There's something to be said about dining with the people we love — the conversations, the food that's shared, and the way a table forces us to look one another in the eyes can reveal a whole lot about us. It's more intimate than eating dinner on our living room couch [1], which is why it's important to not only have a dining table in our home [2] but to also have the right one.
Whether you're trying to squeeze a table into a small apartment or looking for something grand enough to seat your upcoming dinner parties, there are so many tables made for dinettes, kitchens, breakfast nooks, and spacious dining rooms available at West Elm.
