Round Dining Tables
We've all been there sitting at the corner of a rectangular table, craning your neck to join the conversation happening at the other end. Round dining tables solve this problem completely. Everyone gets the same view, the same proximity, and honestly, it makes dinner feel less like a formal affair and more like what it should be: people enjoying each other's company over food.
The other thing nobody tells you until you've lived with one? You'll stop bruising your hips on table corners. In a smaller kitchen or dining area, this alone makes round tables worth considering. You can squeeze past when someone's sitting down, and there's no awkward dance around jutting edges when you're carrying hot plates from the kitchen.
Our collection ranges from compact 90cm tables (perfect for couples or small flats) right up to larger 120cm designs that comfortably seat six. The solid mango wood options have become incredibly popular they've got this warmth that MDF just can't match, and they actually improve with age rather than looking worn out. A few careful oil treatments yearly, and they'll outlast most marriages.

Round Dining Tables
-
What size round dining table do I need for 4 people?
For comfortable seating of four adults, look for a round table with a diameter between 90cm and 110cm. This provides adequate elbow room and space for serving dishes in the centre. If you regularly host guests, consider a 120cm diameter table which can accommodate five or six people at a squeeze whilst remaining practical for everyday use with four.
-
Are round dining tables suitable for small kitchens?
Absolutely. Round tables excel in compact spaces because they eliminate wasted corner areas and allow easier movement around the room. The curved edge means fewer bruised hips when squeezing past, and chairs tuck underneath more efficiently than with rectangular tables. A small round table creates a surprisingly spacious feel in modest kitchen diners.
-
How do I measure my space for a round table?
Measure the room's width and length, then allow at least 90cm clearance around all sides of the table for comfortable chair movement. Add the table diameter to this clearance (180cm) to determine if it fits. For example, a 100cm diameter table needs a minimum room size of 280cm x 280cm, though 300cm x 300cm provides more comfortable circulation space.
-
What's the advantage of a round table over rectangular?
Round tables facilitate better conversation since everyone faces inward with equal proximity to others. They're safer for families with young children due to the absence of sharp corners, and they make efficient use of floor space. The design also feels less formal, encouraging relaxed, inclusive dining experiences where no one occupies a dominant 'head of table' position.
-
Can round dining tables extend?
Whilst less common than extending rectangular tables, some round tables do feature extension mechanisms. These typically involve a central leaf that creates an oval shape when opened, though this compromises the sociable circular dynamic. For flexibility, consider pairing a fixed round table with folding chairs that store away when not needed, maintaining the shape whilst accommodating varying numbers.
-
What chair style works best with round tables?
Almost any chair style complements round tables, though armless or low-arm designs tuck underneath more neatly. Matching sets create cohesion, whilst mixing chair styles adds personality—consider upholstered chairs for two 'host' positions with simpler designs for remaining seats. The key is ensuring consistent seat height so everyone dines comfortably at the same level.
-
How do I clean a glass-topped round dining table?
Use a microfibre cloth with glass cleaner or a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Spray onto the cloth rather than directly onto the glass to prevent drips reaching the base. Buff in circular motions to avoid streaks, then polish with a dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water works gently without scratching the surface.
-
Will a round table work in my rectangular dining room?
Yes, round tables work perfectly well in rectangular rooms. Position the table centrally to create balanced circulation space, or place it closer to one end if the room serves multiple functions. The circular shape can actually soften the angular feel of a long, narrow dining room, creating visual interest through the contrast between the room's geometry and the table's curves.
