Our Table is affordable and competitively priced. Products range from $5 for silicone whisks, $30 for acacia wood cutting boards, $5 - $40 for table linens, to $120 for the 10-piece stainless steel cookware set, allowing for hosts to create a welcoming atmosphere for gatherings with family and friends.

"We are thrilled to announce the launch of Our Table at such a pivotal moment in time, as many of us are ready to welcome guests back into our homes after spending far too much time apart," said Joe Hartsig, Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer at Bed Bath & Beyond and President of Harmon Stores, Inc. "The Our Table collection is designed not only with functionality in mind, but also with the hope that it will inspire our customers to expand their circle and spend time with loved ones. Whether learning new recipes, passing down a family tradition, or simply gathering around the table to enjoy a meal, Our Table is a representation of the joy and love that food can bring to our communities and to our own kitchens at home."

To celebrate this launch, Bed Bath & Beyond created its first virtual cooking series "From Our Table to Yours," bringing communities across the country together around one table by way of three renowned hometown chefs hailing from Chicago, New York City, and North Carolina.  Joe Flamm, Vivian Howard, and JJ Johnson bring us into the kitchen to make some of their favorite dishes, exhibiting local flavors and aromas, alongside renowned chef, Joel Gamoran, of the virtual culinary institute Homemade.  "From Our Table to Yours" encourages people to cook along, find new flavors and share fresh ideas, because it isn't just the people gathered in our homes, but the collective community that inspires our love of food and cooking.
