Why Dining Rooms Are Disappearing From American Homes

[Aristus]

7. Our house, which was built in 2003, and which we bought a year later,

has a formal dining room. We bought a nice, long (and very expensive) table and chair set for it. And in twenty years, we've used the dining room for its stated purpose five or six times, and not at all since before COVID-19. Mrs. Aristus and I eat in the kitchen/breakfast nook.
