Cousins Furniture Dining Tables & Chairs
Dining tables and chairs form the hub of family gatherings, whether you’re sat around the breakfast room table to start the day or you’ve got 8 people sat around your extending marble table for a special dinner, it’s important to make the right choice.
At Cousins we have a table and chairs for every occasion, plus complementing stools and corner benches for compact spaces such as a kitchen diner. Tables come in every shape and size, from round and square extending tables for small areas where you may only need 2 or 4 seats, through to grand 6 and 8 seater rectangular tables that can extend to seat even more. Glass and ceramic tables are practical for a dinette, whereas wooden tables, such as oak or a dark wood will bring character. Or why not impress your friends with a marble or high gloss dining set. You can be assured to find a dining chair, stool or bench to complete your dining set, whether that’s in a luxurious velvet or practical wipe-clean family friendly fabric.

Choosing the right type of dining table and chairs set is important whether it’s going into a dining room or kitchen. Wooden tables in oak or a dark wood will complement both traditional and contemporary dining spaces.
A marble table or one in modern high gloss are great for a statement. Whereas the practicality of a glass or ceramic table works well in busy communal spaces, such as dinettes. Go for an extending table if you’re furnishing a small area, like a breakfast room. Then match up with your perfect seating solution, whether you select dining chairs, stools or benches they can be covered in the luxury of velvet or the practicality of wipe-clean fabrics, dependent on the purpose of your new dining set.

Social trends and the way we now live our busy lives has meant that we don’t always just eat in a kitchen or dining room anymore. In fact the dining table is at the heart of many homes. Communal family living spaces have led to the evolution of the kitchen or breakfast room into more flexible diners or dinettes, where the whole family can eat, work, rest and play.
Many households only have one dining table, so it needs to be practical and functional, doubling up as a desk, gaming table and somewhere to sit around and socialise, it’s not just somewhere to eat your breakfast or dinner! We have dining tables to suit the larger more formal dining room in the traditional sense, as well as more compact and flexible table solutions for smaller spaces.
Shop by Size
The optimal size of dining table will very much depend on your size of dining room or kitchen plus how many people you need to sit around it, whether on dining chairs or some type of bench configuration.
The most popular size is the medium dining table where you can comfortably sit 6 people, extending to an 8 seater if the table is extendable. Smaller round or square tables are great for more compact spaces, where you can sit either 2 or 4 dining chairs, as well as in a multi-functional open plan living space. Our statement large dining tables are more suited to generously sized dining spaces.
Shop by Shape
The shape of your dining table will depend on a number of factors, including the size of your dining space, how many people it needs to sit, as well as your taste.
Round and square tables are good for smaller rooms, like kitchens and can comfortably sit 4 people, maybe extending to a 6 seater if your chosen table has the function. Whereas a rectangular table will comfortably sit 6 seats, then as many as 8 or 10 for larger gatherings in a more formal dining room. Why not sit a corner bench around a square or rectangular table for either greater flexibility.

The look of your new dining table or dining set, if you include chairs, will very much depend on your own personal taste and interior aspirations. Some people are matching to the character of their home, so may prefer a wooden industrial style table with bench seating, or a traditional country design if that complements their surroundings.
Modern and contemporary tables blend well into kitchens and diners, especially those with practical glass or ceramic finishes, along with matching stools or chairs. Simple Scandi designs, in oak or high gloss, are popular when furnishing an urban, open-plan living space. Whereas marble boutique style tables are great if you’re looking to make a designer statement in a more formal dining room, especially when paired with complementing velvet dining chairs for extra glamour.
