/desk/homework area? Do the kids need the extra space for homework/hobbies?

Consider the space you need to live your life!

5 points to consider...Knowing your furniture measurements couldn’t be more important when selecting a dining set, as you’re not only thinking about how the pieces will fit into your space but also how they will fit and work together. Ask yourself these top 5 questions to help narrow down a set style that’s right for you...

YES if:• You entertain regularly• You have the space• You’d like a versatile seating

arrangement

Do you need a table extension?

• Everyday dining• Family hub of your home• Mainly for special occasions• Doubling up as a desk

How will you use your dining table?

• 2-4• 4-6• 6-8• It varies, there’s always someone round for dinner!

• Gloss or matt - something clean and simple • A timber finish - to add warmth and texture• Glass or frosted glass - transparent, durable and tactile

What finish do you want?

• Round or oval - always feels sociable and is great for maximising space• Square - gives an open and spacious feel with plenty of tabletop space• Rectangle - lots of choice and easy to fit within most rooms

What shape would be best?

How to choose. To make choosing your dining set even easier, consider what you want the most important feature to be. Whether it’s comfort, social or space saving, once you have this in your mind you can choose a style of chair and table that fits the right criteria.

A glass dining table is a great opportunity to go for a bold colour or patterned dining chair as the transparency of the glass really accentuates the look and will make your chairs the star of the show!

One of the main joys of choosing an already paired dining set is that it takes all of the hard work out of matching a style of table and the right chair to go with it, as it’s all been done for you! Don’t let this restrict your design aspirations though, we put our sets together as a helpful style set up and guide but you don’t have to stick to what’s shown. A round dining set is very convivial and ideal for sociable dining. A dining

table with a pedestal would also be a good option as there’s more freedom of movement and space under the table as there are no table legs in the way, so you can easily pull up a few more seats when needed.

Sociable seating

If your dining set will be used regularly and for long periods at a time, you’ll need comfortable dining chairs. Look for a seats that have generous padding, perhaps a sleek real leather covering or a seat with lumbar support to keep you and your guest sitting comfortably for even longer.

Comfort factor

If you’re considering a dining set with an extending table, you’ll need to consider how many chairs you’ll need. If you will be using the extension less regularly, a stacking chair is a good idea as you can pull them out as and when they’re needed.

Stackable seating

Styling tipConsider your space and whether it would benefit from a splash of colour or more neutral tones. This can be introduced into your space both through your choice of dining chairs or through glossy / wood veneer table finishes.

Colour or plain?

Ready made sets

What material?When considering what materials you should have for your dining set, you not only need to consider how it looks but also how suitable they are for your needs. We champion all of our tables and chairs for everyday use, but have a think about what materials are going to work for you.

Glass and Gloss

Veneer

With proper care and maintenance, finishes such as gloss and glass work a treat even in busy family settings.

A real wood veneer table table allows you to add a hint of natural textures alongside more modern elements such as brushed metal or chrome legs for a really on trend mixed material look.

If you’re still unsure about what finishes to choose, order swatch samples of both the table and chair finishes so you can get a better idea of how the finishes will look together.

If you’re ordering furniture online, it’s always a good idea to order swatches.

Frosted GlassFrosted glass has the durability and modern look of clear glass but with a softer finish. It’ s also that bit easier to clean and maintain as surface fingerprints are much less visible.

How often?How often will you use your dining chairs? If your dining room is the social hub of your home and you’ll be using the chairs daily, you’ll want a material that’s hardwearing and easy to clean.

**

*

*How long?How long will you be sitting on the chair for? All of our dining chairs have been designed with comfort in mind as it’s such an important part of any dining room seating. If you’d like a chair that will keep you sitting comfortably during those long after dinner chats, opt for something with an upholstered finish or padding as opposed to a hardwood or laminate seat.

*

What’s your budget?Make sure you have an idea of roughly how much you’d like to spend on your dining chairs. If a material is out of your price range there are always alternative options available which will allow you to create the style and look you want without going over your budget.

THE CHAIRS

Chair care & cleaning.

We’ve kept all of our cleaning and care information for our dining chairs range in one place to make it even easier for you to look after your new products, keeping them looking clean, sleek and stylish for longer.

Fabrics

Use a slightly dampened cloth to wipe any spillages or marks as soon as they appear.

Only use specialised upholstery cleaning productsto treat the chair as you know the product will be safe to use on the fabric.

You can spray your fabric dining chairs with a scotchgard to give it an extra layer of protection. This will help to prevent stains, lock out water and make your fabric chairs more durable.

Avoid placing fabric chairs in direct sunlight or by high sources of heat as this can, over time, fade the colour of the fabric.

After cleaning don’t leave the chairs to air dry. Instead use a kitchen towel to remove anyexcess moisture.

Avoid spreading moisture around the chair by spot cleaning the marked area of the fabric. Repeated dabbing with a damp cloth is better than saturatingthe fabric so bear this in mind when cleaning.

Real LeatherUse an absorbent cloth or sponge to wipe theaffected areas. Luke warm water should dojust the trick!

Do dry your leather furniture after cleaning with a soft cloth rather than leaving your leather furniture to air dry.

If you really want to give your leather some TLC, it’s worth investing in a leather maintenance kit which will look after the leather before, during and after cleaning.

Avoid using soaps or cleaning solvents as this will damage the leather.

Try not to place your leather dining chairs in harshdirect sunlight as like with most things, the leather will fade to some extent when it is directly exposed.

Be careful of colour transfers from brand new jeans or heavily dyed items of clothing as this could potentially mark the leather. To clean marks left by clothing, use something such as a magic sponge immediately for the best results.

Faux Leather

Use a damp, microfiber soft cloth.

When cleaning, apply a gentle amount of pressure in a circular motion.

Use a mild detergent such as washing up liquid.

Don’t use an abrasive cloth or sponge.

Glass

Always use placemats and coasters as this gives the glass surface that extra layer of protection.

You can use antibacterial sprays, even ones that contain bleach, as the glass is non porous. Then use a specific glass spray, such as a window cleaner,to protect the surface from smears using a lintfree cloth.

Alternatively, you can also use soapy lukewarm water and dish soap to give the table a good clean.

Solid timber i.e not veneer. Timber used in its solid state that has been treated for moisture content, finished and sealed.

Frosted Glass

To clean a frosted glass table top, we suggest using a good quality, non-streaking window cleaner or antibacterial spray. Spray the glass lightly and then wipe it over with a clean, soft lint free towel.

Move the cloth in circular motions to dry the glassafter cleaning as this will help to prevent water marks and spots.

Dry the table thoroughly, being careful not leave fingerprints on the surface.

Try not to place anything sharp or abrasive on or around a frosted glass table as this will scratch the beautifully smooth surface.

We advise not to place hot utensils straight from the oven onto the table's surface. Use something such as a table matt or wicker coaster as this will prevent the table surface becoming marked or slightly damaged over time from the heat.

High Pressure HPL

HPL can withstand common household chemicals such as washing-up liquid or antibacterial spray so these are fine for use on the surface.

After cleaning, always wipe over the surface with a dry cloth to remove any excess moisture.

HPL is a really durable material, however, you will need to use matts for oven to tableware. This finish is ideal for families as it is so easy to clean and maintain, a great feature for those busy mealtimes!

Stay away from corrosive chemicals such as descaling agents, oven cleaners, chlorine and acetone as this will damage the surface.

When cleaning, never use a steel scourer, scourer pad, souring agent or similar products.

It goes without saying, but never pull an object with rough or ragged edges across the worktop as this can scratch the wonderfully smooth satin surface.

Use a dish soap and water on your wooden finishes, applied with a damp cloth.

Always protect the surface with coasters and placemats to help prevent watermarks from drinks and damage from hot dinner plates marking the surface.

Don’t let a wooden table air dry but rather wipe over the surface with another dry cloth to remove any excess water.

Don’t use anything rough or abrasive to clean a real wood dining table as this will scratch and damage the natural and beautifully smooth finish.

White or Grey Oak Wood Veneer

Dampen a non-abrasive lint free cloth andmove in the direction of the wood grain.

For more stubborn marks, apply a dab of milddishwashing detergent to your cloth.

For the best results, wipe away any spills or marks as soon as they occur.

Use a paper towel or a clean dish cloth rather than a sponge, as a sponge will more than likely just spread the liquid across the surface.

Don’t place drinks or plates directly onto the tablesurface. Instead, we suggest using coasters and mats each meal time to give the oak veneer an extra layer of protection

An oak veneer with a fully opaque, matt finish. The resulting finish is an even matt look but with a subtle oak texture.

Etched tempered safety glass with a super fine finish. Etched glass isn’t an applied finish that can chip or peel off, so it really becomes an integral feature of the material.

Multiple layers of material are saturated with a specialist resin along with a decorativefilm layer (such as a solid colour or woodgrain) which is placed on top. This creates a sandwich effect, fused together using extreme heat (that’s temperatures of 280 to 320 degrees Fahrenheit!) under 70 to 100 bars of pressure. Then a clear protective overlay is used for maximum protection.

Real Wood

Don’t scrub repeatedly in the same area as this will damage the protective seal on the wood’s surface.

Solid timber i.e not veneer. Timber used in its solid state that has been treated for moisture content, finished and sealed.

Frosted Glass

To clean a frosted glass table top, we suggest using a good quality, non-streaking window cleaner or antibacterial spray. Spray the glass lightly and then wipe it over with a clean, soft lint free towel.

Move the cloth in circular motions to dry the glassafter cleaning as this will help to prevent water marks and spots.

Dry the table thoroughly, being careful not leave fingerprints on the surface.

Try not to place anything sharp or abrasive on or around a frosted glass table as this will scratch the beautifully smooth surface.

We advise not to place hot utensils straight from the oven onto the table's surface. Use something such as a table matt or wicker coaster as this will prevent the table surface becoming marked or slightly damaged over time from the heat.

High Pressure HPL

HPL can withstand common household chemicals such as washing-up liquid or antibacterial spray so these are fine for use on the surface.

After cleaning, always wipe over the surface with a dry cloth to remove any excess moisture.

HPL is a really durable material, however, you will need to use matts for oven to tableware. This finish is ideal for families as it is so easy to clean and maintain, a great feature for those busy mealtimes!

Stay away from corrosive chemicals such as descaling agents, oven cleaners, chlorine and acetone as this will damage the surface.

When cleaning, never use a steel scourer, scourer pad, souring agent or similar products.

It goes without saying, but never pull an object with rough or ragged edges across the worktop as this can scratch the wonderfully smooth satin surface.

Use a dish soap and water on your wooden finishes, applied with a damp cloth.

Always protect the surface with coasters and placemats to help prevent watermarks from drinks and damage from hot dinner plates marking the surface.

A highly reflective finish made by electroplating chromium onto steel. A thicker than average layer of chrome results in a deeper finish that’s more durable.

Real Leather

Use an absorbent cloth or sponge to wipe theaffected areas. Luke warm water should dojust the trick!

Do dry your leather furniture after cleaning with a soft cloth rather than leaving your leather furniture to air dry.

If you really want to give your leather some TLC, it’s worth investing in a leather maintenance kit which will look after the leather before, during and after cleaning.

Before using any product, check the label that it’s not too drying to use on leather.

Try not to place your leather dining chairs in harshdirect sunlight as like with most things, the leather will fade to some extent when it is directly exposed.

Be careful of colour transfers from brand new jeans or heavily dyed items of clothing as this could potentially mark the leather. To clean marks left by clothing, use something such as a magic sponge immediately for the best results.

Plastic

Mild household cleaning sprays, furniture wipes,or even baby wipes are fine to use on plasticbar stools.

You can also use an antibacterial spray if needed, which is great for families with young children.

After cleaning, dry your plastic chairs thoroughly to avoid having to deal with stubborn water marks.

Although plastic bar stools are very durable, stay away from using abrasive materials like scourers when cleaning the surface.

This one goes without saying, but avoid placing anything of extreme temperature on or around a plastic bar stool.

Use soap and water on a soft cloth to clean the area and if it doesn’t go away, we suggestusing a splash of vinegar to give your cleaning that extra boost.

Waxing chrome after a good clean is also very useful if you want to keep its high shine for even longer.

The dirtier chrome gets before you deal with it themore difficult it becomes to clean. Because of this,avoid leaving marks on the surface for long periods of time.

Don't use abrasive cleaners on your chrome table as any scratches caused can potentially expose the material to the air and cause more rust.

For every day cleaning and non stubborn marks,you can simply use some hot (not boiling) water and a cloth or sponge to wipe over your stainless steel furniture. You can always add a little bit of washing up liquid if your cleaning needs an extra boost.

You can use stainless steel polish or lemon oil to buff a stainless steel surface. To do this, apply the polish to a lint free cloth and move in the direction of the metal's grain. Then with a dry cloth, buff the surface again until it is dry.

Keep your stainless steel as dry as possible, whether this is after cleaning the material ormopping the floor around it. This is because if themetal is left to air dry, marks and water spots will occur.

Do not use oven cleaners or any products that contain chloride on brushed stainless steel as thiswill damage the surface. Avoid using steel brushes or any highly abrasive scrubbing pads as this can cause scratches or leavebehind residue which can over time lead to rust.

Faux Leather

Use a damp, microfiber soft cloth.

When cleaning, apply a gentle amount of pressure in a circular motion.

Use a mild detergent such as washing up liquid.

Don’t use an abrasive cloth or sponge.

Don’t scrub - this will just crack the leather rather than help to remove the mark.

Don’t let the faux leather air dry after cleaning. Instead, use a dry soft cloth to remove an excess moisture.

High grade thick polyurethane that has been embossed with a medium grain and backed onto fabric. Faux leather has great recovery and is a super durable surface.

We use corrected-grain leather which is ideal for giving an even finish, free from imperfections. Imperfections and marks are removed and ‘corrected' in the manufacturing process.

Most plastic bar stools are made from moulded heat treated non porous plastic.

Chrome

Brushed MetalSolid stainless steel that has been buffed to give a brushed look. The surface is thentreated with a slight abrasive in a linear motion to give a matt metallic look.
