Far more than simply somewhere to eat our dinner, our dining tables are our makeshift desks, social hubs, crafting stations and dedicated family meeting zones. Finding a dining table to suit your household's versatile needs is therefore key to creating a happy home environment. Plus, the dining table tends to be the focal point of the room, whether it's in your kitchen or a separate dining room, so it's important to choose a design you love.
There's lots to consider when choosing a dining table: round or rectangular, bench seating or cushioned, wooden or glass? We've scoured our favourite online retailers and put together a list of 20 dining tables for you to browse. We've taken style preferences, budget and size of table into consideration so you can find a dining table that'll slot into your home with ease, and become your home's hub in no time.
