Small Dining Tables
That item has been discontinued, but here are similar options.
The small dining table is often the breakfast spot, the desk and the dinner table in the same day, in a room with little floor to spare. The tables here come from our Dining Tables and run about 48" across or less, seating two to four, with bistro-size and counter height pieces included.
Choosing a Small Kitchen Table
Measure the room before the table. Take the open floor, subtract about 36" on every side where a chair needs to pull back, and what is left is the largest top the room can carry.
In a galley or an eat-in corner that can be 30", and that is fine: a 30" marble round seats two for coffee and for dinner. If the gap is too narrow for any table you would sit at, the complete collection of modern tables includes slimmer console and side pieces that still give the room a surface.
Round or Square Small Tables in a Tight Space
Round tops ease traffic, since there is no corner to clip on the way past. The 47" rounds in black and in natural wood suit open kitchens where people walk around the table, and our Round Dining Tables go larger when the room allows. A 36" matte black metal square pushes flush against a wall or into a corner and still gives two people full elbow room.
Counter Height and Adjustable Height Tables
A 48" brown marble round at counter height lines up with a kitchen island and takes stools. A 30" reclaimed teak square adjusts its height, so it can move between a seated dinner and a standing work session.
Small Dining Tables in Marble, Metal and Wood
Stone pays off at small sizes. A marble top gives a two-seater the presence of a much larger table, and a 36" round of aged brass and iron under a marble top catches lamplight in a dark kitchen.
Black metal recedes against dark walls and keeps a small room from feeling furnished to the edges. Wood, whether natural tones, mahogany or teak, warms a corner that gets little daylight.
One mistake to avoid: matching a small table to oversized chairs. Deep, wide chairs swallow a compact top. Choose chairs without arms, or with low arms that slide under the edge.
A Table for Two by a Window
When the table will only ever seat two, go smaller still. Bistro Tables keep round tops between 30" and 38" in marble, terrazzo and faux wood, sized for a window bay or the end of a kitchen.
Where a Small Table Belongs
A small table suits more rooms than the kitchen: a reading corner, the end of a long living room, a bedroom with a view. In each of those places it does two jobs, somewhere to eat and somewhere to work, so pick a top that can take a laptop as easily as a plate.
What size is a small dining table?
Here, small means a top about 48" across or less, seating two to four. That includes 30" rounds for two, 36" squares, 47" rounds, a 48" round that seats four, and bistro-size tops from 30" to 38". Leave about 36" of clearance on every side where a chair pulls back.
Which shape suits a small kitchen table?
Round is usually easier in tight kitchens, because there are no corners to walk into and chairs can tuck in at any angle. Square Dining Tables suit a corner or a wall, where one or two sides sit flush and the table still seats two with full elbow room. Choose by where the walkways run.
Are there counter height small dining tables?
Yes. A 48" brown marble round is made at counter height and takes stools, which lines it up with a kitchen island. There is also a 30" reclaimed teak square with an adjustable height, so the same top can serve as a seated table or a standing surface.
How many people can a small dining table seat?
Most tables in this collection seat two to four. A 30" round seats two comfortably, while a 48" natural wood round takes four. If you regularly host more than four, look at a larger round or an extendable table that stays compact most days and opens when guests arrive.
