Finding the Right Tables for You
The right vintage, new or antique tables can help make any space in your home stand out.
Over the years, the variety of tables available to us, as well as our specific needs for said tables, has broadened. Today, with all manner of these must-have furnishings differing in shape, material and style, any dining room table can shine just as brightly as the guests who gather around it.
Remember, when shopping for a dining table, it must fit your dining area, and you need to account for space around the table too — think outside the box, as an oval dining table may work for tighter spaces. Alternatively, if you’ve got the room, a Regency-style dining table can elevate any formal occasion at mealtime.
Innovative furniture makers and designers have also redefined what a table can be. Whether it’s an unconventional Ping-Pong table, a brass side table to display your treasured collectibles or a Louis Vuitton steamer trunk to add an air of nostalgia to your loft, your table can say a lot about you.
The visionary work of French designer Xavier Lavergne, for example, includes tables that draw on the forms of celestial bodies as often as they do aquatic creatures or fossils. Elsewhere, Italian architect Gae Aulenti, who looked to Roman architecture in crafting her stately Jumbo coffee table, created clever glass-topped mobile coffee tables that move on bicycle tires or sculpted wood wheels for Fontana Arte.
Coffee and cocktail tables can serve as a room’s centerpiece with attention-grabbing details and colors. Glass varieties will keep your hardwood flooring and dazzling area rugs on display, while a marble or stone coffee table in a modern interior can showcase your prized art books and decorative objects. A unique vintage desk or writing table can bring sophistication and even a bit of spice to your work life.
No matter your desired form or function, a quality table for your living space is a sound investment. On 1stDibs, browse a collection of vintage, new and antique bedside tables, mid-century end tables and more .
- What is a gateleg table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 29, 2020
First introduced in 16th century-England, a gateleg table is a popular kind of table that allowed for intimate dining. The tabletop of the gateleg table, which was initially round or oval versus the long tables and formal seating arrangements that preceded it, had a section that was fixed in place, while one or two sections of the surface were equipped with hinges. By design, a gateleg table could be extended so that more space could be allocated for work or for dining if needed. These hinged sections could be folded back into place on top of the fixed section or could easily be dropped down to hang vertically on their hinges when they weren’t in use. This function, which allowed the table’s drop leaves that weren’t in use to be pushed up against a wall, saved space in small homes because the table could be tucked away. Pivoted legs under the table — which formed a gate as they were joined at their tops and bottoms by crosspieces — supported the hinged sections.
- What does a gateleg table mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 16, 2020
“Gate” in “gateleg table” refers to the pivoted leg supports under the table that are connected at their ends by crosspieces. When raised, the table’s two drop leaves, which are usually D-shaped, are supported upon these gates. When gateleg tables originated in England in the 16th century, they were oval or round and were generally named after their shape (and weren’t yet called gateleg tables) in order to distinguish them from the long tables they’d replaced, as dining had by then been relegated to meals for the family, not an entire household and assembled guests.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023The difference between a gateleg table and a drop leaf table is the design of the section that you can raise to expand the piece. On a drop leaf table, the extension does not have any lower support. A gateleg table has a leg that swings out to rest beneath the extension. Find a selection of tables from some of the world's best sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is Round Table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A round table is a table that excludes a head and has no sides. With the absence of a head position, round tables create a space of equality. Round tables were popularized by King Aurthur and his knights in 1155. The king wanted to ensure that none of his knights, when seated at table, could claim precedence over the others.
- How do I expand a round table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How you expand a round table depends on its design. With many tables, you pull one side of the table to slide it open and then add the extra leaf. You'll find a selection of antique and vintage expandable tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022You can call a half round table a demilune. The name comes from the French word for "half moon" and refers to the semicircular shape of the furniture. Some people also call them crescent tables. Find a range of vintage and antique tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Yes, a round dining table is practical. Typically, shapes of dining tables that don't have corners save the most space. Working with a tighter space may mean that a round or oval dining room table, a design that references the festive meals of the medieval era, may be a better fit. Round dining room tables, particularly those that originated in the Art Deco period, still endure as a popular contemporary substitute for traditional rectangular dining tables. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of dining tables from some of the world's top sellers.
- What size is a round card table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Card tables were either round or square-shaped and would measure around 34” in diameter. Some varieties have folding legs for easy storage. You can shop a collection of round card tables from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A half-round table is called a demilune table or a half-moon table. Demilune tables are popular for spaces that aren’t spacious enough to accommodate a full-size table and are placed flush against the wall. You’ll find a variety of antique half-moon tables and other furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A round table that seats 10 people will probably have a 72-inch diameter.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Round dining tables are great for increasing space and improving flow. Because there are no corners on a round table, it is easier to avoid bumping or crowding when trying to sit.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Yes, round coffee tables will take up less space than square tables of equal width. The reduced footprint is due to the fact that the round table lacks corners. As a result, round coffee tables often work well in small seating areas. Shop a range of round coffee tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024The size of a round table that can fit eight chairs is around 60 inches. That measurement corresponds to the diameter, meaning the distance across the top of the table through its center. To ensure comfort, choose a dining table that is 10 to 12 inches taller than the seat height of your dining chairs. Shop a wide range of round dining tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Whether a round dining table is better in a small space is largely a matter of personal preference. Working with a tighter space may mean that a round or oval dining room table, a design that references the festive meals of the medieval era, may be a better fit. Round dining room tables, particularly those that originated in the Art Deco period, still endure as a popular contemporary substitute for traditional rectangular dining tables. Both round and oval tables take up less space than rectangular and square tables of similar size because they lack corners. Find a variety of round tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Typically, four to five people can sit around a 48-inch round dining table. A 60-inch round table can usually accommodate six people, while a 72-inch round table has enough room for approximately eight people. On 1stDibs, find a variety of round dining tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024How many chairs fit around a 60-inch round table depends largely on the size of the chairs. Most tables that are 60 inches in diameter can accommodate around 10 chairs comfortably. Ensure that there is enough space between the chairs so that users can pull them in and out easily and have enough elbow room to dine unencumbered. Shop a wide range of round tables on 1stDibs.
