Which dining table size and shape suits your room?
Start with the shape of your room, then the number of people you seat most often. The nine dining tables in this collection come in four shapes: six round tops from 90 to 140 cm across, one square, one rectangle and one oval.
Table | Top shape and size | Height | Top | Base | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tulip oval | Oval, 196 × 121.5 cm | 72 cm | Fibreglass or walnut veneer | Cast aluminium pedestal | Not listed |
Tulip round | Round, 121.5 cm | 72 cm | Fibreglass or walnut veneer | Cast aluminium pedestal | 26 kg |
Tulip round, marble | Round, 90 cm | 72 cm | White marble or quartz finish | Powder-coated cast aluminium pedestal | See product page |
Platner | Round, 137 cm | 72 cm | 15 mm tempered glass | Steel wire on a stainless steel base | 93 kg |
Noguchi Cyclone | Round, 102 cm | 72 cm | Black laminate | Steel wire on a black powder-coated base | 34 kg |
Bellows | Round, 140 cm | 74.5 cm | Black glass | Leather over an internal wooden frame | 90 kg (base 30, top 60) |
Swag Leg round | Round, 120 cm | 76 cm | White laminate and walnut veneer | Four stainless steel legs | 18.5 kg |
Swag Leg | Square, 91 × 91 cm | 76 cm | White laminate and walnut veneer | Four stainless steel legs | 12 kg |
Swag Leg rectangular | Rectangle, 137 × 91 cm | 76 cm | White laminate and walnut veneer | Four stainless steel legs | 19.5 kg |
For four people. The Tulip round table's product page says its 121.5 cm top fits four chairs comfortably. The 90 cm and 102 cm round tops are smaller again, and the Cyclone's product page presents it for casual dining.
For six or more. The Tulip oval table seats six to eight, depending on chair size, according to its product page. At 196 by 121.5 cm it is the largest top here. The 137 cm and 140 cm round tables give no seat count on their pages, so measure your chairs and ask customer support before you order.
For a wall or a narrow room. The square and rectangular Swag Leg tables are the only straight-edged tops in the collection, so they are the ones that sit flush against a wall.
Check the height against your chairs. Five tables stand 72 cm high, the Bellows table 74.5 cm and the Swag Leg tables 76 cm. That 4 cm spread matters when you pair a table with chairs you already own, so compare it with their seat height. Browse our dining chairs to plan the set together.
Pedestal base or four legs: what changes?
Six of the nine tables stand on a single central base. The other three, the Swag Leg tables, stand on four legs. The choice changes how you seat people, how you move the table and how much fitting it needs.
A central base leaves the edge clear. With no legs at the corners, chairs can go anywhere around the top. On the oval pedestal table, for example, the product page gives six to eight chairs, depending on their size.
Pedestal tables are much heavier. The Platner table weighs 93 kg and the Bellows table 90 kg across its base and top, while the round Tulip table weighs 26 kg and the Cyclone 34 kg. The four-legged tables weigh 12 to 19.5 kg. Plan for help on delivery day, and measure doorways and stairs before you choose one of the heavy glass tables.
Fitting is simplest on four legs. The four-legged tables need only their feet fitting. The Tulip and Bellows tables list top-to-base assembly, and the Platner lists placing a heavy glass top on its base.
Four legs also suit work. Their specifications list commercial as well as residential use, and the square table's product page suggests it as a work table. For larger meeting rooms, see our conference tables.
How many people can sit at these dining tables?
It depends on the shape and size of the top. The Tulip oval table seats six to eight, depending on chair size, and the Tulip round table at 121.5 cm fits four chairs, according to their product pages. The other tables give no seat count, so check the top size in the table above and ask customer support if you are planning for a set number of guests.
Which dining tables have a marble or glass top?
Three of the nine. The 90 cm round pedestal table has a white marble or quartz finish top, and because marble is a natural material, the piece you receive will vary from the photos. The Platner table has a 15 mm tempered glass top, and the Bellows table a black glass top. The other six use fibreglass, walnut veneer or laminate.
How do I clean a marble or glass table top?
Wipe marble with a soft cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner, which the marble table's product page recommends to avoid etching. Clean glass with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to avoid scratches, as the Platner product page advises. For the walnut veneer and laminate tops, the product pages list a damp cloth, a spot clean or a light wood cleaner.
How do I look after the Bellows table's leather base?
Vacuum the base and wipe it with a soft cloth, using a leather cleaner where needed, and keep the table out of direct sunlight to avoid fading. Its product page lists these steps for the leather skirt, which covers an internal wooden frame. The black glass top is cleaned separately with a glass cleaner.
Do the dining tables need assembling?
Most need some simple fitting. The Swag Leg tables need their feet fitting, the Tulip and Bellows tables list fixing the top to the base, and the Platner lists placing its heavy glass top on its base. The Cyclone's page lists no assembly level. Assembly is not part of standard delivery, but customer support can arrange a quote.
Can these tables be used in a café or office?
The Swag Leg tables can. Their specifications list commercial as well as residential use, and the square table's product page describes it as suitable for dining or working. None of the six pedestal tables lists commercial use, so ask customer support for the full specification if your workplace has its own requirements.
Which designs are these dining tables based on?
The Tulip tables follow the pedestal designs of Eero Saarinen, and the Swag Leg tables the designs of George Nelson. The Platner table is based on a wire-base design by Warren Platner, and the Cyclone on a design by Isamu Noguchi. You can see more of their work in our Eero Saarinen furniture and George Nelson collections.
Are these dining tables made by the original designer's manufacturer?
No. These dining tables are not manufactured by or affiliated with the original designers or associated parties, and we claim no rights in any third-party trademarks. Full specifications, lead times and warranty terms are listed on each product page. You can browse more of the range, including coffee and side tables, in our designer tables collection.
