The quick Scoop
Why the table comes first
Thanksgiving is around the corner. If you are hosting, the table is the piece that decides how the day feels, and it is also the piece you cannot borrow. Chairs can be added later. A table cannot.
A round table is the easiest format for a mixed group because everyone sees everyone. Check the room first, then the guest list.
How to size it
Measure the room, not the guest list
Leave space behind every chair so people can stand up and move around. Clear that distance before you choose a diameter.
Pick a size that can change
A table offered in more than one size lets you choose the diameter that fits your room today.
Match chair and table height
Pull a chair up to the table at the store or at home and check that knees clear the edge.
Two tables and one chair
A smooth circular table with an oak finish, available in two colors and two sizes.
A 54-inch round table with a flower-petal silhouette, vertical channeling and a washed travertine finish, made for indoors or out.
