Transform your dining space into a sophisticated gathering place with our curated collection of 134 luxury dining pieces from Essentials For Living. This California-based brand brings over 47 years of furniture expertise to every chair and table, combining contemporary aesthetics with transitional elegance that suits modern homes while honoring timeless design principles.

Essentials For Living emerged from the merger of Star International Furniture, established in 1977, and Orient Express Furniture, founded in 2002. This heritage unites contemporary sophistication with classic sensibility, creating dining furniture where style meets exceptional comfort and every meal becomes a memorable experience around beautifully crafted tables.

Our dining collection showcases signature design elements: clean lines meeting organic textures, neutral palettes providing endless versatility, and innovative materials like LiveSmart performance fabrics offering worry-free living without sacrificing style. From coastal-inspired rope weaving to natural gray finishes defining modern rustic elegance, each element is thoughtfully chosen for furniture that lives beautifully in real homes.

Indoor and Outdoor Options

This collection extends beyond interior walls with weather-resistant outdoor dining pieces crafted from washed ever teak and all-weather materials. Performance fabrics resist fading and moisture while maintaining soft comfort, creating seamless transitions between inside and outside living. Whether furnishing formal dining rooms or alfresco entertaining spaces, quality and design consistency define every piece.

Loom and Rope Weave Chairs

The Loom dining chair exemplifies artisanal craftsmanship with its hand-woven rope backrest creating architectural beauty and textural interest. Available in sand rope with light gray finish and natural gray mahogany frame, this chair brings coastal-inspired elegance to dining spaces. The rope and woven details add visual warmth while connecting contemporary design to traditional craftsmanship techniques that have endured for generations.

Upholstered Dining Chairs

The Chateau arm dining chair showcases sophisticated upholstered elegance in performance bisque French linen with natural gray ash frame. For versatile seating, the Martin dining chair offers LiveSmart Peyton-Pearl upholstery with frame options in natural gray or light honey oak. The Colleen and Colette collections provide additional upholstered options including slipcover styles for those preferring removable, cleanable covers.

Rattan and Natural Material Chairs

The Lucia arm dining chair features white rattan construction with light gray accents and natural gray mahogany frame, bringing organic character to dining rooms. The Caprice and Crescent collections offer matte gray rattan options with Blanche upholstery and matching binding details. Luna dining chairs deliver clean silhouettes in matte gray with coordinated binding for understated sophistication.

Specialty Dining Chairs

The Duet head dining chair combines LiveSmart Peyton-Pearl with performance bisque French linen, creating host chairs that distinguish table ends with elevated presence. The Dexter dining chair offers stone linen upholstery with natural gray frame for classic appeal. The Avalon and Adamo collections showcase French gray cabana loom construction with LiveSmart fabrics and mahogany frames.

Outdoor Dining Chairs

The Tapestry outdoor dining chair features taupe and white flat rope construction with taupe stripe accents, performance pumice fabric, and washed ever teak frame. The Costa outdoor dining chair offers oat flat rope with performance ecru weave and washed ever teak. The Bayview collection provides options for both indoor use with natural gray mahogany and outdoor use with washed ever teak frames.

Extension Dining Tables

The Hayes extension dining table in smoke gray pine provides flexibility for daily dining that expands for entertaining. Extension mechanisms allow you to maximize space efficiency while maintaining design integrity, transforming compact tables into spacious entertaining surfaces when guests arrive. This versatility is perfect for smaller homes or those who host occasional large gatherings without committing to permanently oversized tables.

Round Dining Tables

The Coulter 42-inch round dining table in burnished brown ash encourages intimate conversation while fitting efficiently in smaller dining areas. The Cannes 54-inch round dining table showcases natural oak with cane details for transitional appeal. Round tables improve traffic flow while maximizing seating capacity, making them ideal for apartments, breakfast nooks, and open-concept living spaces.

Oval Dining Tables

The Coulter oval dining table in natural gray ash and the Reeves oval dining table in smoke gray oak offer elongated surfaces that seat more guests than rounds while maintaining softer silhouettes than rectangles. Oval tables work particularly well in longer, narrower dining rooms where rectangular tables might feel overwhelming.

Outdoor Dining Tables

The Sur outdoor dining table in washed ever teak brings indoor sophistication to patios, decks, and gardens. The Knit outdoor 54-inch round dining table combines oat flat rope accents with washed ever teak construction for weather-resistant beauty. Marine-grade hardware and protected finishes ensure these tables withstand elements while maintaining beauty season after season.

Table Sizing Guide

Round tables up to 48 inches seat four people comfortably, while 54 to 60-inch rounds accommodate six. Rectangular and oval tables need approximately 24 inches per person along sides and ends. Allow 36 inches of clearance on all sides for comfortable chair movement when measuring your space.

Premium Hardwoods

Solid hardwoods including mahogany, ash, oak, and acacia provide structural integrity and natural beauty that improves with age. Mahogany frames in natural gray finishes anchor many dining chair designs, delivering the strength needed for daily use while showcasing distinctive grain patterns. Hand-selected veneers display the most striking grain patterns on table surfaces, while eco-conscious finishes protect wood without harmful chemicals.

LiveSmart Performance Fabric

LiveSmart technology offers stain resistance without sacrificing the soft hand feel of natural textiles. Produced with low-denier performance yarns encapsulated with moisture-repellent finish, spills bead on fabric surfaces rather than penetrating cushions. The fabric contains no harmful chemicals, making it safe for families with children and pets. Peyton-Pearl provides crisp neutral tones while Walden-Stone and other options suit varied color palettes.

Performance Linen

Performance bisque French linen combines the sophisticated appearance of natural linen with enhanced durability and stain resistance. This fabric option provides the aesthetic appeal of traditional textiles while meeting the practical demands of dining furniture that sees daily use. Easy cleaning with soap and water maintains appearance over years of service.

Rope and Woven Details

Hand-woven rope backrests and seats add artisanal character and tactile interest to dining chairs. Flat rope in taupe, white, oat, and sand colorways creates distinctive patterns while providing comfortable, breathable seating. These rope details connect contemporary furniture design to traditional craftsmanship techniques that have endured across cultures and generations.

Rattan Construction

Natural and matte gray rattan brings organic warmth to dining chair designs. Rattan's natural flexibility allows curved, ergonomic shapes that support comfortable extended dining. Matte finishes provide contemporary appeal while natural tones suit coastal and bohemian aesthetics. Binding details in coordinating colors complete the refined look.

Washed Ever Teak

Outdoor dining pieces feature washed ever teak, a premium hardwood renowned for natural weather resistance. The washed finish provides contemporary gray tones while the teak's natural oils protect against moisture, sun, and temperature fluctuations. This material maintains beauty through seasons of outdoor use with minimal maintenance requirements.

Creating Mixed Chair Arrangements

Contemporary dining design celebrates individuality through mixed seating. Pair armless side chairs with upholstered host chairs at table ends for visual interest and varied comfort options. Combine different finishes within the same wood family to create depth. The Duet head dining chair pairs naturally with Martin or Dexter side chairs, creating hierarchy that distinguishes the table's ends while maintaining cohesive design.

Coastal and Natural Themes

Rope-weave chairs like the Loom and Bayview collections anchor coastal dining rooms with their organic textures and natural colorways. Pair with light wood tables in ash or oak finishes. Layer in natural fiber rugs, linen table runners, and blue or green accents. The washed teak outdoor pieces extend this aesthetic to covered patios and screened porches overlooking water views.

Transitional Elegance

The Chateau arm chair in performance French linen suits transitional dining rooms where traditional comfort meets contemporary style. Pair with oval or round tables for softened silhouettes. Add a sideboard or buffet for storage while reinforcing the design vision. Natural gray ash frames coordinate with both warm and cool accent colors.

Modern Minimalist Dining

The Colette slipcover chairs in LiveSmart Peyton-Pearl create clean, fresh dining rooms emphasizing simplicity. Pair with extension tables in smoke gray finishes for contemporary appeal. Keep table settings minimal and let the furniture's quality speak through restrained design. White and neutral palettes allow seasonal updates through table linens and centerpieces.

Indoor-Outdoor Flow

Create seamless transitions between indoor dining rooms and outdoor entertaining spaces by coordinating furniture finishes and styles. The Bayview chair available in both natural gray mahogany (indoor) and washed ever teak (outdoor) versions enables this design strategy. Performance fabrics work in both environments, simplifying cushion and textile coordination.

Small Space Solutions

The Coulter 42-inch round table paired with armless dining chairs maximizes seating in compact dining areas. Round tables improve traffic flow while eliminating sharp corners. Extension tables provide flexibility without permanent footprint commitment. Slipcover chairs in light colors keep small spaces feeling open and airy.

Families with Children

LiveSmart and performance fabric options make this collection ideal for households where spills, messes, and daily wear are realities. Parents appreciate knowing that wine spills, spaghetti sauce, and everyday accidents clean up easily without permanent staining. The chemical-free fabric technology ensures safety for children while maintaining sophisticated appearance appropriate for adult entertaining.

Frequent Entertainers

Those who host regularly find extension tables and versatile seating options essential. The ability to expand dining surfaces for holiday gatherings then return to compact daily configurations maximizes space utility. Mixed chair arrangements accommodate varying guest counts while performance fabrics handle the inevitable accidents that accompany entertaining.

Outdoor Living Enthusiasts

Homeowners who embrace alfresco dining appreciate weather-resistant teak tables and all-weather rope chairs that bring indoor sophistication outdoors. These pieces transform patios, decks, and gardens into proper dining environments rather than compromised outdoor spaces. The same design quality and comfort expected indoors extends to exterior living areas.

Design-Conscious Homeowners

Those who appreciate thoughtful design recognize the value in Essentials For Living's approach: quality materials, careful craftsmanship, and neutral palettes that provide foundation for personal expression. These buyers understand that quality furniture represents long-term investment rather than temporary styling.

Interior Design Professionals

Designers specify this collection for residential projects requiring quality, durability, and aesthetic flexibility. The range of styles from coastal rope-weave to refined French linen accommodates diverse client preferences. Casa Bella Decor's Designer Trade Program offers special pricing and services for trade professionals.

Downsizers and Small Space Dwellers

Round tables, extension mechanisms, and armless chair options suit apartments, condominiums, and smaller homes where space efficiency matters. These buyers need furniture that performs multiple functions without overwhelming limited square footage.

Wood Table and Frame Care

Wipe spills immediately with soft, dry cloth to prevent moisture damage. For regular cleaning, use slightly damp cloth followed by thorough drying. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Apply furniture polish occasionally to nourish wood and enhance natural beauty. Position tables away from direct sunlight and heating sources to prevent finish fading.

LiveSmart Fabric Care

For everyday maintenance, vacuum upholstered surfaces with soft brush attachment. Address spills immediately by blotting with clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, mix one tablespoon liquid detergent with sixteen ounces lukewarm water, dampen cloth, and gently blot affected area. Rinse with clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Performance Linen Care

Performance linens clean similarly to LiveSmart fabrics. Blot spills immediately rather than rubbing. Spot clean with mild soap solution and allow complete drying. Professional cleaning is recommended for extensive soiling. Regular vacuuming prevents dust accumulation in fabric weave.

Rope and Woven Surface Care

Vacuum rope-weave chairs regularly using soft brush attachment to remove dust from textured surfaces. Spot clean with damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow complete drying before use. The durable rope construction withstands regular cleaning without degradation.

Rattan Care

Dust rattan regularly with soft cloth or vacuum with brush attachment. Clean with slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid excessive moisture that can damage natural rattan fibers. Position rattan chairs away from direct sunlight to prevent drying and brittleness over time.

Outdoor Furniture Care

Washed teak requires minimal maintenance. Clean periodically with mild soap and water, rinsing thoroughly. Teak naturally weathers to silver-gray patina if left untreated; apply teak oil annually if you prefer maintaining original honey tones. Store cushions during extended periods of non-use or inclement weather. Performance outdoor fabrics resist fading but benefit from occasional cleaning.

Slipcover Care

Remove slipcovers according to manufacturer instructions. Most performance slipcovers are machine washable on gentle cycle with cold water. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Replace covers while slightly damp for easier fitting. Iron on low setting if needed, avoiding direct contact with any decorative trim.
