Each year, we at La-Z-Boy home furnishings and decor meet with hundreds of clients who are keen to design and furnish their homes. As a manufacturer and retailer of home furnishings for over 90 years, we often get asked our opinion about other furniture retailers. Ottawa area residents want to know “where can I buy a dining table and chairs?”
If you think about it, the dining room is indeed the heart of a home for many of us. These are the spaces where we share good times with family and friends, and indulge in everything entertaining, from cooking delicious meals to enjoying lively conversation. A beautiful dining set – one that reflects your taste and style – makes the experience even sweeter.
Full disclosure, we sell Canadel custom dining tables, dining chairs and barstools. While La-Z-Boy has a wide selection of dining options to choose from, we understand that we may not be for everyone, and we are committed to finding the best options for our customers.
As you evaluate the various dining stores, please remember that buying high-quality, comfortable home furnishings is only half the equation. The local dining furniture company you will do business with is responsible for the successful delivery and installation of your new dining room furniture.
