What to Look for in a Round Dining Table

Type

Like all dining room tables, round tables come in various styles and configurations, including ovals and expandable options with leaves. Aside from traditional designs with four legs, there are pedestal, trestle, cluster, and tulip base options. A favorite of Decorist designer Casey Hardin, tulip-style tables offer “versatility in a range of different design styles.”

Size

When shopping for a dining table, be sure to consider the size. On the one hand, circular designs often?take up less space?than their rectangular counterparts. But on the other hand, they tend to be smaller.

Most round dining tables are between 40 to 50 inches in diameter, which is typically enough space to accommodate four people. However, you can find larger options measuring roughly 60 inches wide that can seat about six. But to fit eight or more people comfortably, you’ll most likely need to get an oval table, which will give you a bit more length. And before buying any table, be sure to measure your space.

Material

You’ll also want to consider the material. Durable, long-lasting dining tables are typically made of solid wood—extra points if it’s kiln-dried. However, you can find lots of great options made from a combination of manufactured and solid lumber.

All that said, marble or tempered glass tops can be really striking, especially on round tables. But if you opt for a material other than wood, we recommend looking for one with a stainless steel or otherwise durable metal base.
