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 Timber Table Top
- What is a table top?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A tabletop is the flat, horizontal part of a table that is supported by the table’s legs. It is the part of the table where your meals are served. Tabletops come in various shapes, sizes and designs, and a variety of tables can be found on 1stDibs.
- What is a Formica table top?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021Formica table tops are tabletops that are made of a composite material invented for industrial products in the early 1900s. Formica, today, is one of the brands that produces HPL, a high-pressure laminate that is heat-resistant and durable and ideal for use in tabletop construction. Find a collection of antique and vintage tables on 1stDibs.
- What is a plank top table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The plank top table is a modern interpretation of the traditional harvest table. Some plank top tables from modern brands feature cosmetic grooves in a solid tabletop that allow them to appear planked. The grooves are superficial, but this feature allows the boards to work together without the threat of gaps materializing. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage plank top tables.
- What is a flip top table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021As the name suggests, a flip top table is that piece of furniture with a hinged leaf that lies flat on the top of the table and folds outward to double the size. Flip top tables are both elegant and stylish and can add a modern element to any room at home, a workplace or at school. The tables are easy to set up and help create ample space for use. Find a collection of antique and vintage flip top tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Solid wood has largely been hailed as one of the most durable table tops, specifically oak and birch. Oak has an open grain and shows the least wear and tear. You can shop a selection of wood tables from some of the world’s sellers on 1stDibs.
- Is a lacquer table top durable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, lacquer table tops are extremely durable and add a glossy look to furniture.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Before attaching a marble top to a table, make sure the table can handle the weight. Then, clean the surface and apply a silicone adhesive and attach the marble. Save the hassle and shop a selection of furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A tilt top table is a type of table where the top is attached to the central pedestal on a hinge that can be turned horizontally to reduce space when not in use.
- What is a tray top coffee table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021Tray top coffee tables are coffee tables with long, flat rectangular surfaces that are supported by an x-frame base. Low tables that were initially used as tea or coffee tables have been around since at least the mid- to late-1800s. After coffee drinking and “coffee breaks” became popular, it didn’t take long for coffee and cocktail tables to become a design staple and for consumers to recognize their role in entertaining no matter what beverages were being served. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary tray top coffee tables from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The height of a lift top coffee table should match the sofa or chairs that it is used with. The top of the coffee table should reach the height of the seat of the sofa, or within one to two inches lower than it. On 1stDibs, find a range of lift top coffee tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes, you should put glass on top of your dining table to minimize scratches and wear. Glass allows you to see the beauty of the wood while protecting it from everyday wear.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The best thickness for a glass table top depends on usage. If the glass is used just as a cover, then ¼-inch thick glass is likely good enough. If the glass will be used is as a table surface, then you should choose the thickness of the glass according to the size of the table. If the glass used is supporting heavy items, or its size is more than 24 inches, then choose glass that is thicker than ¼ inch. Thicker glass will feel and look more substantial, but thicker glass becomes heavier with increasing size. On 1stDibs, find antique and vintage glass-top dining room tables, glass-top coffee tables, side tables and more.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023You can substitute a number of things for a glass table top. Try painted wood, marble or sheet metal. To decide what to use, consider the overall style of your room and the other types of materials featured in the space. Shop a selection of tables from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What you put on top of a large coffee table really comes down to a matter of preference. Candles, books and decorative bowls are common design choices. You can shop a variety of coffee table goods from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
