Maytham Drop-Leaf Pedestal Dining Table

The Maytham drop-leaf pedestal dining table takes the “best overall” spot on our list of the best small dining tables because of its 15 versatile finish options, budget-friendly price, and most of all, its space-saving design. Its round tabletop and pedestal leg design means you can easily fit four or more chairs around it if need be. The tabletop itself is 42" long and 42" wide – but you can shorten it to 24" wide and 42" long thanks to its double drop-leaf configuration. This makes it perfect to place up against the wall or along the back of a sofa when the table is not in use.

If need be, you could even use it as a food prep station! This table works well up against the wall, but you can also position it in a more central spot to accommodate two extra stools in a pinch. The tabletop is 23.6" long and wide, providing enough room for two people to dine comfortably or four people to enjoy casual drinks and appetizers.

Best Metal

Marie Steel Dining Table

The Marie steel dining table mixes style with function for a result that's both modern and space-friendly. Its steel composition means it's dense, durable, and built-to-last.

Available in antique (pictured above), silver, and gray steel finishes, you're bound to find one that matches with your existing metal furniture and appliances. At 32" long and wide, this cool metal table offers just enough room for two to four people to dine and enjoy drinks. However, its square shape also makes it wall- or corner-friendly, should you need to minimize seat room to maximize floor space.

Best Marble

Make your dining room feel fresh and refined – no matter how small it is – thanks to the Moran genuine marble pedestal dining table. This French country-inspired design features a genuine white marble table top paired with an airy powder-coated iron frame. Measuring at 34" long and wide, this dining table can fit three people comfortably and five in a pinch (just keep in mind this will reduce the tabletop space per person).

Best Glass

Small glass dining tables should create a sense of openness in otherwise compact spaces, and the Deonte dining table does just that! It has a 38"-long and 38"-wide tempered glass tabletop set on top of a bowed iron frame with intricate detailing. The Deonte table's size makes it perfect for four people to sit and dine comfortably. However, you can pull up a few extra chairs in a pinch thanks to its round tabletop design.

The open frame and leg configuration makes it easy to tuck stools completely under the table when you want to prep food and ingredients – then just pull out the stools for an instant dining set-up. When placed in a central spot, you can fit four stools (two on either side). You can even add two more stools (one at each end of the table) to increase your seating capacity to six when needed.

What's more? The Wes dining table comes in three solid wood wire brush finish options including barnwood, chestnut, or storm gray (pictured above).

Best Drop-Leaf

Adams Drop-Leaf Trestle Dining Table

When both drop-leafs are folded down, you can use the narrow table as a console table, buffet table, or breakfast bar. Its sleek design makes the drop-leaf configuration look intentional and stylish, so as not to take away from the rest of the space. Even more exciting are its foldable legs/base, which allow for a more space-savvy placement that doesn't take up necessary floor space.

It also comes in white, brown (pictured above), or black wood finishes to match your home aesthetic.

Best Storage

Penzance Counter-Height 60'' Dining Table

The Penzance dining table takes the spot for best storage because of its clever use of space to maximize room on the tabletop. It's on the longer end of the spectrum for small dining tables, measuring 60" in length. However, it has a 30" width to keep things narrow and small space-friendly. The biggest space-saver, however, is the built-in wine rack and storage shelves! Keep the tabletop clear for up to four people to use (or six in a pinch). Then when it's time for wine refills, just grab one from the built-in wine rack before placing it back. This coastal-meets-farmhouse dining table is made with a blend of solid and manufactured wood and finished to look breezy and weathered for an all-around relaxed vibe.

Best Modern

Adreille Pedestal Dining Table

The Adreille dining table is one of the best Modern kitchen tables for small spaces because it marries sleek, pared-back design and function into one seamless piece. The pedestal-style table has a sleek, gloss-like base that melts into the floor. This contributes to an open, airy vibe, and allows you to maximize seating around the table without worrying about hitting chair legs or frame components. It also has a faux-marble tabletop so you can add a touch of refinement. The tabletop itself measures 40" in length and width, allowing for four or more people to sit comfortably around the table. However, there are even more size options available if you can afford a larger table. The marble-like tabletop pairs with a resin base of either white (pictured above) or gold depending on how bold you want to go.

Best Traditional

Best Mid-Century

Fenway 47.25'' Dining Table

The Fenway takes retro inspiration from sputnik shapes, boomerangs, and sunburst patterns, and puts it together in a space-conscious design. The tabletop is equally 47.5" long and wide, providing a spacious dining area for four people. The flared boomerang-style legs create spacious zones for guests to put their feet.

Best Rustic

Flintville Drop-Leaf Solid Wood Dining Table

The Flintville dining table combines rustic-inspired design with a space-saving configuration for a stylish and versatile furniture staple. It features medallion moldings and carved wood details that add a bit of charm to the otherwise pared-back design. It has two drop-leafs on either side of the tabletop that make it super adaptable to suit your space and number of dinner guests. When both drop-leafs are up, the tabletop measures 50" long and 36" wide, with room for four people to sit comfortably. However the table's length reduces to 28" long and 36" wide when both drop-leafs are down, creating a slimmer silhouette that allows two people to sit and dine. Choose between white or black solid wood finish options to reflect your rustic color palette.
