Collection: dining tables

A dining table is more than just a spot to eat, it is the heart of any dining room. It is a place to share food with loved ones, a place to tell stories, and where you let the celebrations begin. Whether you’re hosting a wonderful dinner for guests or just enjoying a quiet meal, your dining table should be a place where everyday moments become meaningful. Without our large curated collection of tables, we have tables to suit every lifestyle, space, and aesthetic, allowing for a seamless fit into your home.

Types of Dining Tables

Selecting the perfect dining table comes down to a few factors, such as seating, space, and design. While these factors may be used as a guide, it is also important to look into the options you have available. Take a look at some of our most popular styles to get more insight and narrow down your options.

Rectangular Tables

For those looking for a traditional and versatile choice that can fit most dining rooms, you can be confident choosing a rectangular dining table. These tables offer ample seating and surface area, great for hosting gatherings and sharing food with family and friends. 

They work well in long row narrow rooms due to their size and are the ideal choice for formal dinners. You can find them with a seating capacity between four to ten people, but if you need a smaller alternative that is just as effective, consider a square dining table.

Round/Oval Tables

Create an eccentric dining experience for guests with the help of a round or oval dining table. These dining room additions foster intimate conversations and are perfect for smaller rooms. Additionally, because of their lack of corners, they allow for flexible seating, which means no one is left behind, and all guests are within view of each other. 

Although round dining tables are better suited for casual dining, they are just as versatile, being able to accommodate between two to six people and also fit in tighter spaces.

Extendable/Expandable Tables

For those who require even more flexibility and like to have the choice between a smaller compact table and a larger more accommodating one, an extendable dining table is a solid choice. Designed with versatility in mind, these tables are constructed with leaves or drop sections that can expand your seating area when needed. 

When you are finished or just want a compact form factor, these sections can be put back into place. If you have a growing family, a multipurpose room, or just love hosting, this table can take care of your needs.

Pedestal Table

If you don’t have a lot of space to work with but you need enough seating for at least a few people, a pedestal dining table is a great solution. The name is not a hint the the shape of the table but rather the footing. A pedestal table is supported by a single column in the middle of the table that supports the surface. 

They usually are available in round or square designs that often feature a smaller and more compact design. Because you don’t have to worry about four legs on each side, it is easier to accommodate more people with a smaller table.

How Many People Can My Dining Table Seat?

Although factors such as the size of your space and your seats may affect your table’s eating capacity, there is a general guideline to figure out how many people you can seat.

A round table between 36 and 48 inches can easily accommodate about four people, while a round table that’s about 60 inches can fit around 6 people. As for rectangular tables, those that are about 60 inches in length can accommodate four to six people, while rectangular tables between 72 and 84 inches in length can better accommodate six to eight people. If you have a particularly large group and want to accommodate 10 people or more, a table of 96 inches or longer will work well.

What Are The Standard Dining Table Heights?

When buying a table there are three general categories or heights you can choose from. Depending on your space and layout, you may want to opt for a taller or smaller table, but you can use this guide to help you select the bright one.

• Standard Height: 28 to 30 inches tall, which is a standard height for dining tables.

• Counter Height: 34 to 26 inches tall, great choice for casual or open layouts

• Bar Height: 40 to 42 inches tall, best for small bar areas or a pub-style experience.

Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that you’re dining chairs and seating can properly accommodate your table. An easy way to get a stylish and cohesive dining set up is to get a quality dining table set. Make sure to visit our Dining Sets section for more information.
