Dining Tables

To choose the ideal dining table size, start by measuring your dining area and ensuring there’s enough space for movement. A general guideline is to leave at least 900 mm of clearance between the table and surrounding walls or furniture for easy access.

When determining seating capacity, allocate approximately 600 mm per person along the table’s length to provide comfortable spacing. This ensures a balanced mix of functionality and comfort, allowing everyone to dine with ease.

Extendable dining tables provide versatility, allowing you to adjust the size based on the number of guests. They’re perfect for those who entertain occasionally but prefer a more compact table for everyday use.

When choosing an extendable table, look for a sturdy and smooth extension mechanism to ensure durability and ease of operation. This practical solution helps maximize space while accommodating both intimate meals and larger gatherings with ease.

Dining tables come in various materials, each offering distinct advantages:

Wood: Classic and durable, wood adds warmth and can be refinished if needed.

Glass: Creates an illusion of space and is easy to clean but may require frequent maintenance to avoid smudges.

Metal: Offers a modern look and is highly durable, though it can be prone to scratches.

Marble: Luxurious and sturdy but can be heavy and may require sealing to prevent stains.

Your choice should align with your aesthetic preferences, lifestyle, and maintenance considerations.
