I searched everywhere for a round extending glass table and eventually found this ingenious piece of engineering of an extending table. It extends into a large oval and I have seated upto 10 people around it . It cost a lot of money but I love it, only downside is it takes a lot to keep it looking sparkling clean. Also you can keep an eye on your guest and see if anyone is playing footsie under the table. I have moved several times with this table and it has fitted in perfectly in every home. It also gets a lot of ohh's and ahh's when you show people how it extends. It is worth every substantial penny I bought it for.

All of them are beautiful, and final choice would really depend on the interior style and look you would like to achieve. But to choose for now it will be Dark - Blackbone reclaimed oak table.

Surely you get stuff - food and debris caught in the small gaps and joins of the parquet - not very hygienic, I'd have thought.

Hi Mel, It depends on the size of the room and how many people you want to seat. In general a round or square table seating more than 4 will take up more space in comparison to a standard rectangular table. A good way around this is looking at extendable options (round turning into an oval and square into rectangle) if you only need 4 seats but would like the option of additional as and when needed. Round tables also soften the room slightly + if you have a single leg in the middle, will offer a more flexible seating arrangement. If you're stuck, feel free to send photos/plans so we can advise more or have a look online at tables to see if there are any options you like (this may naturally eliminate one of the two) D
