A dining room set is more than just a table with chairs. A dining room set is therapy. It is a lifetime of happy memories. It is an investment in your child’s future.

According to an article in the Washington Post, “…dinnertime conversation boosts vocabulary even more than being read aloud to.… Adolescents who ate family meals five to seven times a week were twice as likely to get A’s in school as those who ate dinner with their families fewer than two times a week.… Family dinners have been found to be a more powerful deterrent against high-risk teen behaviors than church attendance or good grades.”

Norman Rockwell no doubt knew this as he painted Freedom From Want for the Saturday Evening Post in November 1943. Often referred to as a depiction of Thanksgiving or Christmas, in its simplest understanding,it is a family cheerfully sitting down to dinner at a large table.

Your table does not have to be so large or have a tablecloth or matching china, or even a home-cooked meal in order to engage cheerful thoughts. Your dining room table may be a fragile antique or something you whipped up in your wood shop, or the Nornas Drop Leaf Table from Ikea. Whatever form it takes, it is more than just a table and chairs, and if you are moving you probably want to take it with you. Moving a dining set is, for good reason, not an easy task. It's kind of like cooking a whole turkey. It takes time and thought, and if you are distracted by the other millions of things that you probably have to do, you may want some help.
