table shapes
When you think of a table, many people automatically think of a square, rectangle, or circle. There are actually many different shapes you can choose from, including ovals, half circles, and more irregular shapes.
rectangular table tops
Rectangular table tops are perhaps one of the most popular options when it comes to choosing a table. The simple, linear shape of a rectangular table fits easily into most rooms, making it easy to move around the table.
They are practical, functional and perhaps most importantly, a comfortable option to have at home. The long, narrow design lends itself to large-scale entertaining; you can often seat more people around the table compared to other format tables. In a small room, a rectangular table can easily be pushed against the wall to save space and pulled out when you have guests over, especially if you opt for a bench. Rectangular tables are also extremely versatile; you can easily add eaves to create an extendable table.

square table tops
Another popular option when it comes to tables is the square top. Ideal for those with a smaller space, square tables are a great way to maintain balance and proportion in symmetrical settings.
Typically seating four to eight people (depending on size), square tables are generally not as large as rectangular ones. However, since each person sits at the same distance from each other, the conversation is always comfortable and relaxed. Also, if you need more desk space, you can always push two square tables together.

Round/Circular Table Tops
Circular dining tables are perfect for small spaces. They allow you to move freely through the space without bumping into sharp corners.
A big advantage of round tables is that their seating capacity is not as rigid as rectangular or square tops; you can always gather a few more people around the table. It is also probably one of the most sociable shaped tables, as the round shape creates a more intimate and “equal” atmosphere.
However, round tables can be difficult to place at home, since they cannot be placed in a corner or against a flat wall. So if you're going to go for a round table, make sure you pick a place for it first.

oval table tops
A modern take on the circular table, oval tables are becoming an increasingly popular option in the home.
An oval dining table combines the linear simplicity of a rectangular top, but with the intimacy of a round one; It's the best of both worlds! Oval tops are usually similar to rectangular tops in terms of size, so you can usually fit more people around you. However, the curved nature of the top visually seems to take up less space, therefore, to the naked eye, it makes the space appear larger.
Similar to a circular table, due to its rounded edges, an oval table does not have a predefined number of seats. This means that whenever you have a last-minute guest, it's a breeze to add another chair.

D – Shaped/Half-Circle Table Tops
A D-shaped (half-circle) table is a great way to furnish spaces of all shapes and sizes.
While D-shaped tables are most commonly used in conjunction with console tables or office desks, they also offer a number of benefits when used as a dining table. The flat side of the table can rest against a wall, while the round side provides an aesthetically pleasing finish with ample space. Plus, they're usually sold with a "butterfly top" that can be folded flat in a full circle, giving you more desk space when you need it without compromising space.

Irregular shaped table tops
For those who really want to be different and get a dining table that stands out, opting for an irregular shaped top is the perfect way to achieve a unique look. Choosing a custom table means you can add your creative touch to your home and get a table made just for your space.
The downside to having a custom made irregular shaped table is that you really have to make sure you have the space to accommodate it. Otherwise, you risk the table making the space feel cramped and small, reducing its wow factor.

table materials
Choosing the right material for your table is another important consideration, as you'll need to consider what the table is being used for and how you want it to appear. For example, we don't recommend a nice oak table in a conservatory unless you're willing to keep it covered when not in use, as the sun is likely to discolor the wood.
solid wood table tops
Solid wood table tops are perhaps one of the most popular options when it comes to dining room tables. Beautiful, but also resistant, it is a great option for those looking for a piece of furniture to invest in. When choosing a solid wood table, there are several types of wood to consider, depending on your budget and desired style.
Carvalho
Oak is a beautiful and generally strong wood. As oak trees need a longer growth period, the wood produced is dense, which means that when cared for well, the table will last a long time. Oak can come in many colors and variations, so you can be quite specific in your choice of style. However, the stain can get too dark and exaggerate the grain to make it appear two-tone.

ashes
Ash is not only handsome in appearance, but also incredibly tough. Light brown in color, the wood typically has a straight grain that gives it a uniform, attractive appearance. Ash tends to be a bit cheaper than other hardwoods as it is widely available around the world, making it an affordable option. However, gaping holes can be found in the surface of the wood due to the nature of the grain which often needs filling and is prone to warping if exposed to moisture for an extended period of time.

Beech wood is an extremely strong and durable solid wood. The nature of the wood means that it resists knocks and chips better than other woods, which makes it ideal for high-traffic areas in the home, such as the kitchen or dining room. It is also a shock-absorbing wood, which means that it can support a lot of weight and take a lot of impact without damage. Naturally light in color, Beech wood has a fine, straight grain, giving it a beautiful even texture. Although beech is a durable wood, it is not suitable for outdoor use as it is not weather resistant and extremely heavy, which can make it difficult to move around the house.

Teak wood has a very high oil content, which makes it very weather resistant. This makes it a great option when it comes to garden furniture. The natural properties of wood also make it resistant to light and heat, perfect for a dining table. The teak is a reddish-gold color, with dark golden-brown veining when freshly cut. Over time, this color lightens as it dries, giving it a unique aged look. Teak is an extremely durable option when it comes to a solid wood table, however it tends to command one of the highest prices for this reason and is therefore not suitable for those on a budget.

mango wood
Classified as a hardwood due to its dense grains, mango wood is strong and highly durable. The natural color of the wood is usually golden brown, although there are also variations that have a more yellowish tone or have black or pink veins. It's also highly sustainable: mango trees quickly grow into hardwood, which means they can be easily replaced, creating a sustainable cycle of planting and harvesting. While mango wood is extremely durable, the wood can be susceptible to fungal attack, so it's important not to use unfinished wood, such as wax. During dry weather, wood also tends to dehydrate; If it is exposed to sources of heat or the sun, cracks can form relatively easily.

Nut
Walnut wood stands out for its darker and more daring appearance, with shades ranging from light brown to dark chocolate. It's one of the strongest and most durable woods you can use for a dining table, but it does require maintenance to keep it looking its best. As one of the rarer woods, walnut can be a bit more expensive than other equivalent solid woods, so it might not be suitable for those on a budget.

Pino
Pine is a slightly softer wood that is light in color, ranging from creamy white to yellow. It's a popular choice for those looking for a rustic or farmhouse design and is a great option for those who aren't quite ready to invest in other types of wood yet. However, pine is not as durable as other woods such as oak or ash, so it is prone to scratches and dents, which is something to keep in mind.

veneered table tops
Veneer table tops refer to thin layers of wood that are applied to either side of a sturdy surface, typically furniture-grade MDF. Many people assume that veneer tables are inferior to solid wood options; however, if done right, it can be just as durable. A veneer table is environmentally friendly as less wood is used, however, it can blister or peel around the edges, so it doesn't last as long as other materials.

quartz compound
Quartz is a naturally occurring mineral made up of silicon and oxygen, with tabletops often being made by grinding natural quartz into a powder and combining it with other natural and synthetic materials to make it hard and durable. If you're looking for a tabletop that won't easily crack, scratch or chip, as well as a sleek design, quartz is an ideal choice. It's also non-porous, which means it resists stains, juices, oils, wines, coffee, and other common tabletop spills. However, if you are on a tight budget, consider alternative options, as all the great aspects of quartz come at a high cost. And while quartz is heat resistant, the other materials used to make the table are not, meaning hot pots or hot drinks placed on the surface could cause discoloration or permanent damage.

composite ceramic
Ceramic finishes are a popular choice when it comes to dining room tables, especially for those looking for a modern aesthetic. Ceramic is an artificial, man-made material composed of clay mixed with other inorganic materials that give it the appearance of marble. It is then dried and glazed to form a completely sealed finished surface. It is a strong and resistant material that resists splashes, scratches and heat, which is very important for furniture such as dining tables. And while ceramic tabletops are a great option for those on a budget, it's important to note that they tend to be very thin, about a quarter of an inch, which might not quite match the look you're going for.

Granite
Formed over millions of years from molten rock compressed below the Earth's surface, granite is extremely hard and durable. Along with incredible heat resistant qualities, granite is highly resistant to wear and tear, so scratching or chipping is highly unlikely. Granite is composed of interconnected mineral crystals, the most common being feldspar and quartz. But a variety of other minerals can be included, and this makes each piece of granite unique. Because granite is completely natural, color and pattern variations in each slab are unique. Like quartz, granite isn't cheap, so it might be worth looking into alternatives like ceramic.

Marble
Marble is a natural material that is quarried all over the world, with different areas producing different variations. Marble is not only impressive, but it is also a very strong and resistant material. However, due to its natural properties, it is very porous, thus requiring more care and maintenance. Marble needs to be dusted and cleaned regularly and everyday spills like coffee or orange juice can cause irreversible stains. Since marble is a thick material, the tabletop will be extremely heavy and difficult to move, which is worth keeping in mind if you plan to move the table frequently.

Vaso
It's not always the most obvious choice, but a glass dining table can be a beautiful and timeless addition to your dining room. Because glass is transparent, it doesn't block the view behind its top surface, and it also reflects light, creating the illusion that your dining room is much larger than it actually is. Glass is very easy to clean, if you spill anything a quick wipe will remove anything without staining or leaving a permanent mark. However, due to the nature of the material, glass tables often need a lot more cleaning, as even the smallest marks, such as fingerprints, show up. Although glass tables are quite durable, accidents can always happen, so it might not be a suitable option if you have children or unpredictable pets running around; if the glass breaks, the consequences can be dangerous.

Metal
Perfect for anyone looking for an industrial-inspired interior, metal tables are more popular than you might think. Unsurprisingly, metal offers incredible durability and strength. Because they are smooth and without pores, metal table tops are extremely practical and do not require any special maintenance to keep them in good condition. However, it is important to remember that metal naturally absorbs heat, so you will always need to use coasters for hot dishes. Unsurprisingly, a metal table is one of the most expensive materials you can choose, so you'll need to invest heavily if you buy one. Many other materials come with cheaper and more affordable options, but unfortunately even lightweight metal comes at a cost.

Teja
Tiles aren't just for floors or backsplashes anymore, they're also a great way to create a completely unique dining table. Tiled tables are a great way to inject character and style into a room, as well as some texture. Porcelain stoneware is an ideal option as it is non-porous and highly durable. However, because the surface is not smooth like alternative table tops, tile tables can be difficult to clean. Tiles can also chip easily, which is something to keep in mind, although individual tiles are much easier to replace than an entire table top. Tiled tables aren't easy to come by, so you'll need to find a company that can do custom orders or get familiar with some DIY.

table sizes
When choosing the size of your table, you should consider both everyday and occasional use in order to determine which table is right for you.
The general rule of thumb is to try to leave 36 inches from the edge of the table to the nearest wall or piece of furniture, make sure your guests have enough room to get in and out of the table easily, and allow about 24-30 inches per chair for a comfortable seat.
For formal seating, try to leave 30 inches between each chair to ensure each guest has plenty of space. For everyday family seating, you must allow 24 inches between each chair. By following these rules, it's a safe way to transition from casual to formal dining when necessary.
The shape of your dining table will also affect how many chairs you can fit around the table. Rectangular tables are king when it comes to accommodating more guests around the table, but round or circular tables are a great option for those short on space. We've put together this handy guide to help you decide which table is right for you.
table bases
Once you have decided on the shape of your new table and the material of the table, you need to consider the base of the table. Gone are the days when tables simply came with four legs, now there are several different table bases you can choose from, each with their own components.
Types of table base
- butterfly base

Square table bases refer to a square shaped iron frame into which a table is placed and secured to the top. Instead of simply adding two legs to each end of the table, the frame supports the entire table, making it extremely sturdy. You can also get a modern version of the square frame as an extended table base to support rectangular tables as well.

Other frequently asked questions
Is MDF suitable for a table?
MDF is generally considered a cheaper alternative to solid wood and is often perceived as inferior in quality. However, since the main ingredient of MDF is sawdust and small chips of other woods, the cost of the material is much lower than plywood and solid wood.
You can read more about the advantages and disadvantages of MDFhere.
Which is better: a round or rectangular dining table?
There is no right or wrong answer, it all depends on your space and what you plan to use the table for.
Round tables are great for entertaining as you can easily see everyone around the table and it's easy to add more seating around the table if needed. That said, round tables can be difficult to fit around the home, as the circular shape of the table top means it can't be placed in a corner or lean against a flat wall.
Rectangular tables are perhaps the most practical table shape: the long, narrow design lends itself to large-scale entertaining, and for those short on space, it can easily be pushed against a wall to save space.
What material can be used for table tops?
Gone are the days when tables were made of plywood, from solid wood, granite and glass tops to quartz composites, ceramic composites and even marble, the options are truly endless.
What is the most durable tabletop?
Most of the materials used to make tables are durable due to the nature of the furniture, but there are some that are a bit more durable than others. Solid wood and quartz are two of the most durable materials to use when it comes to tabletops.
Solid wood tables are known for their durability, with oak and maple being extremely strong when cared for properly.
A quartz tabletop is a great alternative to your natural stone slab option. Highly durable and scratch resistant, quartz stands the test of time.
The best thing you can do is choose a table that best suits your lifestyle.
