3-Piece Kitchen & Dining Room Sets

Traditional-style, three-piece kitchen and dining room sets are generally made of wood, sometimes in two tones between the tops and legs, with round tabletops. Some of these tables have fold-down sides to save space when you're not using them. Traditional sets are lower to the floor compared to bar-type pieces.

Modern and Contemporary sets use wood and possibly metal for extra durability. Light stains on wooden tops contrast dark metal, whereas dark stains blend in to create a more cohesive presentation. Look for square and rectangular tables with matching chairs for a sleek style. If you're choosing a table for a more casual area, consider a table with a higher top and stool sets.

Transitional dining room sets combine old-style and contemporary elements. You may find upholstered seats on chairs with wooden frames or a marble tabletop with curved wrought iron legs for a sturdy table that lasts. Opt for a white wood construction with a natural tabletop for more of a cottage style.

Three-piece kitchen and dining room sets sometimes give you the chance to expand your seating arrangement with leaves. These extra pieces expand the table and let you add more chairs when you have guests over for dinner. Drop leaves and butterfly leaves also create more space for hosting game night, spreading out paperwork, or tackling your latest 1,000-piece puzzle.

Marble tops offer a natural, durable construction that provides an aura of an heirloom piece. A wooden construction is lighter in weight for when you want to move the set around ahead of cleaning your floor or rearranging a dining room. Metal tops speak to an industrial-style sturdiness while resisting stains and wear.

When you have an empty corner and you want to see the rest of the room, a corner three-piece kitchen and dining room set fills a unique niche. One chair forms a bench that fits neatly into a corner and seats two to four people. The table is large enough to accommodate the bench, while the third piece is an extra seat that is opposite the corner bench, optimizing the space in your room.
