choosing your dining table for 4
When you have a family of four, choosing a 4 seater dining table is a great way to establish intimacy and keep the whole family close. Not only will this help to promote ongoing dinner conversations, but it is also a space-saving choice when you have a smaller dining area. As you browse the collection, stop to consider:
- Shape: When it comes to selecting a 4 seater dining table, you have two basic options. Round tables provide a soft look and make it easy to squeeze another seat in when you have an extra guest. When you're looking for sharper style lines, square dining tables are also an option. Consider the layout of your area and determine which shape will make the best fit for your home.
- Material: Wood, metal, marble and glass are just a few of the top-quality and durable materials you'll see sprinkled throughout this collection. Consider the material of the table and how that material will fit in with the pieces you already own.
- Finish: Your dining table is going to become the focal point of the room. Check out the available finish options and select the one that best coordinates with the overall design theme and furnishings you already have in place. As you continue to decorate your dining area, try to repeat the finishes from the table wherever you can.
- Expandable Designs: When you want to have a small, intimate table for family dinners but still enjoy hosting friends and family, consider one of the expandable dining tables available at west elm. These tables feature additional sections or drop-leaf elements that make it easy to seat additional guests when the need arises.

Once you've selected the dining table for 4 that will be the foundation for your evening gatherings, it's time to add seating. Check out our selection of dining chairs to discover a style that will pair nicely with the table you've selected while coordinating with your existing furnishings. Armchairs provide lasting comfort but armless chairs can be easier to navigate around, especially in smaller spaces.
