A dining room is an area for consuming food. Today it is next to the kitchen for convenience in serving usually, although in medieval times it was often on an entirely different floor level. Historically the dining room is furnished with a rather large dining table and a number of dining chairs; the most common shape is generally rectangular with two armed end chairs and an even quantity of un-armed side chairs along the long sides.In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other Western european nobility in castles or large manor residences dined in the great hall. This was a huge multi-function room capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The family would sit at the head table on an elevated dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of diminishing rank away from them. Furniture in the fantastic hall would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The utter number of folks in a Great Hall meant it could probably have had a active, bustling atmosphere.
