Dinette sets are perfect for people who have small apartments and are looking for a place to quickly eat and get going. They are smaller than the full dining sets and as a result lighter and more versatile. Usually they come with a medium sized table for four people and four chairs. Some variations include 4 chairs plus a bench, a small table plus two chairs and a table with five chairs. Dinette tables are mostly rectangular, round or oval made from various materials like glass, plastic and wood. Sometimes they come in a combination of wood covered by glass or wood with a stone cover on higher end sets. Make sure to pay attention to the dimensions of the table and account for chairs. Dinette chairs are no different from dining set chairs, so for more information you should refer to dining chair section.
