King Arthur’s Round Table seated 150 knights and was a solution to seating equality. Even at family reunions, it is rare these days to need seating for more than ten. But your roundtable can follow a similar precedence, encouraging people to engage in conversation and to pass the bowls and platters for a family-style dinner.
A large table can also act as a craft center, a place to do homework, an area to fold laundry and a host of other homely tasks – although large, dirty projects should probably be discouraged. While it might seem as if it is a major consumer of space, adding storage seats and using it as a multi-purpose surface will quickly make the investment worthwhile.
Not every family needs seats for ten. In this era of the average family size being 2.5 children, most people are looking at seating a maximum of five family members at their table. However, that family of mom, dad, and two or three kids might not fit your family, especially if you are a blended family, with children from more than two contributing parents. It doesn’t take long to add up a baseball team if one or both partners have former spouses and children with each.
Other people who might need a large table are people who entertain often, or who do a lot of craft work. Entertaining might include youth groups, sleepovers, or special interest groups such as book clubs, reenactors, table-top gamers (fantasy RP and regular board games) and many similar sorts of social groups. A large, pleasant dining area with a spacious table goes a long way toward getting everyone together in one spot.
Sewing crafts are notorious for requiring a lot of space, especially when making period costumes or toys. A large table gives a good surface for spreading out a cutting board. Large jigsaw puzzles are another activity that receives good benefit from a large table, allowing family dinner to be served on time without moving the puzzle.
- Consider the reason you are purchasing the table, and features you would like to have. These can include having an expandable tabletop or a rotating pedestal at the center of the table.
- The expanding top allows you to reduce your round tables footprint for those times when you don’t need to seat ten. Store the extension pieces carefully in a dry, secure area to prevent warping. With an expandable table, you can use it to comfortably seat your family or expand it to its full size for extended family gatherings or social groups.
- The pedestal top is great for serving dinner family style, allowing dishes to be moved around to diners locations without lifting heavy containers.
- Look for a table with a solid center support to which the tabletop fastens securely. This will enable placing the ten seats around the table without participants encountering a chair leg.
