Round tables

Are you looking for a round table to create a friendly, flowing dining area? The round table meets this intention by offering shared seating, improved circulation and great flexibility of layout. Choosing a round table also means selecting a material - solid wood, marble, metal or glass - and a finish suited to daily use and planned maintenance.

The round table favors exchanges and integrates easily into rooms with modest circulation, from the studio to the large dining room. Models with a central leg free up the seat and are suitable for wide chairs, while four-legged tables offer classic stability. The diameter of the table determines the number of guests: a 90 to 110 cm tabletop can seat four, while a 120 cm tabletop can seat six. Consider the standard height for chairs, around 75 cm, to guarantee comfort and compatibility.

Materials, styles and finishes

Proposals range from oiled oak to polished marble, lacquered metal and glass tops. Solid wood brings warmth and patina, marble lends a sculptural presence, and metal structures a contemporary or industrial interior. Available styles range from sleek Scandinavian to fifties retro, to contemporary creations with graphic lines. Get used to the constraints of maintenance: oiled wood requires regular refreshing, marble calls for acid-free products, and metal can be wiped clean with a soft cloth to preserve the finish.

How to choose: dimensions, uses and features

First determine the main use: daily meals, breakfast or a multi-purpose space mixing work and relaxation. Measure the room and allow a passageway of at least seventy-five centimetres around the tabletop to open chairs and circulate without discomfort. The recommended diameter depends on the number of guests expected and the space available. If you're a regular host, consider an extendable round table with an extension leaf; it combines conviviality and modularity. Finally, check that the seat height of the chairs and the thickness of the tabletop are compatible, for a harmonious whole.

When choosing a round table, give importance to concrete criteria: adaptable dimensions, stability of the central leg, strength of finishes and ease of maintenance. These elements guarantee a long-lasting piece of furniture, consistent with the interior style, whether Scandinavian, contemporary or classic.
