The traditional rectangular dining table has new competition. A recent trend of round tables in the dining room have been welcomed into homes with open arms. I believe that the round dining table is here to stay:
- A round table fits a more casual lifestyle.
- Many homes are opting out of a formal dining room for a more open floor plan. Many times a round table can be tucked into a corner of a larger family room for function and style.
- If a formal dining room is present, it is often a small room which could accommodate a round table.
- Large formal dinner parties are being replaced with a less formal social gatherings.
- Rounded couch-style bench seating for round tables allow the dining table to double as a "formal" sitting area.
- All guests can see each other and conversations can more easily include everyone.
Round tables have worked for a very long time in the kitchen and now are moving on up to the dining room.

Could you please share the details on that table? It's gorgeous!
I purchased a round table for my kitchen. We can always squeeze in another chair when company comes. It's great!
We like the table shown on this site. Do you know who sells pieces this nice? Searching round dining room tables is…challenging.
I like the round table shown on this side. Do you know where to find it?
