Contemporary look

While most modern furniture may be roughly subdivived into ‘classic’ or ‘contemporary’, most small dining tables have distinct minimalistic look. Moreover, interior designers strongly recommend to choose simple
Scandinavian, high-tech and high-gloss units for small premises.

Comes as part of a complete dining set

All in all, its always best to go for quality dining tables featured in dining sets along with matching chairs. The set will look logical and consistent, but, unfortunately, such solutions for very small spaces are quite hard to find, although some stores do offer small dining sets  for 4 seaters. You will most likely have to shop for dining chairs separately and create your own set.

Small size

Small dining tables may differ in size considerably, so measure your dining room to determine the exact size you will need. The height of a typical small dining table is approximately 72-76 cm. The lenght and width may range from 40 to 110 cm. Most quality small dining tables will accommodate 4 seaters, maximum. Also, decide in advance on proper placement of your dining table – this may actually dictate its shape. If you plan to install your table next to the wall, going for rectangular units will be more pracical, while round tables allow you to accomodate more seaters.

Extending options

A lot of quality small dining tables offered by modern stores feature impressive extension options. The extension mechanisms also vary – some tables are extended due to inserts, others may be ‘folded’ or feature extending ‘leafs’. But if you have a really small family and rarely invite friends over, going with regular non-extending quality small dining tables may be a more practical and more budget-friendly decision.

Design

As mentioned above, quality small dining tables may be round, square or rectangular, but they also differ accoring to the type of table base. Dining tables may have a single leg, four legs, or be perched on a massive base — the number of options is almost limitless. In some cases, depending on individual characteristics of your dining room, it will be best to opt for custom-made wall-mount tables.

Material

Traditionally,  quality small dining tables are made of wood, steel or tempered glass, although it is always possible to find some compact units with marble table surface. Remeber, that what matters is not only the quality of the material, but also how solidly built is the unit in question. Pay attentoin to assembly quality and, if you shop online, try to visit a showroom before you actually pay for your dining table.
