A Unique 48 Inch Round Dining Table and Chairs Combo

Our Mid Century Modern Round Dining Table is an excellent option for any space. Available as a 42 or 48 inch round kitchen table, extension leaves are optional for added space. This style features four angled, almost boomerang shaped legs that meet at the center for an interesting pedestal base.

Its modern, minimalist design pairs well with more complex, eye catching chairs, like the Cordelle style. The combination of straight, hard lines with a dramatically curved back is consistent with the Mid Century Modern style as well. The diagonal back legs of the chair that meet to support the front of the armrest make for an unusual yet timeless piece.

Shown above in walnut wood with fabric seats, this combination makes an excellent conversation set for a small space. Or, place more chairs for a unique kitchen or dining space with a stylish, sophisticated look. The unconventional lines of both styles compliment each other perfectly. Impress guests with these charming, cultured designs reminiscent of the 50s.

48 Inch Round Tables with a Leaf

All our 48" solid wood tables are available with a self-storing extension butterfly leaf or a solid top. Once in place, the leaf is almost imperceptible because of the seamless transition of our extension mechanisms. Never run out of seating for dinner parties or family dinners with an extendable dining room table.

An excellent choice is our Carlisle Round Pedestal style. This table features elegant, dramatically curved legs that meet to form a pedestal base with a small platform. The table top displays a large beveled edge for a sleek look.

Carlisle Round Single Pedestal Extending Dining Table in Maple and Elm Wood

Our Ellington Round Extending Table offers a more traditional look. It features a turned pedestal base with four short, curved legs. Our website displays a wide variety of wood types and stains for this specific style. This way, customers can easily compare them, which aids the decision process.

Ellington Round Extending Dining Table in Oak Wood

Another great option for any dining space is our Newport style. This 48" round dining table with a leaf features a sturdy pedestal base with thick beams that support the table top. This is a more traditional style, with eight slightly curved, strong arches that branch out from the base.

Dining Chairs for a 48 Inch Round Table

We offer a varied selection of dining seating options including solid wood chairs, upholstered seats, and dining benches. Our dining benches, while unique and distinctive, are rectangular, so we don't recommend them for round tables.

However, mixing and matching fabric and solid wood chairs is always an option, regardless of table size and shape. If seating four people at a 48 inch round table, we recommend two accent chairs opposite each other.

You could choose the same style chair for all four, but with fabric seats or chair arms on the accent chairs. For example, the elegant curves of the Curlew chair style pair well with our Carlisle table. Two regular side chairs with two upholstered Curlew chairs with arms would look nice. Or, fully upholstered chairs like the Parsons style with curved back legs would compliment the Curlew and Carlisle as excellent accent chairs.

More traditional styles like the Newport round table might look nice paired with the Austin chair. Both pieces feature thick, strong boards and classic, timeless styles. The Winston chair is another more traditional style, yet it has a much more delicate appearance.

Solid Hardwood Species for a 48" Round Wood Dining Table

Differences between wood species like wood grain, texture, and color vary widely. Some people prefer more straight, uniform grain for a sense of cohesion throughout their dining set. Others prefer figured grains that create unique patterns, curls, and swirls.

Our customers most popular choices of wood species are maple, hickory, white oak, and walnut, each for different reasons. Maple is one our more affordable options and hickory and white oak are both highly durable. Walnut, while expensive, is popular because it gives a classic yet modern feel.

Walnut is typically more expensive than alternatives because the growing process requires more time and effort. However, it remains in high demand because of its luxurious coffee tones and fine grain patterns. Walnut grain in both the heart and sap wood is typically straight and uniform, but curls and other patterns aren't unusual.

Walnut heartwood is typically a chocolate brown, sometimes with red or purple tones. Sapwood is much paler and usually has a yellowish color. Since the dramatic contrast between the heart and sap wood can be attractive, we offer a mix of the two. Or, you can choose our select walnut, which is 100% heartwood with consistent color throughout the piece.

However, we offer other unique species as well including cherry and elm. Cherry is famous for darkening over time from a light pinkish brown to a deep reddish brown. Its grain pattern is typically smooth and straight, but occasionally features curls, waves, or other natural patterns.

Elm, on the other hand, displays dramatic, highly figured patterns because of its interlocked grain. This creates swirls, curls, and a feathered, irregular look that holds high value. Elm heartwood is a light or medium reddish brown. The figured patterns are often a dark brown, contrasting more with the rest of the wood than other species.
