The right dining table changes a room permanently

Not the cushions. Not the lighting. The table. It sets the proportion of the room, determines how many people can sit together, and defines how a home feels at its most used moment of the day. Pod's dining table collection brings together and extensive collection of tables for every taste and style, across every shape, size and construction — from solid oak and teak pieces built to last generations, to bespoke made-to-order designs where you choose the leg, the stain and the length before a single piece of wood is cut. Free delivery and assembly across Ireland on selected pieces over €399.

Which shape or type suits your room?

Round and oval tables

Everyone faces everyone. Conversation crosses the table without effort. Round and oval tables suit square rooms and open-plan kitchen-diners where the table sits centrally. They seat the same number of people as a rectangle of equivalent length but without a defined head position — a more relaxed, informal dining dynamic.

Rectangular tables

Rectangular tables suit rooms with a clear length and work efficiently alongside a bench on one side. They are the most common dining table shape for a reason — straightforward to place, straightforward to seat, and available in the widest range of sizes and finishes.

Oval tables — the length of a rectangle, the softness of a round

Oval tables sit between the two. More surface area than a round, softer edges than a rectangle, no defined head position. They suit near-square rooms where a rectangle would feel too directional and a round too compact.

Fixed or extendable — which is right for your home?

A fixed table is the right choice for a dedicated dining room where the full size is appropriate every day. No mechanism. No leaves to store. Just the table at its permanent size — simpler construction and often a stronger design statement.

Extendable tables — compress for daily use, open for hosting

An extendable table suits a kitchen-diner or open-plan space where the table needs to serve multiple purposes between occasions. The mechanism quality matters as much as the size — a well-engineered system holds firm at full extension without flex and ideally stores its leaves beneath the top so they are never in a cupboard when you need them.
