Solid wood does the selling here. Of the 109 dining pieces that move most consistently at Seldens, 86 are wood, from Stickley, Hooker Furniture, Mercana, Copeland and Lexington. These are makers who build a table to be refinished rather than replaced.

Hardwood Tables That Are Built to Be Refinished

A solid hardwood top can be sanded and refinished after years of homework, spilled wine and hot dishes. That is the argument behind the 29 dining tables on this list and the broader run of wood dining tables we carry. Copeland and the walnut pieces show it most plainly, with grain that keeps its character as the finish ages.

Chairs Are the Piece People Change Their Mind About

Chairs get reconsidered more than anything else here, which is why 30 accent chairs and 9 dining chairs sit near the top of this list beside the tables. Two things decide it. Arms have to clear your table apron, and a chair you sit in through a long dinner needs more back support than one used for breakfast. Upholstered heads with wood or fabric sides keeps a room from looking like a boxed set.
