Wildenauer 6-Piece Dining Set vs Bennox Dining Room Table Set

The Wildenauer is the better set for most shoppers. Its butterfly leaf extends the table to seat up to 8, while the Bennox is fixed at 6. The Wildenauer also assembles faster and uses solid wood chair frames with a two-tone farmhouse finish. The Bennox counters with faux leather upholstered seats and backs, a darker contemporary look and a one-year manufacturer warranty. Both are veneer-over-engineered-wood sets at similar weights, so expect comparable durability. Owners rate the Wildenauer slightly higher, though from more ratings.

• Choose the Wildenauer if you host larger groups, want a table that extends to seat 8, or prefer a farmhouse two-tone look with solid wood chair frames.
• Choose the Bennox if you want upholstered faux leather seats and backs, a dark contemporary style, and a set that seats 6 as delivered.
