Dining Seating Guide
The perfect dining room is all about creating a welcoming space for friends and family to gather. Whether you're the designated host of holiday meals, love throwing dinner parties, or need a simple space for everyday dining, it's important to find a table that will suit your seating needs. Review our guide to find the right table shape and size for your home and lifestyle, as well as helpful tips to create a warm dining space for any occasion.
Square
A square dining table provides a more unique, contemporary look to your home. For flexibility, find a square table with leaves to transform into a rectangle.
Rectangular
The classic dining room table. With plenty of style and size options, it's hard to go wrong, as long as you have the room for it.
Round
Round dining tables are great for smaller dining spaces or for those who love intimate, conversation-filled meals. Some round tables have leaves to expand into an oval.
Oval
If you love the overall appeal of rectangular tables, but appreciate smooth curves over sharp angles, then consider an oval table.
Leaves Extend Seating Space
Butterfly
Versatile and space-saving, butterfly leaves fold into more compact arrangements that may be easily stored.
Drop
Commonly found with smaller round tables, drop leaves add length to both sides of a table and remain attached when not in use.
Breadboard
Inserted into either side of a table to provide additional length, breadboard leaves offer unique table space and are often smaller than standard table leaves.
Removable
Available in a variety of sizes, removable leaves feature extended seating yet also necessitate a place for storage.
