Espresso Dining Tables

Espresso dining room table styles

Espresso is a deep, almost black brown that grounds a dining room and hides everyday wear. These tables pair it with wood grain: oak veneer tops, a maple veneer oval on a birdcage-style pedestal, and a farmhouse top on a black Parsons-style base. A black round pedestal table with an espresso-toned wood-grain top gives a darker, modern take. Espresso pairs well with cream, white or light gray upholstered chairs, or with black chairs for a moodier look.

Espresso round dining table and oval extensions

Round tables make conversation easy in a small room. The 42 inch round extendable tables open to a 58 inch oval with a center leaf, one on mid-century solid wood legs and one on a crossed pedestal with leveling glides. The 47.25 inch black round pedestal table seats four, and a 42.25 inch oval extension table hides a drawer and an open shelf in its pedestal base.

Espresso dining table for 6 and larger

For six or more, the 77.05 inch farmhouse table has a removable leaf and a narrow 35.04 inch depth that suits a long, slim room. The birdcage pedestal oval extends to 76 inches with a drop-in leaf. Leave about 36 inches between the table edge and the wall so chairs slide out easily.

Espresso wood dining table care

The tops are wood veneer or wood-grain finishes over an engineered core, on solid wood or solid hardwood legs and pedestals. Wipe the top with a soft, damp cloth and dry it, set placemats and trivets under hot dishes, and keep the table out of strong direct sun so the dark finish stays even. All of these tables stand 30 to 30.94 inches tall, a standard dining height.
