When selecting the best combination of dining table and chairs for your dining room, consider which shape of table would work best in your space. If you’re working with a compact dining room, it’s worth considering a round dining table set over a traditional rectangular dining table due to its smaller surface area.
At Furniturebox, we stock a wide range of dining table sets that include round tables — a great option for those who want to make the most of their dining room floor space and squeeze a few extra guests in! From classic glass to contemporary wood-effect, our round tables come in a variety of styles to suit every taste. They are easy to match with a dining chair of your choice.
Yes! If floor space is at a premium, a round dining table set is less likely to make your dining room feel cramped and confined. A round dining set generally has a smaller surface area than a rectangular one, making it perfect if you’re living in a smaller space. A round dining table only needs a single leg to support itself, too, meaning more legroom for any unexpected guests that may arrive last-minute.
However, keep in mind that rectangular dining tables do have one advantage over round dining tables: they can be placed flush against walls. Depending on your existing layout and the type of furniture you already have set out in your dining room, a traditional rectangular dining table could be a better option for your space.
Whether your dining room is large or small, you'll find a dining set to fit your needs at Furniturebox. Depending on the size and shape of your space, a round table may be a better choice than a rectangular one (or vice versa).
We’ve all been unlucky enough to occupy the ‘bad seat’ on the dining table at one point or another. It’s the spot where conversation is difficult, food is harder to reach, and you’re left feeling isolated. Round dining tables solve this by ensuring everyone is facing one another.
Need to squeeze some extra guests in? A round dining table makes this much easier since it only has one central leg to worry about. If you’re a stickler for symmetry, consider that a round table and chairs set offers flexibility when hosting an uneven number of guests.
