Solid wood offers durability and a timeless look, while tempered glass creates a modern, airy feel. Sintered stone is an excellent choice for its high durability, resistance to scratches, stains, heat, and non-porous surfaces, making it easy to clean and maintain.

Cleaning and maintaining your dining room tables depends on its material. Here’s a quick guide to keep your dining table looking its best:

Sintered Stone Tables: Wipe round dining table surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent for daily cleaning.

Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to protect the sleek finish.

Tempered Glass Tables: Clean with a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth for a streak-free shine. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the round dining table surface.

Marble Tables: Use a pH-neutral cleaner to avoid etching or dulling the surface. Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining, especially from acidic substances like wine or citrus.

Modern dining tables are great for large families, especially when paired with extendable dining tables or benches. Look for tables with leaves or drop-leaf designs to accommodate extra guests during family gatherings or holidays.

To style round kitchen dining tables, start with a centerpiece like a vase or candleholder. Add a table runner or placemats for texture, and pair them with matching chairs or benches. For a cohesive look, coordinate the dining tables’ finish with other furniture in your dining room, such as buffets or sideboards.
