How to Choose the Right Dining Table Shape: Round vs Rectangular vs Oval

How to Choose the Right Dining Table Shape

The shape of your dining table affects both style and function. Here's how to choose between round, rectangular, and oval tables.

Rectangular Tables

The most versatile and common shape. Works in long, narrow rooms. The Eliseo 84 Dining Table seats 6-8 in a classic rectangular profile perfect for most dining rooms.

Round Tables

Round tables encourage conversation and work best in square rooms. They fit tight spaces and create an intimate dining experience. Pair with Boerum Dining Chairs for a complete look.

Oval Tables

Oval tables combine the conversation-friendly layout of round with the seating capacity of rectangular. They're easier to navigate around than rectangular tables.

Measuring for Shape

Rectangular tables need a room 12-14 feet wide. Round tables need 10x10 feet minimum. Always allow 36-48 inches around the table for chairs and walking space.
