What Matters When Picking a Dining Table and Chairs?

When it comes to creating a welcoming dining space, the dining table and chairs are the heart of the room. They’re where meals are shared, conversations unfold, and everyday moments become memories.

The first thing to consider is the size and proportion. Make sure the table fits comfortably within your space, leaving enough room for people to move easily around it — about 90 cm of clearance is a good rule to follow.

Material and craftsmanship also play a big role. Solid wood is a timeless choice, not only for its durability but also for its natural beauty. At Mrs Woods, we use quality timbers like oak that bring warmth and character to every piece. Each grain tells its own story, making every table and chair unique.

Comfort is just as important as appearance. A well-designed dining chair supports the body gently, encouraging you to stay a little longer after the meal. When table height and chair proportions work in harmony, the entire dining experience feels effortless.

Style matters too, but perfection isn’t the goal. Your dining table and chairs don’t have to match exactly — it’s often more charming when they don’t. Combining different tones, shapes, or finishes can create a relaxed, lived-in atmosphere that feels truly personal.

Finally, think about the finish and longevity. A natural wood finish gives warmth and authenticity, while a protective coating makes everyday care simple. Good craftsmanship ensures that your furniture will last for many years, aging beautifully over time — a sustainable investment that only grows richer with life’s moments.

In the end, the best dining table and chairs are the ones that feel right for your home — where design, comfort, and craftsmanship come together naturally.
