The Continuum Table by Joseph Walsh

Choosing the right dining table can be a daunting task, but we’ve got some tips to make the experience less challenging. There are a few key points you should consider when shopping for the perfect table for your dining room, check them out below.

1. Size Matters

Be careful when choosing your table and chairs and ensure that the scale and proportion are right for the room. For example, be sure to leave enough room when chairs are pulled out to walk around and serve guests.

2. Shape

The shape of your table can often be dictated by the room or it can simply be a personal preference. Many people prefer a round table because they believe it makes conversations flow a bit easier. Others prefer the dramatic statement a long rectangular table makes.

3. Style

If the room is small or tight, you may want to consider choosing something with a glass top. Think about the type of base you want for the table and all of its angles, can you see the side of the table from a distance, or will the chairs block the entire base?
