If you are in the market for a new breakfast nook set then there is a design that is readily available online that you might be interested in.  This breakfast nook furniture is stylish and functional.  It can be a great addition to any home for an affordable price.

This set starts with a rectangular table measuring 50 by 34 inches.  Instead of a breakfast nook table and chairs, this set has bench seating.  There is an L-shaped wrap around bench for two sides of the table.  The wrap around bench has a corner seat that is at an angle to the other two sides of the bench.  Behind that seat there is a triangular shelf for displaying a vase or a piece of artwork.  Finally, there is another bench sitting opposite of the longer side of the L-shaped bench.  The bench seating allows you to fit more people at the table than you might otherwise be able to.

The breakfast table and the benches are both made of distressed poplar stained a rich dark brown.  The distressed look comes from the fact that the edges are nicked and the corners are rounded.  The table and benches are made of a combination of solid poplar and poplar veneer, which helps to keep the set affordable.  The dark brown stain is set off by a series of inlaid slate tiles in the bask rests of the L-shaped bench in the corner.  Part of the beauty of slate tile is that every single tile piece is different.  The colors and veins vary from tile to tile and that uniqueness makes every Santa Fe breakfast nook set a one of a kind piece of furniture.

One of the best features of this furniture set is that it is affordable.  You can purchase the set from various retail outlets and as a result, you can always looks around to find a better price.  The entire wooden breakfast nook can be purchased for less than $1,000 if you look around but around $1,200 is more typical.  However, do not be blinded by the price alone.  You should only purchase this set is it will go well with the décor in the rest of your kitchen.  The dark stain makes it inappropriate for kitchens with lightly stained wooden cabinets or painted cabinets that are light in color.  This set might work well if you have darker cabinetry or if you use slate tile on your kitchen floor in your kitchen backsplash.
