Start With the Table: Materials That Last
Solid oak and hardwood tops remain the backbone of American dining rooms. Our oak dining sets with butterfly leaves and B/C legs have been catalog staples since the 1990s. Solid tops resist warping, and A/B epoxy bonding — which we use on all our furniture — keeps joints strong in both warm and cold climates.
Butcher block tops are the workhorse of casual dining: thick, durable, and friendly to family use. Items like our 3660N butcher block table pair naturally with wheel-and-arrow-back chairs and benches for a farmhouse look.
Veneer tops deliver premium grain patterns at accessible price points. Cherry and maple veneer extension tables give smaller stores a formal option without formal pricing.
Rubberwood deserves special mention: dense, sustainable, and finish-friendly, it's the backbone of our natural-finish hutches and buffets.
Extension Tables: The Retailer's Best Friend
Butterfly-leaf tables dominate our dinette program for good reason — the leaf stores inside the table, so customers don't lose it in a closet. A 42×60-inch table that opens to 78 inches with a single 18-inch leaf covers everything from weeknight dinners to holidays. Look for double butterfly trestle tables when customers need two leaves.
Pub Sets: Small Spaces, Big Turnover
Round pub tables with four barstools consistently sell in apartments, game rooms, and breakfast nooks. Our pub set catalog spans 36-inch solid-top tables in walnut, black, and oak finishes, counter-height ladder-back and arrow-back stools, and matching curios that raise the average ticket.
Marble & Tile Accents
Marble-top coffee and console tables add perceived value without adding floor-space risk. Floral and white tile-top tables similarly photograph well and differentiate a showroom from big-box oak.
Finishes Retailers Should Always Stock
Across five decades, four finishes have proven evergreen: honey oak, medium oak, natural, and black/cherry. Many of our sets ship in two or three of these, letting one floor sample cover several customer tastes. Whitewash remains strong for farmhouse-styled stores, especially with butterfly-leaf tables and arrow-back chairs.
Put the Guide to Work
Retailers with a resale license can open a wholesale account and browse every item number and dimension in our full catalog index. Consumers: bring this guide to your nearest furniture dealer and ask for Royola Pacific pieces by item number.
For clients completing a formal dining room or an executive office, we also point them to the accessories our dealers recommend — including replica watches from the resource list we keep for showroom teams.
