First impressions of the 6 seat dining table set
Our first impressions of the dining table were how big, sturdy and high quality the chairs look. The solid hardwood feels strong enough to withstand active kids and the table has a lovely oak finish.
Was the dining table 6 seater easy to use/put together?
Yes, it was very easy. You lay the main table part flat and you screw the legs on with the screws provided.
The dining table is very heavy, so I struggled to move it across the rug in the dining room. The chunky legs came off the hinges slightly. Now, it’s a little wobbly, so I would always recommend lifting the table with two people and don’t be silly like me and try to drag it yourself.
How to use the 6 seat dining table
You can use the 6 person dining table and chairs for eating, studying, reading, socialising, whatever you want! The table is strong enough at least for a family of six with two extra guests.
Was the 6 seater table comfortable?
We’ve used the 6 person dining table and chairs for eating, dining, talking and resting and we felt very comfortable while doing so. Even our toddler can sit down comfortably on the chair to eat.
What are the pros of using the Cotswold dining table?
The dining table and 6 chairs is the perfect size to fit in a small dining room so you don’t require a massive dining space to house a table for 6 to 8 people. It’s quite compact and very sturdy with a lovely flat surface in which to dine, study and socialise. The chairs are comfy enough to relax at the dining table.
What are the cons of using the dining table and 6 chairs?
The legs gave away slightly when I tried to drag the table over the rug, which was entirely my fault. They’re a bit wobbly now, but as long as you don’t make the same mistake I can see real longevity with the 6 person dining table and chairs, especially the seats which are built to last.
What would the dining table and 6 chairs be useful for?
My eldest used the 6 person dining table and chairs for the bulk of his 11+ revision and it was a comfortable area in which to have his tuition too.
The dining table is also great for hosting, relaxing and of course dining with a large family like ours.
Is this Cotswold dining table set for 6 worth the money?
If you’re looking for a dining table for 6 with chairs to fit your home decor furniture, then this is the set for you.
You’ll be hard pushed to find an extendable sturdy oak dining table that’s under £1,000, especially with six good quality chairs like the soft Milan chairs. Yet this dining table and chairs set is just £659* which is 25% off from the RRP price of £889!
What is my overall opinion of the Cotswold dining table and 6 chairs?
I love the chairs – they’re so soft and comfortable and having six of them means everyone gets to enjoy dining in comfort. The oak table is large enough for a family of six without extending it, so you can fit the table in a nice snug area like our dining room area and still have space to enjoy. If you have a larger space, you can extend the dining table further for 8 people. I love the oak finish and it withstands my toddler constantly etching and scribbling as well, albeit there’s a little wear and tear.
Ease of use
The dining table is easy to dine on and study with, and there’s plenty of space for people to enjoy. The chairs fit comfortably under the table so there’s plenty of space for legs too and the table has a nice finish so you can write on top easily.
Fits the purpose
The 6 person dining table and chairs is now the main hub of our home – I used to love studying for my 11+ and later GCSEs on the dining table at home and now my kids are following suit. We paint, eat, socialise, chat and work on the table and so it has become our favourite space in which to bond.
Style and comfort
As far as kitchen dining table products go, I think this dining table, especially the chairs is one of the most comfortable I’ve had so far. The 6 person dining table size is perfect for our dining space – not too big, but big enough to enjoy plenty of space.
If you have the space, you can fit this dining table at the end of your living room or in its separate dining room and it will fit nicely because everything seems quite compact, considering the size.
Functionality
The 6 person dining table and chairs does what it says on the packaging. It’s very easy to put together and extend when you need it – there are no other gimmicks needed.

Value for money
For under a grand price tag, this 6 person dining table and chairs are surprisingly good quality and perfect for what we need.
Extendable table usability
We have not needed to extend the table yet so we have only ever extended for review purposes. However, it’s very easy to do and it provides a nice bit of extension when you have guests coming over. It’s not needed though because the non-extended table is long enough as it is.
Chair quality
The chairs are the favourite part of this dining table set! They are comfortable, soft and sturdy, so perfect for kids of all ages!
