Explore our exquisite dining table collection for memorable meals

We live increasingly hectic lives, which makes spending quality time around the dining table an important part of the day for many of us. And, with the kitchen table now doubling as a multi-purpose hub for eating dinner, homework and internet browsing, it’s a great place to meet up and catch up. At JYSK, you can pick a full dining set with table and chairs included or mix and match to get the look you want. We carry a range of styles so whether you want a rustic country cottage with a white dining table, or a modern design with a glass top dining table, we’ve got the table of your dreams. We also offer a range of sizes, from compact two-person bistro tables to tables with extensions for up to an 8 seater and even pedestal style tables.

If you like to plan for every eventuality, you might want to consider an extendable dining table. Having the option of an expanding dinette is ideal for the occasional event without taking up space in your dining area during everyday life. Simply insert the extending leaves when you need to accommodate extra guests and store them away when you don’t!

Tips on choosing the right dining table

The dining table is the family gathering point, and the very focal point of any modern home, therefore a modern dining table is a positive and important investment. Read on and get dining table ideas and be well prepared before you venture out and invest in a new dining table.

A dining table can be rustic, simple, stylish, modern, practical or exclusive. The options are endless. But the most important thing is to go for a dining table that matches the style and accommodates the needs of your home. A dining table can make a statement in a room or it can play a more discreet role. Before investing in a beautiful new, modern dining table, it is important to arrive at a decision about what style of dining table you want.

The options can be endless, as it is important to consider all of the following:

- The shape of your dining table - should it be a round dining able or rectangular
- The material - do you prefer a glass dining table or a wooden dining table
- What colour? Perhaps you would prefer a white dining table to an oak one

Size and shape

Should your new dining table be large or small? Round or square? This is a great place to start. It is important that the table suits the size of both the family and the room it stands in. If you don't require a lot of dining space on a daily basis, a small square table is an option or even our wall mountable folding table. However if you'd also like to have the opportunity to invite guests over for dinner, you can consider a square folding table, or one with extension leaves. A round table matches both small and large spaces and gives a good dynamic in the space with the soft edges. The advantage is also that people sit closer to each other so that everyone can easily participate in the conversation.

Material and colour

Material and function go hand in hand, as not all materials can withstand the same amount of wear.
Laminate, veneer or glass. Common to these materials is that they are easy to clean with a damp cloth. A glass table can be sensitive to scratches, but is otherwise durable. 
Wood base is one of the more delicate materials. A dining table in e.g. oak or bamboo requires regular care with oil because it more easily absorbs scratches and stains. 

Should the table be light or dark? With a wooden table, you get a dining table in natural color, which can break with a stylish and white decor. You will also find a wide selection of black, white and brown deco veneer tables or transparent glass tables.

Functional, practical or modern?

… Or all three! You can buy a dining table that meets all three needs. Just consider what your dining table should be used for. A dining table can function as a daily dining or coffee area, home office area, for the kids homework and more. It can also be located in a room that is only used when there are guests. The choice of material often depends on whether it should be practical, as a table in laminate is durable for regular use in families with children, while a wooden table or plank table is more sensitive to stains and requires maintenance. Both types can be modern and neat to look at, and this often also plays a significant role in the decor.
