Small Dining Tables

A small dining table runs under 120cm in the longest dimension: the format that fits flats, kitchen-diner setups, breakfast nooks and small dining rooms where the bigger tables would dominate. Andrew Martin, Aosom UK and Cheap Furniture Warehouse between them cover £24-£1,795 across the range. Round 80-100cm tables work best in tight rooms because chairs tuck under from all sides and there are no corners to bump. Square 80x80cm tables seat 4 efficiently. Drop-leaf and gateleg tables fold one or both sides flat against the wall when not in use; small space-savers that work as a console table day-to-day and unfold for meals. Most small dining tables suit 2-4 seating; pushing a small 100cm round to 6 places everyone too close to the centre. Bistro-style 60-70cm round tables seat 2 properly and 4 uncomfortably; size up if the household entertains regularly.
