The call

For bare-table basics, IKEA still sets the floor price. For upholstered dining chairs and bar stools, Homrest ships closer-to-assembled pieces with stronger padding for similar money once you price IKEA delivery. Cross-shop per piece: IKEA for tables, direct brands for the seats you sit in for hours.
