What to consider to help you select the best dining table for your apartment:
Space
Measure at least three feet between where you want to put a small dining table and the surrounding walls, furnishings, or appliances. This helps determine the right dining table size and length that leaves enough room for dining chairs and comfortable seating space. If you're really short on room, look for tables that measure 30" in width for just enough space to accommodate two place settings on either side of the table.

Number of Guests
Whether you share your dining area or simply enjoy hosting weekly dinner parties, it's important to think about the average number of people you plan to dine with to determine the proper size dining table. Round dining tables not only work well in small spaces, but they also allow for more flexible seating – no sharp corners!
When choosing apartment dining tables, opt for 42" to 48" dining tables to seat four people comfortably with room for place settings and a fun centerpiece. Planning for casual dining without the need for place settings? Round dining tables below 42" can also sit up to four people. Accommodate six or more dinner guests with a 60" dining table or larger.
Adaptable Configurations
Fit a small apartment dining space while also ensuring you can accommodate extra guests on special occasions by choosing a dining room table or apartment kitchen table with adaptable configurations. This includes designs with foldable sides or built-in or removable leafs so you can instantly lengthen or scale-back your dining space accordingly.

1. Adilene Solid Oak Dining Table
Choose a durable, space-saving staple that's built to last with the Adilene dining table. Made from solid oak wood, the Adilene dining table doesn't have hollows or knots so it's stronger than engineered wood. This means you can host countless dinner parties and take the Adilene with you on each move without worry. Measuring 47.2" in length, the Adilene is compact enough to accommodate apartment dining spaces while seating four people comfortably.
The Drexler dining table provides the max amount of seat space within the most compact design on our list. Measuring 31.5" in length with the ability to seat four, the Drexler works well as an apartment kitchen table because it can easily fit into a kitchen corner for a breakfast nook or accommodate four people for takeout dinner nights. What's more, it pairs a genuine white marble table top with a solid oak wood frame for a look that's all mid-century modern, yet neutral enough to work with different modern aesthetics.
The Draves dining table combines space-saving functionality with refreshing mid-century modern design, making it a must on our list of apartment-friendly dining tables. Perhaps its most notable feature is its crossed wood legs, which hint at mid-century modern starburst designs, while the see-through tabletop helps smaller spaces appear more open and airy. The Draves glass dining table is 37.4" in length leaving enough room for four people to sit.
The Tynan dining table is the best apartment dining room table option for flexibility. It's small and streamlined enough to fit in an apartment kitchen or a corner of the living room while its pared-back design makes it work in any modern aesthetic. Easily seat four people around the 35.5" tabletop thanks to the Tynan's tulip-style base and round surface. As an added bonus, assembly is easy. Just attach the base to the top and you can start making use of your dining table. Choose between white (pictured above) or sleek black to accommodate your apartment color scheme.
Invest in apartment dining tables that can adapt with your needs. This dining table has a built-in leaf, meaning it can expand from a dining table measuring 63" in length with seating for six to a 83" dining table with seating for eight. The Alberto comes in oak, walnut (pictured above), or black stains, so you can choose the one that best matches other wood types in your apartment.
