Rectangular Dining Tables

Rectangular Dining Tables – Classic Shape, Maximum Seating

A rectangular dining table is the go-to for everyday meals, homework, and hosting. From narrow, apartment-friendly designs to grand extendable tables for holidays, Luna Furniture carries styles for modern, farmhouse, and transitional homes.

Quick picking tips: For narrow rooms, choose a slim 30–36" depth. Hosting often? Pick an extendable rectangular table with butterfly or drop-in leaves. Want more knee room? Try trestle or pedestal bases instead of four legs to ease chair spacing.

We feature Ashley Furniture, Coaster, Crown Mark, Homelegance, and Signature Design by Ashley for quality craftsmanship, durable materials, and stylish finishes. Whether you love the budget-friendly looks from Wayfair or the polished aesthetic of West Elm, our assortment offers similar styles at unbeatable prices—with fast shipping to your location.

Size & Seating Guide (Rectangular)

• 48" × 30–36" → seats 4
• 60–72" × 36–40" → seats 6
• 84–96" × 40" → seats 8–10 (check base/leg placement)
• Clearances: Leave about 36" walkway around the table (minimum ~24" in cozy rooms).
• Place settings: Plan roughly 20–24" of width per diner; table depth of 36–40" fits shared dishes.

Materials & Care

• Solid wood & veneer: Use placemats/coasters; wipe spills promptly; avoid direct heat/vents.
• Glass: Clean with glass-safe spray; add felt pads under décor to prevent scratches.
• Stone/ceramic: Use pH-neutral cleaners; seal as recommended to resist stains.
• High-gloss/metal: Damp-wipe and dry; avoid abrasives to preserve sheen.

Layout & Styling Tips

• Rug sizing: Pick a rug that extends ~24" beyond the table on all sides so chairs slide cleanly.
• Lighting: Hang a pendant/chandelier ~30–36" above the tabletop; center to the table.
• Chair mix: Captain’s chairs at the ends + armless sides maximize capacity without crowding.
