3,603 Dining Tables
Given that eating together is often the foundation of family life, finding the right dining table to accommodate your family and friends is a worthy investment. Whether used daily for the evening family meal or reserved for a more formal dinner party, dining tables are an important furniture item in any home. A good dining table will last decades — it can even be passed down from generation to generation. Besides being above all practical, a dining table also sets the overall mood of the space: A rustic unvarnished oak dining table offers an informal, casual feel, while a formal mahogany table for 10 evokes sophistication and formality. As you get ready to purchase a new dining table, consider what works for you and your household. More

How big should my dining room table be?
As you decide which table to purchase, think about how often you entertain and how many people usually attend. If you are a frequent dinner party host then a large dining table would be a worthy investment. On the other hand, if you are more of an occasional host, you might want to opt for an extending table with extra leaves for those special occasions. If you are really tight on space then folding dining tables with the chairs stowed underneath are a great space saving option that can be packed away when not in use. Whatever the size, be sure it fits the space. Measure the table and think about spacing of chairs to ensure that everyone can get in, out and around your table without too much effort.
What shape should I choose?
Both round and square dinner tables promote conversation and socialising, while large, rectangular dining tables are perfect for larger more formal parties. If you have a lot of space to play with, consider going for an oblong or octagon table for a look that mixes the traditional with the contemporary.
What table material should I get?
The material is mostly dictated by the overall style of the space; after all, your furniture should reflect your taste. Darker woods, such as cherry and mahogany, are often seen as elegantly traditional, while dark metals, concrete, and wood/metal mixtures offer a rougher more industrial feel. Oak tables and pine tables are a popular choice for contemporary living, moulded plastic tables can be modern and playful, while a glass dining table can suit any scheme, depending on the legs.
