Buying Guide

The average homeowner isn’t trained to spot sturdy, high-quality furniture, making the furniture buying process a hit-or-miss endeavor. Of course, this can be remedied! Just continue reading as we have tips and tricks that are guaranteed to help you choose one of the best dining table options of homeowners: a square dining table that seats 8 people.

What style of square dining room table will best complement your home?

You can start by finding out what your personal style is as it often reflects your home’s existing style. If you want a home with a Hampton’s appeal, adding an iron industrial look dining table within the space won’t allow you to achieve your goal.

If you’re still unsure of the dining table style that will fit your space, look closely at the materials, colors, and textures that already exists in your dining room. Take inspiration from them. They are aspects that will give you the best starting point in determining the style that suits your space.

Relax as you don’t have to match everything perfectly. After all, your dining table will be the place where your entire family gathers not just to eat, but also to enjoy long conversations. Just make sure that you choose the 8-seater that you won’t get tired of having around the house.

What are the pros and cons of different dining table materials?

Another aspect that you should consider when buying a square dining table that seats 8 is its material or what it is made of as it is a captivating piece of furniture from its size. The most common options are glass, concrete, timber, and marble, which means there is something for everyone.

Glass is a bit more difficult to maintain as it will require more frequent cleaning sessions. The material is also prone to scratching, but it certainly is a great option when it comes to furnishing a dining room that doesn’t have the luxury of space. This is due to the material’s ability to provide a sight of more floor space.
Concrete, on the other hand, is hardy. It’s on-trend as well but it isn’t the easiest to move. If you choose this material, we won’t stop you but it is best if you are thinking of using the table for years.
If it is a high-end appeal that you are hoping to achieve, then look no further than marble. It screams luxury but keep in mind that it is a high maintenance material.
There's timber as well with its various colors and finishes. This material is a flexible option, perhaps the most flexible on the market. Hardwood like teak and oak are safer investments but composite wood suits more budget-conscious buyers.

What's the best type of seating to go with a square dining room table?

You can add valuable seating without taking up so much room by using dining benches instead of dining chairs. Dining benches work extremely well with 8-seater square dining tables. They can be tucked under the dining table when they're not in use as well.

That’s it! Remember what you’ve just learned and you’ll get the best dining table option that will make hosting dinners a lot more exciting!
