    How 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.

Shop a large selection of dining tables on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    A 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    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. Find a collection of antique and vintage draw-leaf dining tables on 1stDibs today.

    Whether extendable dining tables are worth it is a matter of personal opinion. The selling point of an extendable dining table is that it allows you to increase the length of your table when you're hosting guests for meals and conserve space on days when you're not. If you frequently entertain and the size of your dining room makes having a large table impractical, an extendable table may be an ideal solution. On 1stDibs, find a collection of extendable dining tables.

    How long a bench for a dining table should be depends on the length of the table. Generally, a dining bench should be equal in length, or 1 or 2 inches shorter, than the length of the side of the dining table where you intend to place it. 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.

    Dining room tables are typically 30 inches high.

  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    Yes, a round dining table is practical. Typically, shapes of dining tables that don't have corners save the most space. Working with a tighter space may mean that a round or oval dining room table, a design that references the festive meals of the medieval era, may be a better fit. Round dining room tables, particularly those that originated in the Art Deco period, still endure as a popular contemporary substitute for traditional rectangular dining tables. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of dining tables from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    No, a buffet usually shouldn't be longer than a dining table. Most experts recommend that you choose a buffet that is the same length or slightly shorter than your dining table. Keeping the two pieces in proportion with each other creates balance within a space.
