WHICH SHAPE OF DINING TABLE IS BEST: ROUND OR RECTANGULAR?
The best way to judge what table shape you need is to look at the size of your space. Are you filling a large formal dining room or tucking a
table into your kitchen?

Brannon Dining Table
FOR SMALL SPACES
Round or square tables are great for cozying up in small spaces like a breakfast nook. Round
tables are smaller and can fit snugly into a corner, but you’ll lose some surface area for serving dishes by sacrificing corners. Both round and square tables make good kitchen
tables for couples and small families.

Desmond Dining Table
FOR LARGE SPACES
In a formal dining room or airy open floor plan, a large, rectangular dining table can seat your whole family and all your dinner party guests. It’s easier to squeeze in an extra chair when the need arises, and these tables provide lots of
space for serveware and décor.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

Host chairs are a snazzy addition to the head of a rectangular table. Pair them with armless chairs along the side of the table to maximize your space–and always use only armless chairs with round or square tables.

If you need more surface space for extra courses, select a larger table or opt for a coordinating
buffet depending on what fits best in your room.

Need extra seats for special occasions? An extension table comes with a leaf or two, adding 2-4 extra seats. When you measure to see if your dining table will fit, consider its full extended length.

WHAT OTHER DESIGN OPTIONS DO I HAVE?
From rustic family dinners to formal dinner parties, see how your choice of dining table elements can set the mood.
CHOOSE YOUR TOP STYLE

Smooth Finish In a formal dining space, choose a smooth top for a subtle, elegant look that’s
smooth to the touch.

Rough Sawn Give your dining room modern
farmhouse appeal with a rough-sawn top where you can
feel every grain.
CHOOSE YOUR FINISH

Veneer Elegant veneers instantly elevate
your table, with sophisticated patterns ranging from timeless and formal to modern and luxe.

Light Neutrals Light neutrals such as light brown, gray, or white create an airy, open look that’s an inviting canvas for your favorite statement décor or
casual family dining.

Dark Neutrals Dark brown and black are classic dining table color
choices for a reason. They’re formal, refined, and create a grounded look that draws eyes toward
where people gather: at the table.

Can’t decide on color? Choose a dining table with a two-toned finish.
The base and top will coordinate instead of match.

HOW DO YOU KNOW A DINING TABLE IS HIGH QUAILITY?
Here are some sure signs your dining room furniture is built to last:
CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES We favor time-honored techniques, including floating construction that gives wood the freedom to expand and contract with temperature, and durable joinery that stands the test of time.

EXCEPTIONAL MATERIALS
From solid oak or maple planks to ribbon-striped sapele veneers, every piece of wood we use is hand-selected and measured against our quality and sustainability standards.

FINISH AND VENEERS
We apply low-HAP and lowVOC finishes by hand and
inspect them at every layer. We also apply every piece of veneer by hand, creating an unmatched
blend of beauty and durability.

LEVELERS When appropriate for the design, we include levelers to keep your table stable on uneven flooring.

EXTENSION HARDWARE Either equalizer slides (for pedestal and trestle tables) or metal slides with a built-in crown (for four-legged tables), both of which support your entire tabletop at its full length.
