How to Choose a Round Table

Create a budget for purchasing your round table. Decide how much money you can spend, and make sure you stick to your budget. This is especially important if you're redecorating your entire space. You want to make sure you don't spend too much money on the table, leaving nothing in your budget for other things you need. Your budget will also change if you need to purchase chairs with your round table.

Decide where you're going to put your round table. You might be purchasing a round table for an indoor space, such as a dining room, kitchen, or breakfast nook, or for an outdoor space, such as a patio, deck, or porch. Make sure you direct your search toward the type of table you're looking for.

Determine how large you want your round table to be. This will depend on how large the space is where you plan to put your table. Make sure you don't overpower the space with a table that's too large, but at the same time, you want to make sure your guests have plenty of room while sitting at the table. The size might also be affected by the table's main function. A formal dining table will typically be larger than a game table, for example.

Look at the space where you plan to put the round table, and make sure the table you choose fits with the overall decor of the area. If you have very modern furniture and accessories in a room, for example, you should choose a round table with a more contemporary look, rather than a more traditional look. Also, if you already have chairs that you plan to use with the round table, make sure the table you choose matches both the color and style of the chairs.

Search online for stores that offer the type of round table you've decided to buy. If possible, visit the stores' showrooms to see the tables you viewed online. Compare the prices and styles available at the various stores, and decide which table to purchase based on criteria that's most important to you, such as material, quality, price, style and size.
