Dining room furniture has undergone several transformations throughout history. In the Middle Ages, royalty would eat at long banquet tables, with the royal family seated at the head. Traditional Japanese dining tables are lower than Western countries, allowing diners to sit while eating.

In the United States, contemporary dining room furniture has evolved into one of the largest branches of home furnishing, including dining tables and chairs, cabinets and counter-tops, hutches, pie safes, serving carts, pub tables and bar stools to name a few.

The French Country Dining Set boasts an eye-catching beauty.

Dining tables often offer a split top in which wooden or metal gears allow a table top to be opened and wooden leaves to be inserted, resulting in a larger table that can accommodate groups or gatherings.

Contemporary dining room furniture comes in a variety of styles, the most popular being Mission and Shaker (including countless interpretations of these two styles) but with French County (see picture) and various modern styles being popular.
