Need To Seat A Crowd At One Table? This Is How You Do It!

For every day occasions, your dining table may be the perfect size for your family. You may all fit comfortably in your dine-in kitchen, seated around the island, peninsula or the designated kitchen table.

 

But what happens when a situation arises where you need to accommodate more people? How will they all fit at one table? Don't fret, there are simple ways to solve this issue.

 

Let's take a look at some custom made seating options:

 

 

Woodmont Single Pedestal Table

If you are limited in space, a Single Pedestal Table is an excellent option to add seating to your dining area.

 

This style of table provides ample leg room in comparison to a four legged table. Due to the curved shape, seats are easy to get in and out of, without disturbing others who are seated at the table.

 

Home and Timber has a wide variety of single pedestal tables available. For instance, The Woodmont Single Pedestal Table is available with up to two 12” extensions, which can expand your 54” round table to a 78” oval table, which has the capacity to comfortably seat 8-9 people.

If you love the look of a pedestal table but are in need for something a little larger, you may want to consider a Double Pedestal Table.

 

A wonderful example is the Barrington model. This grandiose piece not only makes a bold statement in the room, but it also serves as seating from six to twenty-two people, as well. The rectangular shape is available in 72” length and you can choose from a 42” or 48” width.

When parties aren't taking place, just simply remove the extensions and store away until the next gathering.
