Don't Overlook Costco For Stylish Dining Room Sets That Can Fit Many Guests

Formal dining rooms are rumored to have become a thing of the past, but they're coming back in a big way. As more and more people are looking to entertain, throw memorable dinner parties, or create impromptu supper clubs, the space is becoming an important feature in people's homes again. The work-from-home office or home gym is being shuffled out of what was becoming considered a flex room, and in its place is a stylish dining room set. However, if you want to get a set that can fit a robust number of guests, you might be gearing up for your wallet to take a massive hit. After all, the cost of chairs isn't cheap. However, you might still be able to furnish the space in a budget-friendly way if you head to Costco. 

Costco has plenty of stylish dining room sets, and they come in a bevy of different styles, ensuring there is something for everyone. Whether that's a farmhouse-inspired wooden table with white chairs or a more transitional mango wood dining set, you're likely to find something that fits your aesthetic. The best part is that many of these sit upward of 10 people and clock in between the $1,500 and $3,000 mark. Here is a closer look at what you can find.

If you want to entertain plenty of guests, then it pays off to get a large dining set right off the bat so you don't have to scramble with bringing out folding chairs. The Appalachian Dining Collection, for instance, comes with a 10-piece set that has gotten 4.1 stars out of 560 reviews. Of those, 352 of them have received 5 stars. The set includes a table, six side chairs that flank the side of the table, and two armchairs that go on either end of the table. It also comes with a sideboard, completing the set. Constructed from a warm brown mango wood and dark brown cushions, it has a transitional or traditional vibe. And even better, the entire set costs $3,300. 

If you prefer a more rustic style, then consider the Newport 9-piece Dining Table Set. It has a dark brown oak veneer top and white wooden chairs with criss-cross backs and taupe seat cushions. With 4.7 stars from 354 reviews, 293 of which were 5 stars, it comes with eight chairs and one 9.5 feet table, giving you plenty of space for entertaining. It also has an 18-inch leaf, extending the table further and making it a versatile expanding dining table. And at just $1,7000, it's an affordable setup.
