Frequently asked questions


  • Is a dining table better than a breakfast counter? A dining table seats the whole family face to face and suits proper meals. A breakfast counter saves space and suits quick meals for one or two.

  • Is a breakfast counter good for elders? Counters use tall stools, which can be hard for elders and small children. A 30 inch dining table with regular chairs is easier.

  • How high is your dining table? Our wooden 6 seater pages list a height of 30 inches.

  • Do you have space-saving dining sets? Yes. Some of our sets come with a bench, which tucks under the table. The bench pages list a 6 seater bench of 18 inches high, 1 ft wide and 4 ft long.

  • Can I have both? Yes. Many families use a counter for breakfast and a dining table for dinner.
