Pedestal Dining Tables

Pedestal dining tables with a central column base

A pedestal dining table carries its top on one central column or a pair of columns rather than a leg at each corner. That single change is the appeal: with no corner legs, chairs slide in at any point around the edge, no one has to straddle a leg, and there is clear, unobstructed legroom for every seat. At Two Seventy Nine, pedestal dining tables start at $195.

The collection runs from small tulip tables on a flared single pedestal to double-pedestal tables built for a crowd. Tops come in round, oval, square, and rectangular shapes. Materials include solid wood, sintered stone, which is a hard engineered stone with a marble look, tempered glass, iron columns, and marble-look tops. Styles cover modern, mid-century, tulip, and minimalist.

Sizes span a wide range. Compact tulip and round tables start near 23.6 to 31.5 inches for two to four people, 47 inch round tables seat four to six, and the longest double-pedestal table reaches 95 inches for eight. Colors include white, black, walnut, natural, oak, gold, green, and gray, and several sintered stone tops pair two tones such as gold and green or black and silver.

A pedestal table suits a small kitchen or apartment where a round tulip frees up floor space, and it suits a larger dining room where a double pedestal seats a full table without legs getting in the way. The central base also makes it simple to add a chair for one more guest.

Whether you want a compact tulip table for two or a long double pedestal for eight, there is a design here to match, starting at $195. Every order ships free with delivery in 5 to 7 days.
