About this guide

Why we made this

We care a lot about dining tables. It is the one piece of furniture a home gathers around, and we think it deserves more care than most people have time to give it.

Choosing one is harder than it should be. Prices, sizes and seating numbers are scattered across dozens of store sites. So we started writing down what we found.

This site is where we share it with everyone. We read each store's own pages, note the date, and link back to the source. If we could not find something, we leave it out.

We are still learning, and we will get things wrong. If you spot a mistake, please tell us and we will fix it.

Who publishes this guide

bestdiningtable.com is owned and run by Transformer Table. We built it to help people choose the right dining table, including tables from other brands and other stores. Our own tables appear in some rankings, and we say so next to each list. Some stores we review also sell our tables, and we say so next to each of those stores. No other brand or store pays to appear in this guide. Every size, price and spec links to the maker's or store's own page, with the date we checked it. If you spot an error, tell us and we will fix it.
