If you want a simple, good looking place to sit down for everyday meals, this 5 piece counter height dining set is an easy win. The square counter height table gives you enough room for plates, laptops, or game night, without eating up your whole dining corner. The open shelf under the top is handy for stacking placemats, napkins, or a basket, so the surface stays cleaner during the week. The gray finish has a relaxed, modern feel that works in a small dining room, kitchen nook, or first apartment.\n\nThe four counter height chairs have padded seats and slat backs so you are not rushing to get up as soon as you finish eating. The frame uses composite wood, rubberwood, and mindy veneer, built to feel solid for everyday use. You do have to assemble it, but the pieces are straightforward and you end up with a clean, space saving counter height dining set that looks put together without trying too hard.
