Dining tables often highlights and represent the shape of the dining room but each, have different function and purposes, and also relates to the type of connection and relationship of the people who’ll be in the dining room—can be circular, square, rectangular and oblong shape. 

    ROUND DINING TABLES are preferred for smaller family sizes, closer bonding and fit for wider spaces. Round Tables also gives curvy, circular and unique element to the room; not a plain and boring one. Use round wooden dining  table , if you have wider size of room as it can minimise hazards but consume more space than edgy tables—the reason is that it can’t be put on the side or near the walls because doing so can only create imbalance and not harmony. These shapes of table are good in the center and spacey rooms.
