Choosing the Best Round Dining Table for 6
Round dining tables are a favorite option with many people. When you gather your loved ones around a solid wood round table, conversation flows easily in an intimate setting. Our quick guide helps you determine which round dining room table is the best option for you.
What Size Round Dining Table Seats 6?
A round dining table for 6 chairs should be 60"-66" in diameter for a comfortable dining experience. The size of your dining chairs is an important factor to consider. If you have space in your dining area, always choose the 66" round version. This will give each guest a bit more elbow room and most chair styles will neatly push in underneath the 66" round table.
A 60" round dining table is also a popular size round dining table for 6 people. Carefully choose a smaller chair style to avoid chair seats bumping into each other. Our favorite 60" round table styles include the Carlisle, Global, and the Albany Round Dining Table.
Expandable Round Table Sizes for 6 People
Consider an expandable round dining table if your dining room is small. A 42"- 48" round table is perfectly sized for 4 chairs every day. Add a leaf for special occasions to comfortably seat 6 or more. Expandable round tables will self-store a leaf inside the tabletop, which extends easily with gear slides.
Leaves for expandable round tables vary from 12" - 18" wide. Adding the leaf turns your round table into an oval shape. 48" round tables with a 12" leaf will be a 48"x60" oval shaped dining table. Some round pedestal bases can also accommodate a second leaf to extend the table even longer.
Farmhouse Round Dining Table for 6
Our craftsmen offer several options as a farmhouse round dining table for 6. The Albany round table features a sturdy craftsman style base that is beautiful in neutral farmhouse wood tones. At 66" round, there is plenty of room for 6 people comfortably. The large, solid base also makes the Albany our favorite round table for 8-10 people.
The Farmhouse Round Extending Dining Table is another classic option for rustic round tables. The Farmhouse pedestal base design has a wide platform at the top and at the base, keeping the table rock solid. The center of the pedestal slims down, allowing chairs to fit underneath neatly. The ideal size of the Farmhouse Round Dining Table ranges from 48" - 60" wide, with or without a leaf.
Black Round Dining Table Sets for 6
A black, round dining table set is a timeless classic that blends with many home decor styles. Choose from sleek and modern to a distressed, rustic black finish. Our Carlisle round table feature a modern base design that we often build using Maple wood with a smooth Ebony stain. This is a perfect complement to a medium stained tabletop like Elm wood, which features an exotic grain texture.
We showcase the Global round dining table set for 6 with a black distressed finish. The detailed pedestal base is a beautiful style that highlights a multi-step, painted finish.
Please note that we do not recommend choosing a black finish for a solid wood tabletop. The smooth, dark stain often shows knicks and scratches over time. Opt for Rich Tobacco or Gunsmoke stain instead, which allow some grain texture and color variation to show in the wood.
White Round Table Sets for 6 People
Much like the black version, white round tables are versatile and timeless. White round dining table sets brighten up your dining room. A white painted table base is excellent for creating contrast between a wood floor and wooden tabletop.
Favorite white round table sets include the Newport dining set. The ideal size is a 48"-54" round table with a leaf to extend for 6 people. The Global is also a beautiful white pedestal base.
