• Is this a table that you will solely leave in the dining room?

• Are you remaining in your current home for a while? Or is this temporary?

• If you want to invest in a table, but need some versatility, look for a piece that is classic, well made, and offers space saving solutions (ie adding or removing leaves).

• How often you will actually be using this table?What are the day to day needs of this table as compared to those when you are entertaining guests?

• If little ones will likely be running around this table, pay attention to the table’s height, and any finishings like table claw feet.

• Take a peek under the table to see if your kids will hit their heads on any aprons, the balusters or if they will trip on the stretcher when they make table forts or are playing hide and seek.

• If you are buying a glass table, evaluate how sturdy it is and where/how/if the glass is connected to the rest of the table.

• This shouldn’t discourage you from purchasing your dream table, but it is important to be aware.

• Does the table go with the rest of the space that it occupies?

• If you are planning to redesign a space with the table as the focal point, plan accordingly.

• However, if that is not the case, then you should spend time ensuring that the table fits with the rest of the space.
