Why oval

  1. 01

    Room for many

    An oval table is as long as a rectangle: 240 x 110 cm seats 6 people, 300 cm even more. Yet it looks softer and lighter.

  2. 02

    No corners

    No sharp corners to bump your hip on, and it's easy to walk around. Ideal in a narrow dining room, and with children.

  3. 03

    Three ovals

    A classic oval is a pure ellipse. A Finnish oval has straight sides with semicircular ends. A Swedish oval is a rectangle with large, soft corners.

What is the difference between oval, Finnish oval and Swedish oval?
A classic oval is a pure ellipse, narrowest at the ends. A Finnish oval has straight long sides with two semicircles at the ends, so there's more room at the ends. A Swedish oval is a rectangle with large, soft corners. The Danish oval sits between an oval and a rectangle: see Danish oval table.
How many people fit at an oval table?
An oval table of 200 x 100 cm seats 4 people, 240 x 110 cm seats 6 people, 260 x 120 cm seats 6 people and 300 x 130 cm seats 8 people. A Finnish oval table of 240 x 110 cm seats 6 to 8 people.
How much space do I need around an oval table?
Leave about 80 to 90 cm free around the table, so the chairs can be pushed back and you can still walk around it. In the configurator you enter the size of your room and see straight away whether the table fits.
What does a bespoke oval dining table cost?
An oval table of 200 x 100 cm on a pedestal base has a guide price of €2,999, one of 260 x 120 cm €3,349, including VAT. A Finnish or Swedish oval table of 240 x 110 cm: €3,199. Your exact price is in your quote, within 3 hours on working days before 6 pm. After your quote, we make the technical drawing for free.
Which oval table for 8 or 10 people?
For 8 people an oval table of 300 x 130 cm works well, seating 8 people. For 10 people a Finnish oval is the better choice: its straight long sides and rounded ends give more room at the ends. A Finnish oval table of 280 x 120 cm seats 6 to 10 people. More in A table for 8 people and A table for 10 or 12 people.
Round or oval table: which suits better?
A round table suits a square room and keeps the conversation together, up to about 8 people. An oval table suits a longer room and easily takes more guests. Neither has corners to bump into. The full story is in Round or oval table: which one suits you?
