Small Dining Room Sets

Small Dining Room Sets

Small dining room sets fit a complete table and chairs into apartments, breakfast nooks, eat-in kitchens and open-plan rooms where the dining area shares space with the living room. This collection gathers compact 3-, 4- and 5-piece sets, and it is one part of our full range of dining sets.

Set sizes and heights

Most sets are 5-piece: a table with four chairs, such as Varde, Ebikon, Yelena or Rowan. Blackwood is a 3-piece round set for two, and Sania comes as a 4-piece counter-height set with a bench. Several designs, including Orbetello, Dakota and Fafnir, are counter height, and Sania also comes as a bar table set. Compare raised tables in our counter height tables.

Styles and finishes

The largest group comes from Furniture of America, in transitional, rustic, contemporary and mid-century modern styles. ESF Furniture adds high-gloss lacquer and shiny sets, McFerran offers faux marble tables in gold, silver and gray, and Homelegance and Artisan Furniture add glass-top and contemporary designs. Finishes run from white, black and brown to gray, oak, walnut and cherry.

How to fit a small dining area

As a rule of thumb, allow about 24 inches of table edge per person and leave about 36 inches between the table and walls so chairs can slide out. In a tight space, a round table or a bench that tucks under the table keeps walkways clear. Our guide to choosing a dining room set explains more.
