Editor's Notes
September 24, 2020:
Choosing the round dining room set that's right for your home depends a lot on your needs, space, and style. If you're living in a small apartment or don't have a separate dining room, bistro sets like the Kealive 3-piece offer a compact and affordable option for seating that won't crowd your kitchen. Though more expensive, the Homelegance Atwood fills a similar need while offering storage akin to what you'd find on a kitchen island or cart.
Such selections do tend to come in counter-height configurations, though, and may be more difficult to use for children or individuals with knee problems. An alternative is a basic pedestal table with drop leaves like the East West Furniture Dublin. Though not as narrow as the bistro sets, its collapsed width of 24-inches is still navigable in tight spaces, and the ability to extend provides extra seating possibilities when you need it.
Fans of modern decor will find no shortage of choices in this category. It all comes down to what kind of contemporary aesthetic you're trying to cultivate. For instance, the Furniture of America Cooper table boasts a bold design that's tempered by traditional-looking chairs and a deep walnut finish, with a substantial build that will help flesh out open spaces. The SICOTAS Modern, on the other hand, offers the same seating capacity and blends white chairs, a slim metal base, and a glass tabletop for a lighter alternative that won't make small spaces feel as cramped as bulkier configurations might.
In both cases, though, the glass tabletops are more likely than their wooden counterparts to highlight smudges and fingerprints, requiring frequent, if easy, cleaning. Modern wooden choices like the Roundhill Furniture Biony or Baxton Studio Kimberly bypass that headache, but the cloth upholstery on their chairs can present a different kind of maintenance challenge. Wooden tabletops also tend to be more vulnerable to heat and water damage, so it may be wise to invest in a quality round tablecloth and trivets.
If you're curating a more conventional look, the New Classic Gia is a high-quality traditional selection with a pricetag far lower than its appearance would suggest. Big families, though, will appreciate the seating capacity on the large version of the oval-shaped East West Vancouver.
In all of these selections, stability and durability largely depend on how well you assemble the pieces. Some, like the Angel Line Lindsey, come with their own tools, while others do not. If you're not especially handy or don't have your own toolbox at home, it may be worth it to hire an expert to put your set together.
