These great dining tables range from casual to gorgeous!  Choosing a dining table for your dining room can set the tone for your entire design.  Begin with an elegant aesthetic, a classic shape, or an artistic statement and watch as your room takes shape.

Round Tables

 Round tables are ideal for a flowing conversation.  The Saarinen Round Dining Table created by Eero Saarinen for Knoll is a classic essential.  In fact, it doesn’t get more iconic than this table!  Saarinen’s design goal was to create a sleek table without the tangle of table legs; goal accomplished, Eero.
