On 1stDibs, shop a selection of dining tables from some of the world's top sellers.

How long should a bench be for a dining table?

How long a bench for a dining table should be depends on the length of the table.

For example, if your rectangular dining table is 60 inches long, benches that are 58 to 60 inches long would work well. Shop a wide range of dining room furniture on 1stDibs.

How can I identify my antique dining table?

What is a draw leaf dining table?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
A draw-leaf dining table means that the table’s leaves are stored under the main tabletop. The top of the table is lifted slightly on its frame and the leaves pulled out on each end. Relatedly, a drop-leaf table is a table with a fixed center section, but on either side of that, there are hinged leaves that can be raised or lowered according to your specific needs. The purpose of a drop-leaf table is to save space when the table is not in use. Drop-leaf tables can also be used as nightstands, side tables, coffee tables, and desks.
