Rectangular dining tables for multifunctionality

In some homes, the dining room is a multifunctional piece of furniture, used beyond mealtimes. Rectangular shaped tables are the ideal dining room tables for large families or where the table needs to serve multiple purposes. With a rectangular table, you can more easily create zones for simultaneous activities, such as two children doing homework at the same time.

With clean lines, a slim profile and elegantly angled legs, the Aspen Dining Table delivers on style and functionality. The table is available in two sizes to suit your available space and can be paired with the matching Aspen Dining Chairs for a cohesive look. Choose from three premium timber veneer finishes.

Available in a round or curved rectangular shape, the curved base pillars can be rearranged in an open or plinth style to suit your taste.
