It looks kind of flat. You need to increase the contrast in the lighting -
mostly, make the shadows darker. Maybe even consider a spotlight to
deemphasize the background. Also, the reflectance of the table and chair
legs makes them look very busy; you could reduce the reflection or maybe
fiddle with variable reflection or other finish properties.

The chairs on either side of the table are very packed together, in contrast
to the rest of the scene which has empty or solid-colored areas. Try
rearranging objects (or giving the chairs more space) to even things out a
little.

Finally, the perspective of the scene isn't very interesting. It's a head-on
point of view that doesn't give a good sense of depth. I suggest rethinking
the camera setup.

Keep working on it!
