1. Examine the content Selecting the
appropriate material can be difficult,
particularly when you have to carefully consider
cost, maintenance, and style. These are some
typical alternatives that you can think about
when you're thinking about your stuff.

• Wood
• You may undoubtedly assume that you and your
  dining table are here to stay. Consider a solid
  wood table (or at least legs, if you're
  considering a different top finish) in Shisham,
  teak, rosewood, satinwood, pine, or any other
  native Indian or imported wood if you want
  something that will last a lifetime. Compared to
  artificial wood (such as plywood and MDF), solid
  wood is ultimately much stronger and more
  resilient.
• Positives Sturdy and simple to fix
• Cons Can exhibit wear and tear and expand and
  shrink in response to heat or humidity
• costlier than other materials

5

• Glass
• There are numerous glass variations to choose
  from, including tinted and clear as well as
  frosted and stained options. Glass is a fantastic
  alternative if your room is already
  light-deprived to prevent adding to its lack of
  light. This will provide unhindered light
  penetration and brighten your entire space.
• Positives Affordable material for a tabletop can
  endure for decades if maintained properly.
• Cons Easily shows fingerprints and stains, and
  heat might cause it to chip or shatter.

6

• Stone
• Add more refinement to your area with tabletops
  crafted from stone materials like marble,
  composite, quartz, or cement. Usually, stone
  tabletop dining table requires frequent resealing
  and cleaning as they cannot keep up for more when
  stained accidentally.
• Positives Robust and enduring.
• Cons Highly porous and prone to absorbing stains
  can break or chip, and restoration is
  challenging. Marble and other more costly stones
  can be quite costly.

7

• Laminate
• Laminates are typically applied as a decorative
  veneer over a core material, like plywood or MDF.
  These tables are usually the least priced, but
  their durability and longevity are also the
  lowest.
• Positives Low maintenance requirements tend to
  be stain-resistant.
• Cons Frequently thought to be of poor quality.

8

• Metal
• Due to its strong, durable, and long-lasting
  functionality, dining tables with metal bases are
  widely accepted. Further, it comes in various
  materials like brass, zinc, stainless steel, et
  cetera, and finishes like painted, plain,
  lacquered, et cetera.
• Positives Hard to harm, Cheaper than wood.
• Cons High sheen may make fingerprints and
  smudges visible. Needs specific cleaning
  equipment. Repairing painted metal that is
  damaged can be difficult.

2. Determine the room's dimensions Keep in mind
the fundamental principle your dining table
needs to fit your eating area. It's crucial to
account for not just the size of your table but
also a minimum three-foot buffer around it (the
more space, the better). It makes sense to take
into account the furniture's esthetic impact in a
certain area when looking to buy dining tables.
Even while a table seems like it will fit in your
room, once you bring it home, it can end up
taking up too much room. Tape off the floor to
the exact size of your dining table to visualize
its visible weight. Next, construct a life-size
pseudo-replica using the already-existing stools
and tables to provide the impression of height.

3. Assess your needs What will be the function
of your dining table? Will it dish up calm meals
during family mealtimes or act as a means of
entertaining guests and organising banquets?
Furthermore, how many people will it usually
host? You can then choose the shape of your
dining table after you've responded to these
queries. Keep in mind that a quadrilateral
dining table can accommodate just one person at a
time on its two short sides. On the other hand,
an elliptical or circular table can easily fit
more seats around its smooth perimeter, which is
a blessing if you have more guests than you
anticipated for supper.

4. Select your spending plan Several aspects
affect when you consider buying dining tables.
These aspects include style, material selection,
size of the dining table, craftsmanship level,
and other variables. Do choose wisely after which
aspects youre looking for, to determine your
spending plan. In this manner, if a table piques
your interest and fulfils the majority of your
requirements, you can make an informed decision
if the majority of your requirements are
satisfied. If you're looking for a deal, you may
also search used furniture stores for a used
item. Nothing is more resilient than a used
hardwood table that has withstood numerous dings,
spills, and stains and accepted them as natural
elements of its timeless design. Such a table is
perfect if you have small children who like
setting the table as much as they do, and it may
provide a charming, rustic feel to your space
without breaking the bank. But keep in mind that
authentically used solid wood tables are
difficult to find, so be ready to walk to several
stores before finding one you like.

5. Complement your style your spending
plan Prior considering to buy dining tables
online, it is essential to evaluate the aesthetic
and style of the furniture you have currently!
However, it is crucial to choose a dining table
that perfectly blends and complements your style.
With a range of design options available such as
shabby chic, classic, modern, and eclectic, one
can ensure to make their dining table the center
of attention.

6. Consider maintenance ease Want a dining
table that requires less upkeep? In addition to
giving materials like wood and glass top
priority, consider how your piece is put
together. Examine the joints of your table by
looking under it. While an excessive number of
hooks and joints may indicate a shoddy
construction, wood attached to wood is typically
an indication of a solid build quality. You are
in for a lesson in expensive maintenance if your
table is wobbly or shows gaps in its joints.

7. Use color caution Using a colorful dining
table to express your eclectic side is fantastic,
but be careful not to overdo it with a color that
could go out of style. A palette can go from
being in style to out of style in a matter of
years due to the rapidly changing decor trends.
Primary colorsred, blue, and yelloware a safe,
straightforward choice if you're a color
enthusiast that will probably last and change
with your design over time. Laminates and veneers
are typically the only materials with colored
finishes unless you want to paint a hardwood
table that already exists.

8. Determine which sections are
necessary Dining chairs are typically included
with dining tables, but you might want to think
twice about needing the complete set. Convert an
underutilised wall into a one-sided booth and
place chairs on either side of the table if you
don't need longer seating. In this manner, you'll
save a few dollars and make the most of the room
while considering to buy dining tables
online! 9. Consider if you actually need a
dining table How often do you actually sit down
to eat at your table? A dining table could be a
dead investment if you're single, like to eat in
front of the TV, or anything in between.
