Consider these tips when shopping for the best 72 inch round dining table set.

1. Make sure you choose a solid hardwood for your 72 round dining table.

The strength and durability of a solid hardwood round table ensures that your table will last for many years. Amish furniture makers in Ohio build tables in Red or White Oak, Maple, Cherry, Hickory, Elm and Walnut wood. Take the time to familiarize yourself with the natural characteristics of each wood type.

From the rich tones of solid Cherry wood to the modern feel of Walnut wood, the overall table style varies greatly by wood type. Traditional classics like Oak or Hickory wood feature prominent wood grain and variation that only Mother Nature can create. Pro tip: grain variation is excellent at hiding small knicks and scratches that may occur over time in any wood table.

Maple wood, with a subtle grain texture and naturally light color tones is available in a wide range of shades. Find modern Maple 72 inch round tables in tones like Willowbend or Honey Cider, adding a natural wood feel. Create a striking large, dark wooden round table with Maple in Rich Tobacco, Gunsmoke or Brown Velvet.

2. Choose a pedestal base that supports the heavy, 72" round solid wood tabletop.

At Dutch Craft Furniture of Berlin, we recommend the Alberta style pedestal for all 72" round dining tables. The design of the sturdy craftsman style base has the wide footprint required to support a heavy solid wood tabletop. The Alberta pedestal allows the heavy wooden tabletop to extend with a leaf while keeping the table strong. Notice how the angled pedestal allows chairs to fit neatly around the large base.

The Alberta round table is available for any interior design style. Add a smooth tabletop in Cherry wood with upholstered dining chairs to style it formally. Opt for a plank style tabletop instead in Maple wood with DC Driftwood stain for a warm, distressed feel.

Large, modern 72" round tables are a classic favorite in Maple wood with light stains. Adding Millcreek chairs in Willowbend stain on Maple creates a modern farmhouse round table set. Going a bit darker, Honey Cider and Cocoa Light stain on Maple wood have a classic feel, paired with the popular Austin dining chairs.

Walnut wood is another favorite for a large modern round table set. The striking beauty of solid Black Walnut wood usually features a clear finish, no wood stain applied. Walnut has a naturally dark brown color tone with lighter streaks throughout.

The craftsman style of the Alberta pedestal is perfect for round mission style tables. Choose quarter sawn White Oak wood with Michael's Cherry stain for the classic Mission style in a round table. Quarter sawn refers to the angle of the wood cut, creating a side view of the grain texture. This is a favorite for solid White Oak tables.

3. Find the best chair style for a 72 Inch round dining table.

Carefully consider the chair style you choose for a 72" round table. Seating capacity will vary depending on the size of the chairs. Amish dining furniture is completely customizable, allowing you to choose any chair style to pair with any round table. As you style a 72 inch round dining table with 8 chairs, make sure you choose a chair that will fit.

Avoid chairs with arms at a 72" round dining table in wood. Some large wooden or upholstered chairs are too bulky to fit 8 neatly. Customer favorite chairs like Fostoria, Kinglet or Millcreek styles ensure people can fit as expected.

4. Ensure a high quality, durable finish for your 72" round table.

All Amish round dining tables feature a durable, catalyzed conversion varnish. This finish protects the solid wood for daily use. Guaranteed to be waterproof, the finish is also heat resistant to 220 degrees and UV resistant. Care and maintenance is easy; simply clean regularly to prevent dust buildup.
