Round dining tables, designed for everyday shared meals
A round dining table changes the way a meal feels. With no head of the table, everyone sits as part of the same conversation, which tends to make meals feel more relaxed, inclusive, and less formal.
Our round dining tables are crafted from solid American oak and solid American walnut, built from real timber rather than veneer over particleboard, and designed to last for years to come. The collection includes eight pieces across the Jackson, Magnus, Olivia, and Oscar families, with fixed 100 cm and 130 cm diameters and extendable designs that expand from 130 cm round to 170 cm oval.
If you would prefer a different shape, our wider dining room tables collection includes rectangular and oval options. You can also browse our solid oak dining tables and solid walnut dining tables collections to compare timber first.
Why choose a round dining table?
Round dining tables naturally encourage conversation, with every person seated within easy sight of one another. Without a head of the table, meals often feel more social and less formal than they do around rectangular alternatives.
They also work particularly well in compact dining areas. With no sharp corners extending into walkways, round tables soften movement through a room and bring a gentler geometry into open-plan living and dining spaces.
Round dining tables tend to suit square rooms, apartments, breakfast nooks, and open-plan homes especially well. In longer rectangular rooms, an oval or rectangular dining table often suits the proportions better.
Are round dining tables good for small spaces?
Yes. Round dining tables are often one of the best choices for smaller dining areas because they eliminate corners and create smoother circulation around the room. This can make a dining space feel less crowded and easier to move through.
Our 100 cm round dining tables are particularly well suited to apartments, breakfast nooks, and compact dining areas, while the 130 cm size provides additional tabletop space without dramatically increasing the room required around it.
What size round dining table do I need?
The right size depends on both your room and how you use the table. Our 100 cm round dining tables offer a more compact and intimate dining experience, while our 130 cm round dining tables provide additional room for place settings, serving dishes, and everyday family meals.
If you regularly host family and friends, an extendable round dining table offers greater flexibility. Our extension tables expand from 130 cm round to a generous 170 cm oval, providing additional seating when needed without requiring a larger table every day.
As a guide, allow at least 90–100 cm of clearance around the table so chairs can be pulled out comfortably and people can move around the room with ease.
If you would rather shop by seating capacity, browse our 4-seater dining tables, 6-seater dining tables, and 8-seater dining tables collections.
Solid American oak or solid American walnut?
Solid American oak is lighter in colour, with pale straw tones that gradually warm into honey and golden blonde over time. It features a straighter, more uniform grain and is slightly harder, measuring around 1360 on the Janka hardness scale. It is a versatile choice that suits bright, Scandinavian-inspired interiors and busy family dining spaces alike.
Solid American walnut offers richer chocolate-to-red tones and a finer, more distinctive grain pattern. It brings greater visual presence to a room and works particularly well in dining spaces where the table is intended to anchor the space. Walnut sits slightly softer at around 1010 on the Janka hardness scale, though it remains significantly harder than most softwoods used in furniture.
Both timbers can be sanded and re-oiled over time rather than replaced, allowing them to develop character and age beautifully through years of everyday use.
Fixed or extendable round dining tables?
Fixed round dining tables suit households where seating needs remain relatively consistent and the room is already sized for the table. The Magnus and Oscar families in this collection are available in fixed 100 cm and 130 cm diameters.
Extendable round dining tables are ideal for households that want everyday compactness with the flexibility to host larger gatherings when needed. The Olivia and Jackson families extend from a 130 cm round table to a 170 cm oval, creating additional seating for entertaining and family gatherings without requiring a permanently larger footprint.
The extension mechanism is concealed within the table and designed for smooth everyday use.

Pairing your round dining table
Because a round table places every seat at the centre of the dining experience, the chairs around it play an important role in both comfort and appearance. Our solid oak dining chairs, solid walnut dining chairs, and upholstered dining chairs in fabric or leather all pair beautifully with the round dining collection.
Matching timber across the table and chairs creates a calm, cohesive look. Mixing oak chairs with a walnut table, or walnut chairs with an oak table, introduces greater contrast and visual interest.
Rugs, sideboards, and dining room styling
A round or oval rug underneath the table helps reinforce the shape and anchor the dining area within the room. Our dining room rugs collection offers a starting point for choosing the right size. As a general guide, the rug should extend at least 60 cm beyond the edge of the table so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.
A solid timber sideboard or buffet completes the dining space while providing practical storage for serving ware, table linen, and everyday dining essentials.
Built to last. Made to matter.
A dining table is one of the hardest-working pieces of furniture in the home, so it needs to be built to last. Solid timber holds its shape through years of everyday use, develops character over time, and can be sanded and refinished when it eventually needs refreshing rather than being replaced.
That longevity is one of the reasons solid timber dining tables continue to outlast many veneered alternatives. Instead of ending up in landfill when the surface becomes worn, they can be renewed and enjoyed for many years to come.
If you would like to see the timber, finish, and overall build quality in person before deciding, you can visit our Sydney showroom at the Supa Centa Moore Park or our Melbourne showroom on Church Street, Richmond. Free virtual consultations and timber and upholstery samples are also available if you are not nearby.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size round dining table do I need for 4, 6, or 8 people?
Round dining tables work in fairly consistent seating bands. A 90 to 100 cm table comfortably seats four, a 110 to 130 cm table seats four to six, a 140 to 150 cm table seats six to eight, and a 160 cm and above table comfortably seats eight or more.
The rule of thumb is roughly 60 cm of table edge per person. If you regularly host more guests than your everyday seating needs, an extendable round dining table gives you both options without taking up extra room day to day.
How many people can fit comfortably at a round dining table?
Comfort depends on table size and what you are serving. A 100 cm round table comfortably seats four for everyday meals but starts to feel tight at six. A 130 cm table is the sweet spot for families: comfortable for four to six, workable for eight when needed. A 150 cm table comfortably seats six to eight, and anything above that suits larger gatherings.
People always fit more around a round table than a rectangular one of the same total surface area, because the corners that go unused on a rectangle become usable seating on a round.
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 usually. Round dining tables tend to suit family-style serving, where bowls and platters sit in the centre within easy reach of everyone, rather than passed down a long table. Larger round tables (above 130 cm) can put the centre slightly out of reach for shorter arms, in which case a Lazy Susan or two smaller serving dishes solves it neatly. For most everyday meals and small dinner parties, the round shape actually makes serving easier rather than harder.
Should I get a fixed or extendable round dining table?
Choose a fixed round table if your seating numbers are consistent (a 100 cm for two to four sleepers in an apartment, a 130 cm for a family of four to six) and the room is sized for the table.
Choose an extendable round table if you want compactness day to day but need flexibility when hosting. The Olivia and Jackson families in this collection extend from 130 cm round to a 170 cm oval, adding two to four seats without permanently taking up the larger footprint. The extension mechanism is concealed and designed for smooth everyday use.
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.
