Brief History/Intro
Founded in 1983, Barstools & Dinettes has grown into Raleigh’s premier destination for dining and bar furniture. Family-owned and operated, the company has spent over four decades helping homeowners and designers find the perfect fit for their homes — from dining sets and barstools to counter seating, pub tables, and kitchen furniture. Located at 8620 Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, NC, the expansive showroom showcases hundreds of customizable options in every height, finish, and fabric, with a strong emphasis on North American craftsmanship and heirloom-quality construction.
For generations, Barstools & Dinettes has stood apart by focusing on a hands-on, customer-first experience — encouraging visitors to see, measure, and test each piece in person before making a purchase. That same dedication to personalization now extends beyond the showroom. Beginning in October 2025, the company is introducing a new In-Home Consultation Service designed to bring its expertise directly to customers’ spaces. This service allows clients to receive professional guidance on furniture scale, finish coordination, and layout planning right in their own homes, ensuring every selection is both functional and perfectly matched to their lifestyle.
While dining and bar furnishings remain at the heart of its business, Barstools & Dinettes continues to evolve with its customers’ needs — expanding its offerings to include outdoor dining, buffets, hutches, and custom bedroom collections. Through its blend of timeless quality, customization, and now in-home design support, Barstools & Dinettes remains committed to helping North Carolina homeowners create comfortable, stylish spaces that stand the test of time.
The Barstools & Dinettes Furniture Design & Acquisition Process
As a Furniture Acquisition Expert specializing in interior design and space planning, my goal is to ensure that every piece we provide not only fits your home perfectly but also enhances how you live in it. Our process is designed to be personal, efficient, and seamless from start to finish — with every step handled by our own experienced team, never outsourced.
It all begins with our Furniture Discovery Questionnaire. This short form helps us learn about your home’s layout, your design preferences, and how you use each space. Once submitted, we schedule a personal phone consultation to review your responses and set up a convenient time for your in-home visit.
During the site visit, we take precise measurements, assess lighting and flow, and discuss your vision in detail — from functionality to finishes. This allows us to identify the best furniture lines, styles, and configurations for your space.
Next, we invite you to our Raleigh showroom for a hands-on experience. You’ll be able to see and test recommended pieces, explore fabric and finish options, and make your final selections with expert guidance.
Once your order is ready, our in-house white glove delivery and installation team completes the process with precision and care. Because every step — from design to setup — is handled by our own experienced staff, we maintain complete quality control and ensure a smooth, professional experience from start to finish. The result is a beautifully furnished home, tailored to your style, built to last, and delivered with the attention and expertise you deserve.
