It is an undeniable fact that food plays the most important role in our lives. And in order to enjoy it, a dining table is a must. A dining table is not just for sharing our daily food with our family, it is a place where people gather and bond over food, share their stories, laughter and happiness with each other and hence, dining rituals, since the dawn of time, have always been given so much importance. In this article, we talk about a variant of the dining table, the glass dining table.

But before we explore the topic further, one important question that you need to ask yourself is, what do you need to look for in a dining table? It is likely that you will want to invest in a dining table that will last you for a good 10-20 years or more. If so then here are some important aspects of a dining table that you mustn't overlook:

1. Your dining table should be made of a strong material

The sturdiness of your dining table is the most important point to remember. If you love hosting huge gatherings and parties, then you should always opt for a hard wood dining table. If not, you can also go for tables made of engineered wood. Thought engineered wood isn't that strong but still can with stand rough use.

If you are looking for style quotient in your dining table, then we suggest going for a marble top dining table. The timeless appeal of marbles will make your dining table a showstopper for sure. The other material that is equally popular, is glass. Glass is a much cheaper and eco-friendlier option and is sturdy too. Today, glass top dining tables are made using tempered glass that makes it resistant to scratches and breakage.

2. Decide on which shape you want for your dining table

Needless to say, the shape of your dining table matters a lot. And it also depends on the home you own or the apartment you have rented out. If you own a home that is spacious, then you can play around with various shapes and sizes. But if you have space limitations, then a small round dining table is a great option. You can also go for rectangular or a square size but remember to keep the seating to a 4 or 6 seater maximum.

3. Choose a dining table that you can easily shift

A great option for those on the move, opt for a dining table that you can easily transport without any damage to it. A flat packed dining table is a great option in this case. Added to that, it works great on any decor style.

4. Keep in mind the trend (or not?)

Styling your home according to the latest trends is cool but also beware of certain trends that can easily become passé. Hence, to be on the safer side, it is good to invest in a dining table that can never go out of style like the glass top dining table or a solid wood dining table.
