dining rooms
William Morris once said, "Have nothing in your house that you do not know
to be useful or believe to be beautiful." One look at the dining room furniture in our
show room and you'll know we share William's philosophy. Every piece of furniture at the
Center of the World is both beautiful and useful.
Here is a sampling of the styles we offer. Like all Center of the World furniture lines,
these pieces are made to order in small local shops, using solid hardwoods that have been
locally grown and sustainably harvested. All are stained to order and feature easy-care
finishes. And all are made to our high standard for heirloom-quality furniture.
If your needs are more specific, please contact us to discuss a custom design.
