Find 150 antique and vintage dining table bases at 1stDibs now, or shop our selection of 37 modern versions for a more contemporary example of this long-cherished furniture. There are all kinds of dining table bases available, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. Dining table bases are generally popular furniture pieces, but Modern, Mid-Century Modern and Hollywood Regency styles are often sought at 1stDibs. Some dining table bases are too large for some spaces — a variety of smaller dining table bases, measuring 5 inches across, are available at 1stDibs. Dining table bases have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by Gianluigi Landoni, Mastercraft and Paul Evans are consistently popular.
How Much are Dining Table Bases?
Dining table bases can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $6,633, while the lowest priced sells for $275 and the highest can go for as much as $38,000.
Finding the Right Tables for You
The right vintage, new or antique tables can help make any space in your home stand out.
Over the years, the variety of tables available to us, as well as our specific needs for said tables, has broadened. Today, with all manner of these must-have furnishings differing in shape, material and style, any dining room table can shine just as brightly as the guests who gather around it.
Remember, when shopping for a dining table, it must fit your dining area, and you need to account for space around the table too — think outside the box, as an oval dining table may work for tighter spaces. Alternatively, if you’ve got the room, a Regency-style dining table can elevate any formal occasion at mealtime.
Innovative furniture makers and designers have also redefined what a table can be. Whether it’s an unconventional Ping-Pong table, a brass side table to display your treasured collectibles or a Louis Vuitton steamer trunk to add an air of nostalgia to your loft, your table can say a lot about you.
The visionary work of French designer Xavier Lavergne, for example, includes tables that draw on the forms of celestial bodies as often as they do aquatic creatures or fossils. Elsewhere, Italian architect Gae Aulenti, who looked to Roman architecture in crafting her stately Jumbo coffee table, created clever glass-topped mobile coffee tables that move on bicycle tires or sculpted wood wheels for Fontana Arte.
Coffee and cocktail tables can serve as a room’s centerpiece with attention-grabbing details and colors. Glass varieties will keep your hardwood flooring and dazzling area rugs on display, while a marble or stone coffee table in a modern interior can showcase your prized art books and decorative objects. A unique vintage desk or writing table can bring sophistication and even a bit of spice to your work life.
No matter your desired form or function, a quality table for your living space is a sound investment. On 1stDibs, browse a collection of vintage, new and antique bedside tables, mid-century end tables and more .
Questions About Dining Table Bases
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A table base should be roughly two-thirds of the size of the tabletop. So a top with a 60-inch diameter should be paired with a 40-inch base.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024How high a dining table should be varies. If you already have your dining chairs, look for a table that is 10 to 12 inches taller than the seat height to provide ample legroom. The standard height for dining tables is around 30 inches. However, you can opt for taller pieces, such as 34- to 36-inch counter-height tables or 40- to 42-inch bar-height tables. Shop a large selection of dining tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024How thick a dining table should be varies. Many tables feature tops that are between 0.75 and 1 inch in thickness. However, some tables may have tops that are up to 2 inches thick. Typically, tables with thicker tops will have a more rustic appearance. Shop a large selection of dining tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A dining table with leaf is a dining table that has its middle part as solid and remains in place, but the two sides of the table drop down on a hinge, so they hang at the side. This is where the name 'drop leaf' comes from. Many homeowners have decided to go with leaf tables as they offer a lot of flexibility to their homes. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of dining table options as well as a range of vintage and antique drop-leaf tables.
- What is an MCM dining table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022An MCM dining table is a table that reflects the mid-century modern style. Typically these tables are functional and have clean minimalist lines. MCM furniture is made with a variety of materials and colors, but wood is the most common. Find a selection of mid-century modern tables and furniture on 1stDibs.
- What is the best dining table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021Dining tables come in a huge variety of styles and are often chosen according to individual preference. The best dining tables are ones that are sturdy, well-made and able to withstand wear and tear. You should also consider your space limitations as well as budget. Find a versatile collection of antique and vintage dining tables on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The narrowest a dining table can be is 36 inches. This leaves 18 inches of space for each of the guests on the opposite side of the table, as well as room in the center for serving dishes or platters. Find a collection of antique and vintage dining tables on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024How wide a dining table should be largely depends on its shape. Most rectangular and oval dining tables are 36 to 40 inches wide. Round table widths or diameters vary and will determine how many people can sit comfortably at one time. Generally, a round table 36 to 44 inches in width is ideal for up to four people, while ones that are 44 to 54 inches in diameter can accommodate four to six. Tables between 54 and 59 inches in width are suitable for six to eight people. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of dining tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024The height of a dining table varies from piece to piece. However, standard dining tables are usually 28 to 30 inches tall.

On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of dining tables from some of the world's top sellers.
- Is a dining table necessary?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024No, a dining table isn't always necessary. People who eat only a few meals at home may not need a dining table, and some people prefer to eat at kitchen counters using counter-height stools. Or, they may choose to sit on the floor in front of a coffee table or to take their meals at a desk or on a TV tray or end table. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of dining tables.
- Is onyx good for a dining table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 7, 2024Yes, onyx can be a good material for a dining table. The mineral is strong, but it is relatively lightweight, making tables easy to move throughout a room as needed. Many people find the color and luster of onyx tabletops to be visually appealing. Since the material can become scratched or damaged by heat, it is important to take steps to protect an onyx dining table by using felt-backed trivets or heat-resistant fabric mats beneath hot dishes. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of onyx dining tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A small dining table is also called a dinette. A table and two to four seats are frequently included. Designed for small spaces, dinettes are most often used in kitchens and breakfast nooks. On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage and antique dinettes.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Whether mahogany is good for a dining table is largely a matter of personal preference. Some people may prefer the hardwood for their dining room furniture owing to its natural beauty, durability and stain-resistant qualities. Mahogany also features a striking natural grain that renders it ideal for use in that part of your home, specifically as dinner guests will be able to experience it! Shop a range of mahogany dining tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021A drop-leaf table is a type of table that has a fixed portion in the center and foldable portions on either side joined by hinges. These foldable portions can be dropped and closed to save space when the table is not in use. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage drop leaf dining tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To protect your maple dining table, use placemats or a tablecloth to reduce the risk of scratches. Always place a trivet underneath hot serveware to avoid scorching the finish. Set glasses on coasters to keep rings off the wood. Shop a selection of vintage and antique dining tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Large dining tables are usually called banquet tables due to their ability to seat a crowd. Normally, banquet tables measure over 10 feet in length.
