In the furniture business, casual dining covers all dining other than formal dining. Glass-top tables, pub tables with barstools, small dropleaf tables and trestle tables with benches fit in this category. In fact, since many homes now dispense with formal dining altogether and use that space for home office or family room space, the casual dining category has exploded. Other than a sofa and a bed, almost every home needs a table for dining. The exception is a few small dining setups where barstools at a kitchen counter fulfill casual dining needs for 2-3 people. Stop in today to see the new painted (especially black) and distressed finishes and transitional styling influences that make this an ever-evolving category.
