Elegant dining room or large farmhouse dining table in the middle of the kitchen – which one makes your heart beat faster? It doesn’t really matter if your dream dinner party has a guest list full of famous people or you’d love to host a crowd of your closest friends, you want to give them a night to remember. And that starts with the perfect dining room table.

Modern life is hectic and nowadays people are more inclined to tweet or text rather than sit down and talk.

When you do find the time to have friends over for dinner, you want every detail to be just right. The candles are lit; the music is on and the chicken cooking in the oven smells divine. And as your guests take their seat at your gorgeous dining room table you want them to be at least a teensy bit jealous!

A dining room table is something that every home has, but not something that every family shares. These days, most families grab a bite to eat on the way out to dance/swim/karate club. Hectic and conflicting schedules mean it becomes a rarity and almost old-fashioned to sit down together every night to eat dinner.

This is why it is so important to choose the right dining room table for your home. whether it’s oak, or pine, small or large, round or square, fixed or extendable, our friendly staff at The Rocking Chair will be happy to help you make your decision.

At first glance, a dining room table and chairs might seem just furniture, but this furniture will provide the foundation for some of your happiest memories: birthdays, Christmas dinners, Sunday lunches & morning brunches, your child’s first homework… your dining room table can be witness to all of them.

That is why choosing the perfect dining room table and chairs is so important. They’re not just a place to sit and eat, but you’re home’s hub and steady centre. So choose a dining table that’s round or square, one that’s a fixed size or that expands as your family does. Choose ladder-back chairs, or solid wooden chairs or upholstered ones that match your curtains. Most of all, choose a dining table and chairs and that can become the heart of your home.
