What To Look For Before Purchasing The Round Dining Table Set

Whether you have an open dining area, a designated dining room, or a cute dining corner, your furniture set is going to be the focal point of the space. These key furniture pieces will make your space look attractive, like a movie set.

But for that, the table and chairs must suit your space. They must add to your personal aesthetics, and most importantly, they must bring cosiness, comfort, and harmony to your dining space. 

Therefore, you should take some time to find the right furniture pieces.

It is certain that, given the variety of sizes, colours, finishes, and materials, selecting the best for your space can be a little challenging. 

Yet, no need to worry! 

Follow A Step-by-step Process And Consider These Factors Before Purchasing

1. The dimensions must match your aspirations

Since you are going to purchase your dining set, you must have pre-decided why you need this set. 

Whether you love to be a host, or you want it just for your small family, or if you want to keep it in your bachelor pad.

Moreover, will you need an extendable round dining table for festive lunches and dinners with loved ones, or will you want it to act like a wooden table when the children do their homework or finish art projects?

In all these situations, knowing the size and dimensions of the set is crucial.

So, have a realistic assessment of what you require from the set and how you are going to utilise it, and then pick the right size accordingly. The set must fit your space comfortably, and it must be aesthetically pleasing as well. 

The average height of a round table is between 72 and 80 centimetres. 

For e.g., for a 6-seater extendable round dining table set, the ideal dimensions would be:

• Dining Table: W107-150 x D107 x H76 CM
• Dining Chair: W44 x D44 x H89 CM

Likewise, for a 4-seater set, it will be: 

• Dining Table: W107 x D107 x H76 CM
• Dining Chair: W44 x D44 x H89 CM

And 

• Dining Table: W120 x D120 x H76 CM
• Dining Chairs: W50 x D52 x H86 CM

And also,

• Dining table: W135 x D135 x H77 CM
• Chair: W51 x D71 x H105 CM

Of course, the dimensions depend upon the type and style of the set.

So, choose a set that aligns with the available space and your aspirations. 

2. Make sure that the table and chairs are compatible 

Well, the best part of a dining space is harmony, balance, and beauty. You create that with a compatible dining table and chairs.

As you know, dining chairs are available in various colours, designs, materials, and styles. Along with that, overall comfort and look are two significant things that determine whether your round dining table and dining chairs are compatible.  

While selecting the chairs, make sure that they effortlessly fit under your table and give you enough legroom. 

While creating a dining set, Divano makes sure that the table and chairs are compatible with each other and bring perfect balance to your space. In creating a set, we pay special attention to the height of the table and make sure that the chairs give a balanced look when arranged with it.

3. The structural frame of the set

It is important that you know what kind of material is good for your furniture set, as it makes up the structural frame. 

The frame must be robust and durable.

For tables, you can choose from solid wood, ceramic, marble, and glass.

If you are selecting wooden furniture, always go for solid woods such as acacia, rubberwood, mango wood, walnut, oak, teak, or solid messmate timber with veneer. 

So far as dining chairs are concerned, wooden chairs are a classic choice. 

Choose chairs with frames made of solid ash, rubberwood veneer, solid rubberwood, or solid pinewood.

Chairs with PU upholstery are also a popular choice as they look beautiful with a table of almost any style, and they are durable too.

Another structural material that you can opt for is MDF, or medium-density fiberboard. It is also durability and the best part is it is easy-to-maintain and clean. 

4. Sustainability 

Make sure that the round dining table set you are bringing home is made of sustainably sourced material. That means they must be environment-friendly and must have come from forests that regenerate over time.

Such wood’s natural textures and warmth have a calming effect. They also reduce stress, enhance indoor air quality, and create healthier dining spaces.

5. Style of the furniture pieces and the dining space

While browsing for perfect pieces, find the right style that suits your choice and also the rest of your furniture pieces. You can do some small experiments also, like Scandinavian spaces, may find it refreshing in creating a sophisticated coastal style. 

Some tips!

Light-coloured dining tables with bright legs and solid wood tops always look good when decorated in a Hampton space. Or, go for a stunning solid wood pedestal table paired with soothing, light upholstered dining chairs with tapered legs.

Vintage spaces will reflect a more beautiful look with wooden furniture pieces in rich wooden finishes. They create a truly inviting atmosphere. 

For the contemporary home, find a harmony with natural materials. You can give it a more modern look with minimal statement pieces. 

Round dining tables, however, blend nicely into almost any interior décor, thanks to their gentle curves and evergreen beauty. They effortlessly create a welcoming focal point in dining spaces while complementing both modern and classic styles.
