When buying a dining table set, asking the right questions helps you avoid regret later. Whether you’re shopping online or at a store like ARV Furniture, here are smart questions to ask:
*Size & Space
What are the exact dimensions of the table (length, width, height)?
How many people can it seat comfortably vs. maximum?
Will it fit through my doors, hallways, or elevators?
Is there enough legroom under the table?
*Material & Build Quality
What material is the tabletop made of (solid wood, MDF, glass, marble, etc.)?
What material is the frame and legs made from?
Is the wood engineered or solid hardwood?
How durable is the finish against scratches, heat, and spills?
*Chairs & Comfort

What is the seat height compared to the table height?
Are the chair covers removable or washable?
How much weight can each chair support?
*Style & Design
Does the style match my current interior theme?
Are there other color or finish options?
Is the design timeless or trendy (will it still look good in 5–10 years)?
*Functionality
Is the table extendable or fixed size?
Is it easy to assemble and disassemble?
Are replacement parts available if something breaks?
*Maintenance & Care
How should it be cleaned daily?
Does it require polishing or special cleaners?
Is it water- or stain-resistant?
