Best Dining Table Sets in India- Reviews and Comparison 2021

The availability of space in your dining room or open kitchen is the first factor you should consider before buying a dining table set. This will give you an idea of the shape and dimensions of the table. Ideally, the distance between the edge of the table set and the wall should be around three feet as that gives enough space to you to move the chair and walking around the table.

Not just size but style of the dining room also matters. Get a dining table set that will complement the place where you are going to keep it, be it kitchen or dining room. The most common style includes:

• Traditional: Traditional country style is all about heavy farmhouse style dining tables which have exposed wooden surface.

• Classic: Period style pieces have distinctive elements such as curved cabriole legs, embellishments, and shaped aprons.

• Modern and contemporary: This is the style you can never go wrong with. Straight-edged and clean-lined forms made from wood, glass or meta inspire and charm many.

• Industrial: Open floor plans and bare bones of factories are the inspiration behind this style and it includes wood and metal dining tables.

Scandinavian, rustic, tropical, mid-century, global, glam, coastal, mission, cottage, and transitional are some other styles you can choose from.

The dining table set can be made entirely of wood, or it can be a combination of any of these materials- wood, glass, marble, and metal.

Wood: If your home is a party spot, then you need a wooden table as that can sustain the dinner party wear and tear. Natural wood such as mahogany, walnut, maple, oak and teak are sturdy and durable. Engineered or composite wood table is also durable and economical but is never as strong as a hardwood.

Glass: Glass table was considered vulnerable in earlier times. However, today’s version uses tempered glass which can survive scratches and heat and won’t shatter if knocked. If you give priority to decor themes, then the glass table is for you.

Marble: Marble dining table has a timeless appeal, looks beautiful and steals the show. But they are not easy to move since they are bulky amongst all the materials. Besides, they are a significant investment in terms of cleaning. Marble has to be well looked after to avoid any crack and stain.

Metal: Metal tables give your home both modern and industrial look. Metal tables are made using stainless steel. For the decorative purpose, rather than choosing a full-fledged metal table, you can select a combination. Consider metallic legs with glass top surface or lighter wood table with metal design features.

The size of a dining room plays a crucial role in deciding the shape of the dining table. Rectangle, oval, square and round are the four most basic shape in which a dining table is available in the Indian market.

For small spaces, a 4 to 6 seater square or round dining table is right as it will save space from looking cramped. If there is enough space for traffic flow in your dining room, 6 to 8 seater rectangular or oval shape dining table will be the ideal pick.

Triangle shape dining tables are also available, and they look good when space is a constraint.

The dining table that comes with in-built storage and space can be used for keeping crockery, napkin holder, or tablecloth.

The open shelf is the most common type of storage as it looks elegant and also serve the storage purpose. If you like to keep your things hidden, table set with drawer(s) will be ideal for you. Open storage is the third kind of storage and best fit for those who like to display their crockery.

There was a time when Japanese style dining table took people by storm as they looked stylish. But were they really comfortable?

A dining table with a standard height of 28 to 30 inches is best if you are looking for comfort. Whereas, the height of the bench, chair, or stool should be between 18 to 23 inches.

Chairs accompanying a dining table are usually of two types- upholstered or non-upholstered. The former category lends visual weight to the room and comfort to the style. Whereas, the latter is best for compact dining space as they maintain a sense of lightness.

Modern dining table sets are designed keeping space in mind. Unlike old times, modern homes have a space issue, and the struggle begins if you have people at the place for a get-together. Therefore, designers offer you extendable, foldable and nesting table options.

The extendable table, as the name suggests, can be extended or retracted as per the use. Foldable tables are best for those households that use the table less frequently as for the rest of the time you can simply fold it and keep it aside. Last but not least, under the nesting dining table, chairs can go entirely under the table, and only the footprint of the set is your dining table.

Before you buy a dining table set, be clear on how you will be using it. For instance, if your dining table set is going to be used daily by the entire family, choose a set made of sturdy and durable material. In contrast, if it is to be used less frequently, pick decorative finishes, such as a veneer matte-finished tabletop. 

You primarily have two options when it comes to dining table set. You can either purchase the complete set or buy the table and chairs separately. In the latter case, you can be creative and experiment with both the table and chairs regarding colour, shape and form. Or you can choose a combo of chair, bench or swing.

• Dining chairs can be easily cleaned with a warm, damp cloth.

• To protect your table from scratches, the key is to lift the objects rather than slide them across the table, be it a vase, dishes, or glasses. If you often toss the keys onto your dining table, use a small decorative dish instead.

• Except for teak, keep other wooden tables out of direct sunlight coming from your windows. Daily and long-hours exposure to UV rays can fade or bleach wood. You can always cover the window with curtains, shades, or blinds.

• Maintain a balance of humidity using a dehumidifier. High humidity levels can lead to swollen wood and encourage mould growth. In contrast, low humidity levels cause wood to dry out and potentially crack. An ideal humidity level for wooden furniture is usually 50-55%.

• Tablecloths are the most inexpensive way to protect your table from scratches and sun damage. Moreover, it is best if you use coasters along with a tablecloth to keep hot pans and dishes. 

• If the budget is flexible, then go for a tailor-made glass top as it will not only protect your tabletop but also make an incredible difference to your entire dining room. 

• Custom-made table pads are both an effective and attractive compromise. They serve all the purpose that a glass top does and don’t charge a bomb. Everything from glasses to hot pans can be placed directly on top without worrying about scratches.

• Do you experience the pesky white water rings on the top of your table? Well, that is the result of moisture being soaked into the top layers of the wood finish. And there is one thing that can protect you from those water rings, and that is a coaster. A tried-and-true coaster is perfect not only for tea or coffee cups but also for hot dishes.

• In the case of veneer tops, spillages should not be left to soak in as the liquid can get underneath and cause damage. 

• Never use an abrasive sponge or product to clean white high-gloss tabletops.

• A tablecloth or placemat should be used for marble tables to protect them from spilt red wine and foods.

• The top of a farmhouse table is easy to clean and maintain. Use either a damp sponge or a clean, dry soft cloth for cleaning the table. Never use cleaners or solvents.

• For small dings or scratches on painted surfaces, you can use touch up paint. A stain can fix minor dings or scratches on stained tables. However, major repairs should be left to a professional.

• If the table has a wax finish, you can apply only wax touch-up to maintain the original look. 

• If possible, situate upholstery chairs away from the sun. Prolonged and regular sun exposure can fade its colour.

• Keeping upholstery furniture from the window is not always possible. In that case, you can use blackout curtains. If you are not in favour of the drapery of curtains, solar blinds also do an excellent job in blocking out UV rays.

• Rotating the chairs once a week is another excellent option. Few of the piece is already bathed in sunlight; now it’s time for the rest of them. So, if fading takes place, uniform sun exposure will ensure all the chairs look even. After all, the last thing you want is a faded splotch on just one or two chairs!
