2. Consider your preference in seating when deciding on a dining table. If your preference is counter height then your decision on a table will be easier.

3. Also think about durability and how often your dining table will be used. Be careful of glass table tops and cheaply constructed tables. They wont stand the test of time, especially if you have a large family. Its always a good idea to go a little bit bigger.
