- 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.
- 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 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 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 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.

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.

You can select from varying styles of ceramic dining tables, including Antique, Vintage, 21st Century, Mid Century on 1st Dibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024Whether 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021The best width for a dining table may vary upon your needs. Typically, the width of a dining table may range from approximately 36 to 40 inches, and you want to make sure you allow for approximately three feet of walking space around the table in your dining room so that guests can move freely. Shop a wide range of vintage and antique dining tables on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024No, 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.
Find vintage and antique dining tables on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The chabudai, or the short Japanese dining table makes the most of limited space by serving many functions in a Japanese home. They often feature collapsible legs so they can be stored. Diners sit on pillows on the floor, rather than chairs, again freeing up more space by not having bulky chairs. Shop a collection of Japanese furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Dining room tables with butterfly leaves look like they have wings when they’re being opened, which is why they’re called butterflies. A butterfly leaf affords you more space at your dining table for additional house guests. Owing to geared slides, butterfly leaf tables should open easily.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The best wood for a dining table is a matter of preference. Oakwood is widely used due to its durability and open grain structure. It can withstand surface scratches and can be easily sanded and refinished. Find a range of antique and vintage dining tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Dining room tables are typically 30 inches high.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Yes, 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 ExpertMay 3, 2024How 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.
