What is the difference between a dining set and a dinette set?
The difference between a dining set and a dinette set is size. A dinette set usually consists of a small dining table plus two to four chairs. On the other hand, dining sets usually have larger tables with six or eight chairs. With some brands, dinette sets are more casual than dining sets. However, other brands offer both casual and formal dinettes and dining sets. Explore a diverse assortment of dining room furniture on 1stDibs.
