Shapes of Glass Dining Tables
Barrel-shaped is a compromise between the harshness of a rectangle and the softness of an Oval glass top. Its clearly defined edges mark space in the room, yet gentle curve yet leaves a formal head of table position at either end. This table shape often features generous amounts of usable seating space and increased diner visibility. Perhaps even the most taboo of subjects may be discussed with this sense of togetherness.

Oval glass tops offer the best of both round and rectangle with a few compromises. You can have a more flexible seating arrangement due to its rounded edges and non-confirmist seating positioning giving the largest amount of flexibility in terms of size and length. Oval tables feature smooth sleek lines that help create an elegant flowing aesthetic without sacrificing practicality.
Rectangle glass tops offer a lot of flexibility in size and shape, which are also most likely to fit into a room. Wider longer tables would fill a room whilst giving space for chairs whilst taking a seat. The square ends make a natural focus on the server, and look orderly when not in use.
Round glass is good for informal and tight family dining. Its neutral shape encouraging openness and overlap which is the most modern of dining perhaps allowing shared focus of attention before drink is taken. Round glass is best suited for larger, open space rooms. Because of its shape, round glass offers flexibility in seating arrangements but had a natural maximum around the 2m mark.
Square glass is less frequently used, but striking and ideal for use as dining tables or when dictated by the room. Square glass tables are typically compact while still offering contemporary style. Square glass tops offer an authoritative shape with a rigid definition. Square glass tends to have very strict seating arrangements due to the harsh corners inherent in its shape.
All of the above need to be appropriate and consider the use of the room and dining style to what space must deliver to be as important as what the room space would accommodate.
