One of the best shapes for a dining room table is the classic oval. Its inclusive curve allows everyone to be part of the conversation without needing to crane their neck to see around their neighbor’s head. An oval shape is especially good for tighter, rectangular rooms, as their curves allow a little more room in angled corners and visually occupies less space. Pairing an oval tabletop with a modern base also creates a light and airy feeling in the room.

Modern Pedestal Base Oval Dining Table
At a generous 78.75” long, this stunning modern oval dining table can accommodate eight people at a dinner party. A single wide pedestal base supports the tabletop without impeding anyone’s legroom. Crafted from a combination of walnut and MDF, this table weighs 116.41 lbs.
Designer Advice:
To maintain the quality of your oval wood dining table, do not expose it to direct sunlight or excessive temperatures. Extreme changes in humidity can cause warping, so use protective mats under any hot dishes. Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth. Dust often using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh fabrics, paper towels, or disposable dusting towels as they may scratch the surface. Use a non–silicone and non–wax polish; do not use soap, water, or wax.

Lacquered Modern Oval Dining Table
Caracole Classic
A combination of solid maple and maple veneers is finished with a lacquer seal. Although the lacquer is water-resistant, it will not tolerate excessive quantities of liquid. Dry any spills immediately and polish the surface; otherwise, liquid may seep through the lacquer and cause irreparable damage.

Designer Advice:
A bold contemporary design makes this modern oval table stand out from the crowd. Solid maple wood accepts stains easily, and this table has 11 different stain finishes from which to choose. The lightest stain color (Natural) looks like birchwood, while the darkest stain color (Rockport) is close to black. Choose the Walnut or Chestnut stain option for a more traditional finish.

Mid Century Modern Oval Dining Table
Corrigan Studio®
While the tabletop on this mid-century oval dining table is constructed from walnut veneers over rubberwood, the intersecting leg system is made from solid walnut wood.Due to natural factors, no two tables have the same grain color, finish, or wood knots.
Designer Advice:
The 64” length option for this oval dining table comfortably seats six, while the 71” option can easily seat eight. Neither table features an extendable leaf, so they will always be the full length. When measuring seating for a dining table, note that each person should have 24” of room so as not to bang elbows with their dinner partner.
