Dinette set

feline groovy — Thu, 23 Aug 2018 03:52:48 GMT

Looking for something cheap that's comprised of a rectangular table and one chair.

It's just for me..

Anyone see these around or somewhere online?

Thanks.

I doubt you could buy a set with just one chair. You could buy a table, then a chair separately. Even chairs are often sold in pairs. It's also hard to find very small tables. I have a set with a small drop leaf table but it came with two nice chairs with casters. It's wood with a stainproof finish.

Try IKEA. They have separate pieces, but I am not sure of the quality.

The previous poster mentioned a desk.That is what I use. It looks just like a rectangular table although it does have a small pencil drawer. Got that at World Market.

As far as a chair, I use a single chair that I picked up at a flea market many years ago.

The places around me that would sell separate would be At Home, Target, and occasionally Home Depot has a special like that. Also HomeGoods or TJ Maxx and possibly Hobby lobby.

@feline groovy-

You could find one I bet at Homegoods.

I had so much luck there when I moved, finding really nice real furniture which was very inexpensive.

A comfortable cushioned dining chair for $59.You have to find stuff at the right time and when you do, get it (it won't be there the next day!)

A beautiful dark wood rectangle table from Ashley Furniture (surprisingly nice and not expensive, real wood, well made furniture!

and a sleigh bed, both of these under $200,

I think the bed $179 and the table even less.

(they have smaller tables too. Mine is a larger one)

I hadn't bought furniture in a long time and was surprised at the good quality and prices!

I knew furniture could be very expensive esp. if made of real wood.

I might buy the table online (which I did) but the chair I would want to try out before buying! Some are so uncomfortable.

I hope you find something you really like!

Try Overstock. I was looking for a small kitchen pub style set and they had scads of sets. I didnt see any with 1 chair but lots of 2 chair sets. They offer just tables and separate chairs,too. Good luck hunting!

I've had good experiences with Overstock,by the way.

@Kachina624:

I figured thye'd be hard to find together, especially in a small size.

So far there's a chair that I like, but it's been tricky finding a rectangular table that will fit well in my apt. kitchen. And affordablity is key, of course..

Maybe what will help is that I'm not a "matchy-matchy" person and like to think outside the box. I like the practicality of your set, especially the drop leaf.

A desk is a great idea, @Desertdi.

I had a friend that used a tea cart with the fold down leafs as their kitchen table.

Another idea would be an old fashioned ice cream parlor set, small table with two chairs.

I think you should have two chairs.

@Barntoast:

Nice to hear it's been working out for you, and the pencil drawer is nice for character and storage. I bet the chair was a unique find at a good price; used to enjoy going to flea markets.

Will check out IKEA and World Market.

@on the bay:

Glad you did so well for your new home - can't beat great stuff at budget prices!

I agree that Homegoods has some real bargains, timing is everything, and you gotta grab your choice(s) right then. It's the same for other cool discount places like TJMaxx, Marshalls, and Ross.

For things you'd rather try out, you could get some deals online from stores that are local to you (like Target and Walmart), and if necessary, just return the item in-person. If you join their email list you'll receive notice of clearance, sales, special pricing, etc..

Appreciate the good vibes! 8)

@CelticCrafter:

The tea cart as a dining table is creative and pragmatic, and I also appreciate the ice cream parlor set idea.

Have you checked Wayfair? I just did a Google search for "small rectangular dining table for 2"--didn't think anything for 1 would come up. Wayfair has quite a few nice inexpensive ones.

@NickNack:

I forgot to go to Wayfair (appreciate the Google-ing you did) but will. Purchased a blanket from them at a great price back in 2016 that has held up well.

Cuddles and kisses to Frankie and Henry...

I recently purchased my Tiffany-style lamp from Overstock (my first purchase from them) - perfect!!!!

Don't mean to sound like master of the obvious but it doesn't sound like you want a dinette set at all, but rather, well, just a table and a chair... Shouldn't be hard to find...

Two chairs around a small bistro table would make sense. Doesn't anyone ever visit?
