The round pedestal dining table has been a fixture in stylish homes for decades, but it didn’t become massively popular until 1956 when Finnish-American architect and maker Eero Saarinen designed the now iconic Tulip table (there's also a matching chair by the same name!) Not only is a pedestal table with a round top a nod to one of the midcentury modern movement’s most charismatic pieces, but it's the ultimate versatile must-have.

If you’re short on space or lack a formal dining room, a round pedestal table is the perfect get because you can surround it with a few extra chairs—something you can’t easily do with a square or rectangular alternative. Plus, if you want to sneak in a few more, you can always opt for armless chairs. And unlike traditional tables, round ones—especially pedestal-based—take up less surface area on the ground, giving you even more room.

So if you want to fake a bigger space, now is the time to snag yourself a new dining table. Lucky for you, we’ve included several sleek options, courtesy of our latest Ultimate Shopping Guide issue. From a modern take on Saarinen’s original design to a sculptural piece that looks more like a work of art than a place to enjoy Sunday brunch, the round pedestal dining tables below are nothing short of masterpieces.

Whether you’re using your table as a makeshift desk when you work from home or as a place to gather around for family meals, you’re guaranteed to love one of these space-saving finds. It's safe to say that they’ve stood the test of time for a reason!

Designed by California-based duo Lawson-Fenning, this stylish table is deceptively fun. Simply flip the circular insert in the middle of the top to reveal a full-blown chess board. Chess pieces aren't included, so be sure to find yourself a cool set.

Even in a pale finish, the Sonali dining table will surely become the eye-catching anchor in just about any dining room—no matter how big. The top may look as though it's balancing atop three spherical shapes, but trust us, it's not going anywhere.

Made with a walnut veneer and lacquered white glass top, the Theo dining table boasts a look that'll pair well with all kinds of chairs. That said, if you like the chairs pictured, you can order your table with a set of two or four Joshua dining chairs.

It's our belief that marble makes everything look a little more luxe, and this 330-pound dining table is no exception. With a marble base and oak veneer top, it hardly gets more design-centric than this.

This Roche Bobois find may be one of the more expensive dining tables on this list, but it's worth the hefty price tag. Designed by French furniture maker Fabrice Berrux, the Aqua dining table features a marble base in the shape of a water droplet—certainly a unique take on round edges!

Perhaps the closest version of the table Saarinen had originally designed, Williams Sonoma Home's take is a modern homage worthy of anyone with an affinity for the 1950s.

Another accurate rendition of the original Tulip table, Arhaus's version is made of recycled metal. Well, we haven't seen anything like it, that's for sure!

Designed in partnership with interior designer Sherry Shirah, the Audubon table masterfully combines two of our favorite styles: Scandinavian and coastal. Available in two sizes, this sleek black dining table will surely add a touch of drama in your space.

If there is one woman who creates furniture that is as interesting as they are functional, it's Holly Hunt, whose Oryx dining table has captured our attention. Inspired by the desert animal after which it's named, the Oryx table works both indoors and out.

The Athena table from Wildwood may look aggressively white, but try to look at it as a blank canvas because it can be painted in any (yes, any) Benjamin Moore color.

Crafted from solid white oak with a natural matte finish, the Formation dining table doesn't skimp on style. It may feel like gloss is having a moment right now, but matte finishes are here to stay.

Arteriors's Redford dining table is a stunning display of structural elegance, with its planar base and heavily grained finish. If you're looking for something simple enough to go with what you already have but not so simple that it's boring, the Redford table is for you.

To those who may doubt the quality of a retailer that delivers furniture within a matter of week, you may want to take a peek at the Lima pedestal dining table by Noir. The luxurious table is a visual masterclass in contrasting shapes, making it one of our favorites.

This Baycheer table is the furniture embodiment of the phrase "small but mighty." With just a 27.6-inch diameter, this table seats three comfortably (four if you and your guests are willing to squeeze). We're loving the fluted base and thin yet sturdy round top.

As long as it fits in your space, the top can be as big as you see fit. The pedestal look is skinny base and big top, but there is no specific ratio, so opt for a table that speaks to you.

Pedestal tables with a large top may look like they're on the verge of tipping over, but the base is sturdy enough that, no matter how hard you lean, it's staying upright.
