how to choose the ideal dining table for 6

With so many different design options available within this collection, selecting your favorite can be challenging. Fortunately, taking a few key features into consideration can help narrow down the options and help you focus in on the 6 seater dining table that makes the ideal choice for your home.

• Shape: Rectangle, oval and round tables can be seen throughout this collection. As you start to browse the options, consider which shape would make the best fit for the flow and size of your space.
• Size: Once you've determined which shape makes the best fit, consider the overall dimensions of the table compared to the space available in your dining area. If you are selecting an extension dining table, make sure you account for the maximum dimensions of the piece.
• Material: Wood, marble, metal and glass are a few of the materials you'll see repeated throughout these designs. Consider which material or combination of materials will best enhance the design style of your dining area.
• Finish: Take account of the existing finishes in your space and choose a table in a color scheme that will elevate the pieces you already have. If you are outfitting your dining space from scratch, shop coordinating pieces, such as buffets and sideboards.
• Design Style: The dining table will likely be the largest piece of furniture in the space and as such, it sets the tone for the design style of the room. Keep it traditional with a round dining table or show off your love of mid-century modern design with a table featuring angular style lines and tapered legs.

Once you've selected the dining table for 6 destined to become a part of your nightly routine, shop our collection of dining chairs to complete the look. Feature large armchairs at the heads of the table and select armless chairs or benches along the sides of the table. All your chairs can match or you can mix-and-match a few options to create a more eclectic look.
