Mid-century mode:
Zinus Jen mid-century modern wood dining table


Staff Pick

We’re in love with this mid-century-influenced table from Zinus. Available in a natural pine finish (pictured) or a darker “Espresso” tone, its rounded corners, tapered legs, and relaxed edges make it a modern style icon that gives a clever nod back to a golden era of furniture design.

From $185

Dorel Living Table

Lofty living:
Dorel Living Bronx glass top and rustic oak dining table

This table’s tempered glass top is offset by the industrial chic of the rustic oak legs and chunky bronze fixing details. The architectural charm is backed up by sturdy pedestal construction while the glass top is held in place by its own weight and rubber pads. And the glass top means no one can pocket your silverware.

If you’re short on space, then consider a folding table, and even more space-saving — a wall-mounted version. Available in white or black, this compact option measuring 23.6-by-15.6 inches can take weight up to 35 pounds, so should cover you for a couple of dinner plates and some drinks.

Finally, if you’ve got the space — and the cash — we’re highlighting this designer option from Ink + Ivy. The Mercer has a solid wood tabletop with a golden bronze metal base. With an oversized 70-inch diameter, six people could easily fit around this, but thanks to the round shape and open base, if you’re all good friends, you could probably squeeze in a few more.

It’s all on the table

Larger households or people that like to entertain often should consider getting the largest dining table they can both fit in and afford. An extendable option, like the WE Furniture rustic farmhouse dining room table, is an excellent solution as you can keep things compact until you need to use the extra leaves.

If you don’t have a lot of space, but want to make room for at least four people to eat around the table, consider a rounded design, you can squeeze more folk in if you’re not fighting the corners. The Dorel Living Bronx glass top and rustic oak dining table is an attractive option for both apartments and modern homes.

The Zinus Jen mid-century modern wood dining table is our overall staff choice, though. We love its vintage, yet still fresh looks, its practical design, and the fact that with the right seating around it, you and five of your friends or family can dine in style.
