Dining furniture jargon buster
Your quick reference guide to materials and finishes
| Butterfly dining sets | This includes a table with two leaves or ‘wings’ that fold outwards to give you a bigger table. When it’s not being used, you can fold both away and sometimes even store the chairs underneath. |
| Breakfast sets | This includes a narrow bar-shaped table that give you enough space to seat two people. |
| Solid wood | It has a natural appearance. With knots, grains and slight variations in colour, no two pieces will look exactly the same – so you’ll get something really unique. |
| Real wood finish | This means the furniture has been finished with thin layers of real wood. It’ll still look like solid wood, but it’ll be lighter in weight and less expensive to buy. |
| Wood effect finish | That means the furniture has the look and feel of real wood, but with a more consistent colour and appearance, making it easier for you to create a totally coordinated look. |
| Metal and glass | This makes it easy for you to create a contemporary feel that’s also durable and easy to maintain. Choose frosted or clear glass to create a great sense of space and light. And rest assured that the tempered glass in our glass and mirrors meets British Safety Standards BS6202 regulations. |
| Self-assembly | These items come flat packed for you to assemble at home. For some items, more than one person will be needed for assembly. |
