Perfect dining table - a short guide

The dining table is the focal point of almost every home, where whole family could gather. If you don't have one or need replacement you will probably want to buy a perfect one. So what do you need to look for? A dining table needs to be well crafted, have optimal size and allow to seat all your family members and guests. Here are some tips how to chose perfect dining table.

First of all you should select a dining table that is made of sturdy stuff. If you want a table to last many years you should choose a table made from a hardwood, such as mahogany, walnut or oak. Tables made from composite woods, which include plywoods and MDF are durable and economical but are never as strong as a hardwood. Hardwood is also a litte bit more expensive but for more money you get better quality.

Moreover, classic, wooden top in tableis great but don’t discount glass. The advantage of a glass-top dining table is that it works well with many decor themes. And because it has a reflective surface, it is an excellent choice for a space that might need to look a little bigger and brighter.

If your main goal is to impress your guests, you should chose marble table. Marble is a big investment, but this type of dining tables are nearly always showstoppers. Tables crafted from quality imported marble are extremely beautiful.

Next advise - choose a shape that will work in most rooms. Round tables look good in compact rooms and living areas that have square dining zones. They also offer flexible seating. On the other hand, rectangular tables have limited seating spots due to the position of the table legs and because only one person can be seated at each end.

Last but not least - the color. If you aren’t expecting your table to suffer wear and tear, choose the most sophisticated and elegant table in black color. But do it only if you are the careful type of person, otherwise go for natural color like brown.
