Around a table, that’s how families gather and that’s where countless unforgettable moments arise. The choice of dining table is fundamental as a decorative and functional element in a home, don’t you think?
If you are thinking about what best fits your living room, a wooden dining table, a glass dining table, a round, oval or rectangular dining table and you need advice, at ABATON our team of specialists can help you make the perfect choice for you and your loved ones.
When choosing a dining table, you’ll first need to think about what you’re going to use it for. What do you need the table for? Is it for regular dining and eating at the table, or just to use when you invite family or friends over? Or… maybe you want to work on it from time to time.
For any of these reasons, the dining table with two washed teak tops is perfect because it is a very functional and elegant piece of furniture. It is at the same time a large table, so it can be used both to work with amplitude and to host all kinds of meetings.
Another aspect that you should consider when buying a dining table is the material of manufacture. If you plan to eat regularly at such a table or use it very often, it is best to choose very resistant materials such as wood, while if your use is sporadic and you prefer a modern and elegant dining table, perhaps a glass table is perfect for you.
In ÁBATON you can find tables for all tastes, such as the Twist table by Zeitraum, made of solid oak wood and available in various sizes. But we also have very innovative tables, with a very modern design such as the Quaderna Table by Zanotta, which has a veneered wood structure with Print laminate, is white with a silkscreen print in black squares and is quite resistant to shocks.
Once you have the material and you know what you want to use the table for, it is time to think about the measurements of the dining room and how much space the table should occupy. It is usually recommended a distribution that takes into account about 20 centimeters between chair and chair so that everyone can be as comfortable as possible when using the dining table.
If you want a large table, for about 6 or 8 people, it should measure about 150 centimeters long and 80 centimeters wide. If, on the other hand, you are looking for something smaller, for four people, the recommended dimensions would be 120 centimeters long and 75 centimeters wide.
The dining tables that best adapt to few or many diners are round and oval tables. At ABATON, the oval dining table Gubi, made of oak, walnut or beech wood, is
