The table is the piece everything else in a dining room has to accommodate, so its dimensions drive every other decision in the space.
Chapel Hill's older housing stock and hilly, wooded lots make the delivery path more of a factor than in flatter, newer areas. Many Chapel Hill homes are older, with narrow original doorways, steep driveways, split-level layouts, and tight stair turns that affect what can reach an upstairs room intact.
Capital Discount Furniture is a locally owned, family-run store at 3921 S Miami Blvd, Durham, NC 27703. We serve Chapel Hill from that single 50,000-square-foot showroom. Chapel Hill lies west of the showroom, typically a drive via I-40 west. What follows describes how the store actually works, constraints included.
Getting the Dimensions Right
Before comparing dining tables, settle a few things about the room itself. These questions decide whether a piece works, separately from whether you like it.
· the table's footprint with and without leaves
· clearance from table edge to wall or walkway
· whether the height suits your chairs or stools
· how the top material handles daily use
On a steep or wooded Chapel Hill lot, note where a truck can actually park; that detail shapes the delivery more than the room measurements do.
Worth Seeing in Person
Our dining table selection covers table dimensions, shape, and extension options. In the showroom you can compare these directly:
· rectangular dining tables
· round and oval dining tables
· counter and bar-height tables
· tables with extension leaves
· coordinating chairs, benches, and stools

Getting It to the House
· We schedule a specific delivery day with an approximate three-hour window, and that window can widen for out-of-town stops.
· Choose White Glove Delivery and the crew handles indoor placement, assembly, and packaging removal.
· Deliveries run on our own trucks with our own crew, typically Monday through Saturday in the local market.
· Payment in full comes before scheduling, whether you are taking delivery or picking up.
· Delivery pricing varies with the destination and the contents of the order rather than a flat rate.
· Changes to a scheduled delivery need 24 hours' notice, or the fee still stands.
Two limits are worth knowing before you order. Tight turns or narrow doors can mean the piece is left in the closest suitable room for you to place. Old furniture is not moved or hauled away by the delivery team; plan its removal ahead of delivery day.
Have the route clear inside and mention any exterior obstruction ahead of time so the day is not lost. Secure children and pets while the crew is working, and check the order for accuracy before they leave.
Pickup runs by appointment only so your items are pulled and waiting. Chapel Hill customers should weigh the I-40 return against the size of the piece before choosing pickup. Check that the piece fits your vehicle, bring padding and tie-downs, and plan on loading it yourself, since staff do not load vehicles.
Up to 60 days of free storage is available from point of sale, after which unarranged items may go to Restore.

Timing, Financing, and Warranty
On timing: many items are in stock and available for immediate or same-day delivery or pickup. Special orders vary with manufacturer availability, holidays, and custom work; the team can give a clearer estimate at or before point of sale.
On assembly: factory-direct items need minimal light assembly and arrive with instructions, hardware, and basic tools; delivery crews assemble and remove packaging.
On financing: we work with Snap, Synchrony, and Wells Fargo, with options for a range of credit types with monthly payments, subject to approval and each program's terms. Snap advertises approval decisions in seconds and lease-to-own amounts up to $5,000. We accept financing, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or cash.
On coverage: everything sold carries a manufacturer warranty, which varies by manufacturer, and an optional 5-year protection plan is available, priced by what is covered.
What Sets the Store Apart
Jenny, Scott, and their kids live in Apex, which is also where Capital Discount Furniture began. They built the business from the ground up, and they stay active in the community and with Hope Community Church, looking for ways to give back.
The result for Chapel Hill customers is factory-direct pricing without a chain's markup, supported by a best price guarantee. The store has earned more than 1,300 five-star Google reviews along with WRAL Voters' Choice Award, Cary Living's Diamond Award, Indy Week's Best of the Triangle, and Cary Magazine's Maggy Award.
Brands on the floor include LMCO, Kincaid, Craftmaster, Stearns & Foster, Fusion Furniture, Universal Furniture, International Furniture Direct, and Classic Home, among others. We also offer Renew Staging & Design, an in-house staging and design service.
We are open Monday-Friday 11am-7pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, Sunday 12pm-5pm. Before making the trip from Chapel Hill, call (919) 600-1994 to check that the piece you want is out on the floor. Se Habla Espanol.

Questions Worth Answering
Will a large table fit through my door?
Measure the door opening, the hallway, and any turn, then compare against the table's full packaged dimensions. Flag anything tight before scheduling, since narrow paths can mean the piece stops at the closest room.
My Chapel Hill house has a steep driveway and narrow stairs. Will that be a problem?
Tell us before scheduling. Policy is that if hallways, doorways, or stairs make maneuvering unsafe, the item goes to the closest corresponding room and you handle final placement. Measuring the full path first, including the stair turn, usually prevents that outcome.
Is there a charge if the truck cannot reach my house?
If the residence is not accessible to the delivery truck, moving the furniture from the truck to the home becomes the customer's responsibility. Flagging a narrow drive or access restriction when you schedule usually avoids the situation entirely.
Can I get a table without the matching chairs?
Yes. Tables and chairs can be bought separately, which is useful when you are keeping existing chairs or want a different seat height.
Is a table with leaves worth it?
Often yes, if your seating needs change. A leaf lets a table sit smaller day to day and expand for guests. Confirm where the leaf stores, since some are self-storing and some are not.
