Dining table shapes

Shop all

When it comes to choosing a dining table for your home, go for a shape that suits the space you have available. As a rule, tables that are square or round suit smaller spaces, whereas rectangular and oval ones work better in long, narrow rooms or open plan areas.

Square

A good option for a kitchen or small dining space.

Rectangular

Rectangular tables work best in large and narrow rooms.

Round

Great for tight and compact spaces, such as conservatories.

Oval

The perfect table for a long or unusually shaped room.

Table materials

Dining room tables can be constructed from many different materials, ranging from solid wood and natural wood veneers, through to high gloss, metal and glass.

Solid wood

Solid wood is highly durable and will last for years.

Wood veneer

The appearance of solid wood but at a lower cost.
