Halland — Scandinavian Round Dining Table

Nobody gets a corner, everyone can see everyone, and you can add a chair without rearranging the plan. A round top also loses the hard points a rectangular table puts at hip height, which matters in a room people walk around rather than sit down in.

42 inches seats four comfortably and suits a kitchen end or an apartment dining area. 55 inches is the six-seat size and needs clear space all the way round - allow roughly a metre beyond the edge for chairs to pull out. Both stand 30 inches high.

Good question, and we are confirming it. The maker's specification sheet calls the third finish Rosewood while the order picker calls it Natural. We have gone with the picker, because that is what you actually select, but the two disagree and we would rather tell you than quietly pick one.

No. The maker states assembly is required. On a table of this construction that normally means fixing four legs to the underside of the top, which is the simplest kind of assembly there is - but budget time for it on delivery day.

No. Price varies by size only - all three finishes cost the same within a diameter.
