The foldable dining table : Space-saving & multifunctional!

• When picking your folding dining table set, 4-seater options might initially seem the most affordable, but depending on design, materials used and your budget, a different seating capacity could be more cost effective in the long term.

How are Foldable Dining Table Categorised and What is Available?

• Material:
  A folding dining table can be made out of wood or have a metal or wood base supporting a glass, marble, wood or stone top.
  
  

• Multiutility:
  It could be a foldable dining table set (with non-foldable or foldable chairs), have inbuilt storage, a built-in cabinet, or an attached buffet console, be rotatable and foldable, have drop leaf attachments that allow for expansion, or be wall-mounted to allow for tucking it away when not in use, helping to increase available space in your room.
   

• Seating Capacity:
  Many such tables have a flexible capacity, being either drop-leaf or extendable.. You can find dining tables that do not come with chairs or a folding dining table set; 4-seater options are the most prevalent, but anything from 2 to 6-seater options are easy to find.

• Shape:
  Folding tables come in all the shapes that non-foldable ones do. Rectangular or square options that are perfect for corner areas, or round and oval shapes that are ideal when centre aligned, shape is often purely an aesthetic choice and has less impact on your space compared to whether you choose a big or small folding dining table.

What Should you Keep in Mind to Buy the Right Foldable Dining Table?

• Available Space:
  When choosing the right design for your room, ensure that the area surrounding your table is sufficient, factoring in the normal traffic flow around your foldable dining table with chairs once it is put to full use within that space.

What are the Foldable Dining Table Styles that Are in Trend?
 

• 6-Seater Wooden Foldable Dining Table
  6-seater tables, particularly wooden dining table, have a timeless appeal and are often the go-to for family dining. But if you don’t need to seat 6 at every meal, this can seem like a real waste of space. For a folding dining table set, 6-seater options can usually seat 4 people and when fully open, seat 6. If the table seats 6 when not opened up, then depending on whether it has a single or dual drop-leaf, or extendable sections, it may even seat as many as 10 people.
  
  
• Convertible, Foldable Dining Table with Inbuilt Chair Storage
  This is a super-saving option that’s highly versatile. With the chairs tucked away, it can be placed against the wall to act as a side table, but once opened up, it can convert into a 2 to 4-seater, depending on your requirements. Plus, by positioning it so that it creates a folding wall, the dining table can be converted to a breakfast nook, home office or study table, just by taking out the number of chairs that are needed at that time.
  
  
• Wall-Mounted, 4-Seater Foldable Dining Table
  A wall-mounted folding dining table usually has a hinged tabletop, and can either fold down or upwards into a solid frame to lie flush against the wall. When it needs to be used, simply pop it out of this frame and bring it horizontal to act as your tabletop. These tables look very minimalistic and chic – and with their innovative design they are more sturdy than they might first appear.

• Cross-Legged Foldable Dining Table
  This type of table can be considered the origin of foldable, space-saving dining table design. Not only can it comfortably accommodate 4 to 6 people, but when it isn’t needed, it can be quickly folded away. Its compact use of space and small footprint when folded, allows you to place it in a corner or out of the way against a wall until it’s needed again.
