Anyone bought wood furniture from World Market? Good sources for casual dining set?

PP about the wood furniture places here again. I would expect to spend $800-1200 on a solid wood dining table from them. Just in case you're wondering about the price range.

We bought a solid acacia table and bench from Arhaus, then completed the set with 4 chairs from The Unfinished Furniture store in Chantilly. Love it all. Only had it a few months so we will see how it holds up.

Really happy with our table from WM.

Super happy with our WM table and chairs. Table was $400 on sale. As PP said, the wood used is really heavy; table weighs a ton! Tough though. And for the price, we are not concerned about an occasional scratch or nick.

Would certainly recommend WM tables.

I love their furniture, but with the dining tables, you have to check them out in person. A lot of them have textured tops, so not good for kids doing homework, etc...

We have had the Basque for 6 years and it's fantastic. Has held up beautifully through 2 small kids and is lovely to look at and a great style. I think it looks much better in person than on the website.
