Distressed in brown stain that complements its black metal aspects.
With its rustic and rugged appearance, this piece has a textured tabletop, which poses a minor challenge for those who use their kitchen table for writing.

$639.99 $939.99
What We Like: Airy design
What We Don’t Like: Thin tabletop material
Perfect for: Tropical and contemporary interiors
Not so great for: Traditional interiors
Oval dining tables for 6 such as this one are ideal for creating an open, stylish, and airy vibe in your dining area. Its top is crafted in manufactured wood with a wood veneer finish. Meanwhile, its base is made of metal rods and is designed with an elongated hourglass form in a stunning bronze finish.
While the entire table is gorgeous to look at, the tabletop is susceptible to wear and tear. You can opt to add a clear glass cover for protection. Its retro look is perfect for contemporary, modern, midcentury, and tropical interiors. For a serene vibe, we recommend pairing this with beige or white upholstered chairs. However, if you’re looking for something that will fit a resort-like interior, we suggest furnishing it with wicker chairs in a natural finish.
X Base Dining Table
X Base Dining Table
What We Like: Midcentury aesthetic
What We Don’t Like: Tabletop finish seems thin
Perfect for: Kitchen tables and casual dining
Not so great for: Formal, traditional dining
Minimalist with a touch of midcentury modern, this oval dining table for 6 has an attractive look. Its metal base features a crossed X design with a central connecting element. Its tabletop is made of engineered and solid wood with a striking sunburst design.
One thing to note is that its tabletop laminate seems a bit thin. If you are worried that it might warp over time, we recommend either placing a glass or clear plexiglass on top. This will help protect the material while still allowing its beautiful patterns to shine through. Pair it up with mid-century modern wood chairs for an airy look or fully-upholstered chairs for something more formal and contemporary. Install a globe constellation droplight to complete the ensemble.
Unique Dining Table

What We Like: Modern rustic aesthetic
What We Don’t Like: Water, dirt, and food scraps tend to get in the seams
Perfect for: Modern farmhouses
Not so great for: Using without a glass cover
Rustic with geometric details, this oval table for 6 provides a feast for the senses. Its tabletop sports a striking combination of wood planks, laid out in a chevron pattern. Its black flared legs further its modern appeal and give it a dynamic characteristic.
With its geometric wood inlay, this table has tons of tactile and visual qualities. That said, it also has grooves and seams where water, food, and dust can enter. One way to resolve this is to put a glass cover on top. Or you can also apply a sealer on top so you can easily clean the surface while preventing the possibility of warping.

Extendable Dining Table

Alcott Hill®
What We Like: Solid wood construction
What We Don’t Like: Plastic sliders on the legs
Perfect for: Classic, traditional interiors
Not so great for: Modern interiors
These classic oval dining room sets for 6 are compact yet bursting with sophistication. Made of solid rubberwood in a rich saddle brown color, its table has an extended leaf and a pedestal column with curvilinear legs. Meanwhile, the all-wood chairs are designed with vertical slats with slightly angled legs.
This is the perfect choice for those who are looking for a sturdy dining room set. While it comes with plastic attachments on the legs, these tend to make the chairs slide easily especially if you have hardwood floors. We recommend changing these instead to felt pads or rubble ferrules to protect your flooring and avoid accidental sliding.
Buying Guide
Emily is a young, talented designer, whose professional interests gravitate towards kitchen and dining spaces. She prides herself on her attention to detail, obsession with functionality, and appreciation for craftsmanship.
Oval dining table sets for 6 are available in different styles.
Darker wood finishes work better with most modern decors, whereas longer models with thin outward-pointing legs are perfect for some mid-century modern vibes.
Oval dining table sets for 6 in lighter wood finishes usually showcase a more contemporary look.
However, you can also find them in an industrial style (usually featuring a wooden top, metal legs, and a streamlined design), shabby chic (white, with a distressed look, and harmonious legs), or French country (with the same decorative approach but available in darker tones, too).
If you were hoping for a minimalist or Scandinavian oval dining table set for 6, look for simpler models with thin legs, a streamlined look, and either a light wood finish or a top in a natural color, such as white, yellow, forest green, gray, or dark blue.
Most oval dining table sets for 6 have a length that ranges from 5 to 6 feet and a width that goes between 2’6” to 3 feet.
This will leave enough room to seat two guests at each of the two long sides and one per head of the table.
However, if you want to be able to squeeze an additional couple of guests whenever needed, you can find slightly bigger models, too. Alternatively, you could consider extendable options.
Look around the room in which you plan to put your new oval dining table set for 6. Are there any other significant pieces of furniture? What materials are they made of?
Does the room itself have architectural features—such as historic trim, hardwood floors, or wainscoting—that you hope to downplay or feature?
Your dining table set can be made in just about any material, but it may make sense to match already-existing materials in your space. This will help give your room a more cohesive look. Then, once your table matches your trim (or floor, or sideboard) you can add individuality using decor, table linens, or other, smaller pieces of furniture.
The exception would be if you’d like to go for a modern or industrial look, in which case it might be nice to opt for a dining set made in glass, aluminum, or iron—and your trim likely won’t be made of these materials.
If this is the case, consider painting your trim or walls cream or white to help them recede into the background.
