Farmhouse Dining Sets

Farmhouse dining table set for 4 or 2

A farmhouse dining table set for 4 suits a kitchen or a small dining room. The 5-piece counter height sets pair a 34.5 inch square oak-finish table or a 47.2 inch brown table with four upholstered chairs, both 36 inches tall. For two, choose a 3-piece bar height set with a narrow 47.5 by 15.7 inch table, X-back chairs and built-in footrests, or a drop leaf set in espresso whose table opens from 29.5 to 47.3 inches.

Rustic farmhouse dining table set for 6

Sets for six pair a table with four chairs and a bench, or with six chairs. Extendable tables add room for guests: the black and white sets with turned legs open from 59 to 77 inches, the acacia sets in natural or black open from 60 to 82 inches with two 11 inch leaves, and the round pedestal sets open from 42 inches to a 60 inch oval. Fixed tables run from 57 to 68 inches long.

Modern farmhouse dining set styles

A modern farmhouse dining set keeps the warm wood and lightens the details. The 7-piece light oak sets have clean lines and linen chairs, and the 68 inch set adds floating, gently curved chair backs for a Japandi look. The 6-piece natural set stands on curved pedestal-slab legs. Classic choices include X-back, slat-back and ladder-back chairs, a gray top on a white base, and nailhead-trimmed linen seats on the acacia sets.

Farmhouse dining room set sizing and care

Allow about 24 inches of table edge per person and 36 inches between the table and a wall so chairs slide out easily. Benches tuck under the table to save floor space. Most tops are wood veneer over solid hardwood or solid acacia frames, so wipe spills promptly, set placemats under hot dishes, and dust with a soft cloth. Most sets need some assembly.
