While the majority of Americans have moved away from being able to have dinner together every night, this doesn’t mean their homes should go without having formal dining room tables.

When people do get to gather for a meal, they should be able to do so with style. You may want to host a dinner party or be the one to have all the family over for a holiday feast. That’s where having just the right style of dining table for your home says so much about you.

Types of Formal Dining Room Tables

There are several factors that come into the equation for your selections of dining room tables. For example, you can choose from styles such as traditional or more contemporary. You also have a choice of the type or wood, finish and color your table should be. Or, you may want a table with a leaf. By now, you may be wondering what all this means. So, consider some of the options by understanding what they are.

The wood choices and finishes vary, and you will have no problem finding a selection to choose from when you shop with the experts at Maibach’s Home Furnishings. Selecting from the variety of formal dining room tables, there will be choices such as cherry finish, mahogany or oak, just to give a few examples. You may want something glossy or something more subdued. These are just a few of the things you will want to consider before making your selection.

Other Options for Dining Room Tables

The size and shape of your table will also be something to decide upon when shopping for your home. Some of this may be determined by the size and space of your dining area. Generally, the choices include round, oval, square or rectangular.
Traditionally, a formal dining room table seats either six or eight people. If you are working with a smaller space, you may want to consider a leaf table. A leaf table, or drop leaf table, has hinged pieces that can be extended or dropped. When folded down, you have more room space. By lifting these sections and using the built in bracket support, you can accommodate more dinner guests.

Don’t Forget the Chairs

When browsing through formal dining room tables, don’t forget to think about the chair selection. Most tables have chairs that were designed to be with the table as a set. But, you may have options to consider, such as getting padded or cushioned seats, or going without. Even the padding can either be for just the seat part or can include the back rest, as well. You may want seats that have arms or those that do not.

Whatever your choice, you are sure to find the choices you want for the best price at Maibach’s Home Furnishings.
