Pedestal Dining Table
The pedestal dining table is another great design that is function and stylish
for either the kitchen or family dining room. It's design is usually a round
tabletop with a single pedestal leg in the middle of the table going down to
the floor and supported by 3-5 feet. They come in a wide range of sizes and
materials, from small tables to very large ones. Because of the pedestal they
are often not expandable, although the more clever designs do offer an extra
leaf as an option. Expandable pedestal tables are definitely more expensive
because that feature requires a lot of skill to create. They can have drop
leaf sides if it's part of the design, but many are just regular
tables
that
always
stay
the same
size.
One option is to buy a complete set of table and matching chairs. Because they
are round they fit best in larger rooms with plenty of room around it to walk
and serve food. If they have the drop leaf design that side can be lowered
to make even more space, but most of the time their elegance demands that all
sizes be up.
This is a very popular table in smaller apartments which don't have enough room
for large parties anyway. If you regular host large gatherings you would need
an expandable table, not one with a pedestal.
These are beautiful tables and we have links to a couple of our favorites on
amazon.
