There are several reasons why you should buy your kitchen cabinets as a set rather than a piece meal. Breakfast nook sets can be purchased at any department store or large convenience store such as Target or Wal-Mart. If you belong to a price club like Sam’s or BJ’s, this is also a good place to look. All of these kitchen furniture sets will need to be assembled, but since there aren’t too many pieces, assembly should be relatively simple.

The first benefit is that all the pieces will match. When you buy a table in one place and several chairs in several other places, none of them are going to be stained or painted similar colors. You need to restore them to join. Of course, you won’t try to make it look the same, because that would be impossible. Instead, you’ll choose colors that complement each other and try to tie all the pieces together with some common element. There’s no need for all this work when you buy a breakfast bar set.

Another advantage is that there is often other furniture you can buy to match the set. A kitchen corner set consists of the breakfast table and the seating that surrounds it. However, there are other pieces of furniture that you need to fully furnish a kitchen. Kitchen island furniture, especially stools, for example. If you buy a set, you may be able to buy matching stools. A theme that moves from the corner to the rest of the kitchen is a good idea for continuity.

Another benefit of buying a set is that you can make sure everything will fit before you start shopping. Buying the pieces one at a time means you won’t know what all the furniture is before you start shopping. That means you run the risk of not being able to fit everything the way you want. When you buy a pre-packaged kit, you know the exact dimensions of everything up front and it’s easier to visualize it in space.

Finally, it is faster. While your eclectic taste may be best suited when searching for unique furniture deals at garage sales and estate sales, it takes quite a bit of time. Most homeowners have many responsibilities and cannot afford several weeks or months without a kitchen table while they search for the perfect chair or table.
