Square Dining Tables

About

The square dining table tends to get chosen for practical reasons before aesthetic ones. Someone is working with a room that's roughly as wide as it is long, or a section of an open-plan kitchen-diner where the dining area sits in a wider bay or a corner that doesn't suit a long table pointing along its length. They've sketched a rectangular table into the space and found it leaves awkward gaps at the ends or pushes too close to something on one side. A square table fits the room in a way the rectangular one doesn't, and once the proportions are right the rest of the decision becomes considerably easier. There's a social quality to a square table too, one it shares with round tables: no head position, everyone facing each other across a surface that's the same distance in every direction. At four seats it's a particularly natural arrangement, with one person on each side and no one marooned at an end. For a household where daily meals are the priority and the dining table is genuinely used for sitting together rather than just occupying the room, that quality is worth something. Our square dining tables sit within our wider dining tables collection and are available in a range of sizes and surface materials, sold as standalone tables to pair with dining chairs of your choosing, or as part of a matched combination in our square dining sets collection if you'd prefer chairs included. Finance is available on many of our dining tables, subject to status. We deliver nationally across the UK, and our Manchester showroom is open if you'd like to see square tables in person before you order.
