It seems that the trending style in dining tables and chairs have slowly become more casual. Gone are the very formal large tables with the high back chairs. Instead now you are seeing what is called the dining benches – which is a dining table that is lower and more casual. These dining benches can have sides the fold down and then folds up if more people are at the table. The chairs or low stools bring the entire dining experience down a bit making it more casual and comfortable.
