A comfy place to sit and eat is essential to any home. To find out what makes a good dining table, we interviewed a master furniture restorer, an interior designer, and four more industry experts, we read dozens of articles, and we looked at hundreds of tables online (and 50 in person). Our buyer’s guide will help you determine the right size, shape, and style of table for your space, and what the table’s material and construction can tell you about its longevity. We also recommend 11 tables that we think offer an exceptional combination of quality materials, solid construction, attractive design, and a good price.
