It’s only natural that people would be beginning to focus on table settings and decor this time of year. With Thanksgiving fast approaching and the holiday season nearly here, these are the days when the dining room has its moment. Even if the gatherings are much smaller this year — or limited to immediate family — all eyes will be on the dining area.

With that in mind, we’ve shifted our focus a little away from the table setting and toward the table itself. What makes a dining table unique? How can homeowners select a table that’s eye-catching but also practical for their everyday needs? We selected ten dining tables we love in rooms across the country, ranging from traditional to trendsetting. Take a look at our favorites below, browse some of our one-of-a-kind vintage and antique or brand-new tables, and find inspiration for your next meal.
