Modern Dining Tables

Modern round dining table and pedestal styles

A modern round dining table on a single pedestal seats four with no corner legs to knock into. The sintered stone round and square tables sit on stainless steel tulip-style pedestals in gold, black, silver or rose gold, and the walnut, black and natural 48 inch round tables use a wood and metal pedestal and seat four. A 35.4 inch round glass table suits a breakfast nook.

Modern oval dining table and extendable tables

A modern oval dining table softens a long room and fits more chairs on the curve. Ovals here run from a 60 inch white and chrome retro table to 78.74 inch pedestal tables that seat eight, plus a reclaimed solid pine oval in a cerused finish. Two oval tables extend: a glossy black pedestal table and an off-white table that seats eight when open.

Modern wood dining table, glass and sintered stone tops

A modern wood dining table here pairs an oak or walnut veneer top with solid hardwood legs or pedestals, including a 95 inch double pedestal table in a walnut finish. Glass tables use tempered glass on black, gold or silver metal bases. Sintered stone tops give a marble look on a stainless steel pedestal, with one 60 inch round on a solid oak base. Marble-look tables add a stone pattern to the top and stand on solid hardwood legs.

Modern dining table sizes and seating

Choose a modern dining table by the room first. Tables here stand about 29 to 30 inches tall and run from 31.5 to 95 inches long. Allow 24 inches of table edge per diner and 36 inches of clearance behind each chair. A 47 to 48 inch table seats four, 60 to 72 inches seats six, and the 78.74 inch ovals seat eight. Wipe glass and stone with a soft cloth and mild soap, and use coasters on wood.
