Dining Tables

24-30 inches of table width per person is the standard. A 60" round seats 4-6 comfortably, a 72" rectangular seats 6-8, an 84" or larger seats 8-10. Add 36" of clearance on all sides for chair pull-out; if you're tight on space, prioritize length over width.

Solid wood (kiln-dried oak, walnut, and ash) — the longest-lasting choice; develops character with age and minor scratches buff out. Veneer over hardwood — looks similar to solid wood at a lower price; works for lighter-use dining rooms. Stone and marble tops — most refined finish; require sealing every 1-2 years and are heavier (matters for assembly).

Seat height of 17-19 inches matches standard table heights (28-30"). For upholstered chairs, check the fabric rating — performance fabrics handle daily life; delicate weaves don't. Solid hardwood legs last decades; particleboard frames don't. Most Quince dining chairs ship fully assembled or with leg attachment only.

If you regularly host more guests than your daily setup seats, yes. Standard Quince extendable tables add 18-24 inches via a center leaf, taking a 72" table to 90-96" — enough for 2-3 additional chairs. The mechanism adds a small price premium but takes seconds to operate.

In-stock items ship within 2 weeks via white-glove delivery. Custom-fabric upholstered chairs and made-to-order tables run 6-12 weeks. Each style shows current lead time; if you're planning around a hosting date, order the longest-lead-time item first.

365 days from order date. Returns require scheduled white-glove pickup (Quince handles freight). There's no restocking fee on standard furniture, but custom-fabric or made-to-order pieces are typically final sale — the style will say if a specific item is.
