Furniture for your break or eating areas can come in many different types to fit your design and layout desires. There are bench seat style tables, pedestal tables, booth and island style seating, and folding tables.
The bench seat table can come in a stationary or folding mobile table styles. Both these styles are good when you have a large room where you want to maximize seating. Both of these tables come in sizes to fit 4 to 16 people. You can find round, square and rectangular shapes to allow more flexibility in design layout of your room. The stationary style table is best when you intend on leaving the tables in place at all times. They are quite cumbersome to try to move or store on a regular basis.

If you intend to have your space serve more than one purpose, and want a table that can be moved and stored it is recommended that you use a folding mobile table, pedestal style table, or a folding table. When you are choosing a folding bench seat table be sure to check that it has a couple of important safety features in the design. First you want to make sure it has a pinch-free center hinge so that anyone folding or unfolding the table will not get their fingers pinched between the table halves. Second they should have a safety lock that automatically locks when the table is folded to keep it from unfolding while stored. Another important safety feature is a gravity lock that keeps the table from folding unexpectedly while in use. Both the bench style tables are made with a hardwood backing with laminate top on the bench seats and table tops. They generally have a rubber or plastic banding around the edge as well.
The island and booth style seating is very similar to the bench seat tables. These types of tables can offer the user a little more comfort since the seats generally have a back on them. However these styles of tables generally only seat 2 - 4 people. The island style seating can offer more comfort to the user since each seat is independent and swivels. This allows users to come and go without disturbing other people at the table. Both of these styles of tables might be used in the same way a bench seat table would be, but are more flexible for smaller room areas.
Pedestal and folding tables can be great where space is limited, you want to use the room for other purposes, or you want furniture that can serve other purposes than for dinning. Pedestal tables can come with a variety of pedestal styles. You are sure to find one that fits the design environment you want to reach. Pedestal tables are also easier to move and store for frequently redesigned or rooms that serve more than one purpose. There are also pedestal tables with flip tops. The top of these tables flip up and the feet nest together to allow for easier storage in less space.
Both the pedestal and folding tables have another great design opportunity. With both of these tables you choose the number and style of chairs you want to use. This gives more design style and color options. Some of the main types of chairs used with these tables are folding and stacking chairs. Both can be plastic, steel or fabric coverings.
As you can see ,when it comes to designing the style and layout of your dinning area there are many options. In the world of the internet you are sure to find tables to fit your needs at great prices.
