Frequently Asked Questions
What size round dining table do I need for 4, 6, or 8 people?
Our 100 cm and 130 cm round dining tables are both designed to seat 4 people comfortably. The 100 cm table creates a cosier dining experience, while the 130 cm table offers more space for place settings, serving dishes, and everyday dining. If you regularly entertain or need additional seating from time to time, our round extension tables are the most practical option, allowing you to accommodate more guests without compromising comfort day to day.
How many people can fit comfortably at a round dining table?
Comfort depends on the table size, base design, and how you use the table. Our 100 cm and 130 cm round dining tables are both designed to seat 4 people comfortably. The 100 cm size offers a cosier dining experience, while the 130 cm size provides more space for place settings, serving dishes, and everyday dining.
If you regularly host family and friends, a round extension table is often the best solution. It provides comfortable everyday seating without taking up extra space, while giving you the flexibility to accommodate additional guests when needed.
Round tables are also great for conversation, as everyone is seated at an equal distance from the centre and can easily see and interact with one another.
Is a round dining table better than a rectangular one?
It depends on the room and the rhythm of meals. Round tables suit smaller dining areas, square rooms, and households that like meals to feel conversational rather than formal, because there is no head of the table and everyone sits an equal distance apart.
Rectangular tables suit longer dining rooms, larger gatherings, and households that prefer the traditional structure of meals with a head and a foot. For four to six people in a compact or open-plan space, round tends to win; for eight or more in a long room, rectangular often makes more sense.
Is a round dining table awkward for serving food?
Not at all. Round dining tables are particularly well suited to shared meals, with serving dishes placed in the centre where everyone can access them easily. They also make conversation more natural, as everyone is seated within sight of one another.
For everyday meals, family dinners, and casual entertaining, many people find round tables easier to use than long rectangular tables because there is no need to pass dishes from one end to the other. If you regularly host larger gatherings, an extension table offers the flexibility to create additional serving and dining space when needed.
Should I get a fixed or extendable round dining table?
A fixed round dining table is a great choice if your seating needs are consistent and you have enough space for the table size you want. It offers a simple, streamlined design and is ideal for everyday dining.
An extendable round dining table is the better option if you regularly entertain or need extra seating from time to time. It provides the compact footprint and intimacy of a round table for everyday use, while giving you the flexibility to accommodate additional guests when needed.
Our extendable round dining tables expand from a 130 cm round table to a spacious 170 cm oval, creating extra seating without requiring a larger table every day. When not extended, the extension mechanism remains neatly concealed within the table.
What is the difference between oak and walnut for a dining table?
It comes down to feeling, tone, and a small difference in hardness. Solid American oak is lighter, calmer, and slightly harder, sitting at around 1360 on the Janka hardness scale, with a pale straw colour that warms into honey or golden blonde. It suits bright, Scandinavian-influenced dining rooms.
Solid American walnut is deeper, ranging from chocolate brown through to a rich red, with finer grain and the occasional wave or burl. Walnut sits a little softer at around 1010 on the Janka scale and tends to anchor a room more visually. Both are dense hardwoods built for everyday use, both develop character with age, and both can be sanded and re-oiled rather than replaced.
How do I care for a solid timber round dining table?
Care is straightforward. Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, wipe spills quickly so moisture does not absorb into the timber, and use placemats, coasters, and trivets under hot or wet items.
A timber-specific polish three to four times a year keeps the finish looking its best. Keep the table out of consistent direct sunlight where possible to limit fading.
Deeper marks, including water rings, can usually be eased with a light sand and re-oil, which is the real advantage of solid timber over veneer: a well-cared-for dining table can be refreshed many times over its life rather than replaced.
