Is the Kody table solid wood?

The frames are solid rubberwood, but the tabletop and other large surfaces are engineered wood with oak veneer. That keeps the cost down and the grain consistent, but it is not a solid oak table.

How many people does the set seat?

The five-piece set seats four and the seven-piece set seats six. The table is rectangular, so the six-chair version puts two chairs on each long side and one at each end.

Are the chairs comfortable for long dinners?

The chairs are upholstered on the seat and back, which is more forgiving than a plain wooden chair. The seat height and 40.4-inch back suit most adults at a standard table.

Does the walnut finish need special care?

Dust with a soft cloth and wipe spills promptly. Avoid harsh cleaners and standing water on the veneer, and use coasters and placemats to protect the finish.

Can I buy extra chairs later?

Matching Kody chairs are the safest route, since a different chair line may not match the walnut finish or the upholstery. Availability of single chairs varies by retailer.

How does it compare with solid oak dining sets?

It costs less and looks similar at a glance, but rubberwood and veneers are softer and less repairable than solid oak. Expect a good everyday set rather than an heirloom.
