Which dining table should you choose?

The dining room is a primary space in the home where people gather to talk, dine, and spend time together. To create a space that promotes this concept, we need to focus our attention on the main feature of the dining room: the dining table.At Station7, you can buy different types of wooden dining tables, from small models to large oval dining tables. You also have the option of putting together your own dining room table set. You can fully personalize everything from the shape and size of the tabletop to the base.

Put together your own wooden dining table

A cozy dining area naturally calls for a stylish wooden dining table. At Station7, you can choose from a particularly beautiful collection of wooden dining tables. But you also have the option of putting together your own table. Are you looking for an industrial wooden dining table? Then you need a model with a metal base, a wooden tabletop, and a robust finish.How do you put together a dining room table? For the tabletop, choose from an old oak, new oak, or tree trunk oak dining room table. Once you know what kind of tabletop you want, decide on the size and choose the base. Choose from X-legs, U-legs, or playful A-legs. Complement your wooden table with beautiful leather dining chairs, such as our dining chairs with armrests and casters, or opt for a dining area with a bench.

Dining table shape

At Station7, you can choose from round, square, rectangular, or oval dining tables. We explain the different types of dining table shapes below.

Round dining table

Would you like a dining table for a small space? Then go for a round dining table. You can easily move around it and add a few extra industrial leather dining chairs. A round shape is comfortable for everyone because the leg is often in the middle. This means that everyone can easily reach the entire tabletop. Conversations can be kept central at a round wooden table, which also makes it a cozy dining table. The round dining table has no corners that children can hurt themselves on.

Oval dining table

There are several advantages to having an oval dining table. As with a round dining table, you can easily move around this table and there are no corners where children can bump themselves. Everyone can comfortably sit down because extra dining chairs can easily be added. The oval shape also makes the table more suitable for a narrow space than a round one. The disadvantage is that, like a round table, this dining room table is not easy to extend and cannot be pushed up against the wall.

Square dining table

You don't need a long wall for a square dining table. This makes this type of dining table very suitable for small spaces. You can also easily push this table against the wall to create extra space. The equal width and length give the room a symmetrical look. Need more space at the oak dining table? Then a square table can easily be extended by pushing two dining tables together. The disadvantage of this square shape is that it is less easy to pull up dining chairs. Children can also easily bump themselves on the sharp corners of the square tabletop.

Rectangular dining table

Of all the shapes, the rectangular has been the most popular for years. If you love to decorate, then this table is definitely a good option for you. You can store a lot of things on a rectangular dining table. This shape is most suitable for six or more people and is best placed in a spacious dining room. Those who prefer to sit high can opt for a bar table with an industrial look instead of a low model.
