A round table is really versatile – it’s easy to pull up a couple of small stools, and make space for more guests.

Plus, it’s easy to talk, chat, and have communal meals (like hotpot or korean barbeque) at a round table. No one’s left out of the action!

2. This other round table that sits conveniently next to a dry kitchen

If you’re all about functionality, you’ll love this design. With easy access to power outlets, your dining table can double up as a workspace.

To achieve this, extend your kitchen countertop into a dining table. Alternatively, you can DIY the setup by placing your dining table right next to the countertop, even if it’s not made from the same material.

5. This beautiful wooden table that extends out forever
