While I like the art and design in IKEA's furniture, I do agree there isn't wide variety and I also feel not all of their furniture is sturdy enough.

Hmm.. formal looking? Perhaps Home Plaza may be the place for you. It may be best to check out the largest  branch which is (as far as I know)on Prince Sultan Street right after Extra/Sultan Mall if you're heading North. I'm presuming that store would inevitably be exhibiting the most dining tables. I'm afraid most of them may be heavy though...

To be honest, I feel there aren't a lot of "convenient" (i.e., price-, design-, and durability-wise) furniture stores around here.. yet. Or I may be missing out..
