How to choose the perfect dining set for your holiday needs

Picture the perfect holiday with loved ones, and chances are you’ll envision yourselves sitting around the dining table together enjoying a meal. During other times of year, it can be hard to find the time to share dinner, making those holiday meals much more special.

But before you host your next family gathering, take a peek at your dining set. Is it meeting your needs – or is it time to consider a new one? While sitting at the kids’ table or scrambling to find a seat for everyone is sometimes part of the holiday tradition, consider whether a new dining set could help you host more comfortably. 

Read on to learn more about some of La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries’ best picks for dining tables.

Hosting a sit-down dinner for a crowd?

No matter your style, you can find the perfect new set at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries.

For a classic look, consider something like the Nichols Rectangular Dining Table from Kincaid Furniture. Casual enough for everyday use with elegant features that are right at home in a formal dining room, this table seats four, but two 20-inch leaves offer enough space for anyone who shows up for dinner.

This collection includes a full range of pieces to complete your dining room, including a sideboard, buffet and display cabinet. And with four styles of elegant yet comfortably cushioned chairs (with and without arms), everyone will want to linger at the table long after the last piece of pie is served.

For a more contemporary look, there’s the Darrell Rectangular Dining Table by American Drew. This stunning piece with a unique starburst pattern on the tabletop feels like an heirloom in the making. It mixes modern, casual simplicity with a shadow finish that lends an aged quality. Complete the look with other uniquely patterned pieces, including buffets, entertainment consoles, curio cabinets and more.

Tip: Choose dining tables with leaves that adjust to your needs, depending on who’s coming for dinner.

Need a kid-friendly dining set-up?

Whether the kids eat in the kitchen or dine with the grown-ups, you don’t need to worry about spills, spots or stains when you choose performance fabrics like the KinGuard and Sunbrella selections from Kincaid. Their array of banquette dining seats melds comfort, style and function so you can relax and savor every moment together.

Choose from hundreds of fabrics, patterns and colors, with or without button tufting. These pieces are designed to last until the youngest child outgrows the kids’ table.

Tip: The wood finishes are also naturally resistant to minor mishaps, making this furniture durable for everyday use.
