The Sofa.com Dining Collection

The dining room often acts as the social hub of the house, whether it is used for a quick breakfast with family or an evening spent with friends. It’s important, therefore, to have a space that is comfortable, inviting and stylish creating a room that you’ll love spending time in. We’ve recently introduced a beautiful collection of dining furniture to our range, allowing you to create a stunning kitchen space to relax in with the family.

The Kingsley table

We started by designing a dining table – the Kingsley – an English-country inspired design made from solid oak. It has all the original knots and inconsistencies from the wood that make each individual table unique and is available in three sizes, making it a great for open plan kitchens as well as small and cosy dining rooms. Its simple shape means it sits comfortably with all styles of seating, whether it is paired with matching benches or beautiful dining chairs either side.

The Bentley table

Our Bentley table has been designed for contemporary spaces, allowing you to sit at the table in style. With an elegant transparent glass top that sits atop sleek English Oak legs, the Bentley table will no doubt transform your dining area, whether it’s in an open-plan living area, or in a formal dining space.

The Sinclair chair

From there, we wanted to create a versatile selection of seating options, where you can pair smart dining chairs with casual bench designs to create a dining space that is just right for your home. Capturing the classic profile of traditional furniture through its tufted back and elegantly turned legs, the Sinclair dining chair is the ideal piece for a formal dining room. Its solid oak legs make it a perfect match for the Kingsley dining table and it can either be styled with a set of matching chairs or with our Kingsley bench if you’re after a more relaxed setting.

The Arabella dining chair

The Arabella dining chair was designed to suit both traditional and more contemporary homes. With sleek sloped arms, and a beautifully rounded frame, the Arabella dining chair sits beautifully in both a more formal setting, or an open-plan kitchen area. With gold capped legs to complete the look and add a final flair to the chair, Arabella looks her best when upholstered in one of our sumptuous velvets, creating a dining chair that not only looks the part, but is incredibly comfy too.

Basil bar stool

As many homes are becoming open-plan, and with large kitchen areas with breakfast bars and kitchen islands, the popularity of having comfy bar stools in the home has grown. Our Basil bar stool has been designed with comfort and style in mind, featuring a cushioned seat and back to ensure you are sitting comfortably, whether it’s to eat breakfast, or take a work call. With a solid beechwood frame, which is guaranteed for life, and footrests to add an extra element of comfort, Basil is the a comfy and stylish addition to your home.

The Kingsley bench

As well as dining chairs and bar stools, we designed two benches great for more casual settings. Snuggling up on a bench brings the family together and it can easily slot underneath a table making it perfect for homes that might be a bit tight on space. Our Kingsley bench has the same characteristics as the table, with all the same knots and natural elements, which make the solid oak design so charming. Pairing it with the table will create a wonderfully rustic look that won’t ever go out of style.

The Buttons bench

Another perfect piece of furniture for multi-purpose living, our Buttons bench has been designed with comfort and multi-use in mind – acting as a great seating option for the kitchen area, or equally useful in a hallway or living room. The Buttons bench features a foam-filled cushion for comfort, with button detailing to ensure the seat is as stylish as it is comfortable, and can be upholstered in any of our over 100 fabrics.
