Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ashley Furniture a good brand for dining room furniture?
Yes. Ashley Furniture combines timeless design, quality craftsmanship, and everyday functionality in its dining tables, chairs, and sets, making it a reliable choice for everyday family meals and entertaining. Contempo Furniture is an authorized Ashley Furniture dealer, so every dining piece here is genuine and fully supported.
Is Contempo Furniture an authorized Ashley Furniture dealer?
Yes, Contempo Furniture is an authorized Ashley Furniture dealer, which means these dining sets come through official Ashley channels with full manufacturer backing and warranty coverage.
What size dining table should I buy for my space?
Leave at least 36 inches of clearance around the table for chairs to pull out and people to walk by comfortably. Measure your dining area first, then match the table shape and size to the room rather than choosing the largest table that fits.
How many people does a typical dining set seat?
Most Ashley dining sets seat four to eight people depending on the table size and shape, with round and rectangular options available. Extension leaves are available on some tables if you need extra seating for gatherings.

What is the warranty on Ashley dining room furniture, and what if a piece arrives damaged?

How do I care for a wood dining table so it lasts?
Use coasters and placemats to protect the finish, wipe up spills quickly, and avoid placing the table in direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time. A soft cloth and furniture-safe cleaner are usually all you need for regular care.
