Whether you're hosting holiday dinners or just need room for homework and weeknight meals, rectangle dining room sets from Rooms To Go give you a table plus coordinating chairs, stools or a bench in one purchase. At Rooms To Go, you'll find dining room sets from 3-piece bistro sets to 7-piece sets with six chairs. You'll also find standard, counter and bar heights, with options like extension leaves, storage bases, and marble, stone or glass tops.
What size rectangle dining set do I need?
Start with how many people you seat on a typical day, then plan for guests.
- 3- and 4-piece sets: Seat two or three and are often counter or bar height, a smart fit for kitchen nooks and apartments.
- 5-piece sets: The classic setup of a table and four chairs or stools. Tables range from Crown Court's 38 x 64-inch counter-height top to Hill Creek's 41 x 76-inch trestle table.
- 6-piece sets with a bench: Add a bench to four chairs for extra seating, as in Westover Hills II, Holden and Surrey Ellis. Browse all dining sets with a bench.
- 7-piece sets: Include six chairs or stools, as in Angelica, Holden and Grand Falls.
- Tables with leaves: Make room for guests when you need it. French Market extends from 72 to 90 inches with an 18-inch leaf, and Covered Bridge goes from 86 to 126 inches with two 20-inch leaves.
Planning tip: As a general guideline, leave about 36 inches between the table edge and walls or other furniture so chairs slide out easily and people can walk past.
Rectangle vs. round or square dining sets
A rectangle table is usually the right call if your dining area is longer than it is wide, you regularly seat six or more, or you want a table that can grow with a leaf. If your space is small or square, or you mostly seat four, a round table may fit better: there are no corners to work around, and conversation flows easily. Square tables give four people equal elbow room. Compare round dining room sets and square dining room sets, or browse small dining room sets for tighter spaces.
Heights, tabletops & finishes
- Height: Choose standard height for classic sit-down dining, or counter-height dining sets for a casual, kitchen-island feel. Coventry's counter-height table even extends from 36 x 54 inches to a 54-inch square.
- Tabletops: Wood veneers like acacia, oak, hickory, pecan, mango and cherry, plus marble (Viola), sintered stone with a marble finish (Pompei), white stone (Allici) and glass (Axia, Bastone). See more glass top dining sets.
- Finishes: Use the Finish filter to narrow by black, white, gray, light wood, dark wood, metal or color.
- Chair options: Many collections pair the same table with different chairs. Rosolli comes with gray, blue, beige or maize upholstered chairs, and Surrey Ellis offers panel-back, strap-back or upholstered seating.
- Storage: Concord pairs a storage table with a matching storage bench, and Walstead Place has cubbies, wine compartments and drawers below its counter-height top. Get more ideas in our dining room storage guide.
Completing the room
Prefer to mix and match? Start with rectangle dining tables and add dining chairs in your favorite style. Then finish the room with buffets and sideboards for serving and storage, an area rug big enough that chairs stay on it when pulled out (a common rule of thumb is about 24 inches beyond the table on each side), and a chandelier centered over the table. It's an easy way to turn your dining room into a welcoming place to gather.
