3 Of The Best-Selling Kitchen Tables At West Elm

Choosing the perfect kitchen table for your home is an important task that shouldn't be taken lightly. This is where your family and friends will enjoy meals, where your kids will do homework, and where you may find yourself drinking a glass of cabernet sauvignon while rummaging through a pile of bills. Although durability and longevity are major factors to consider, you'll also want to pay attention to style. Your kitchen table is just as important as your other décor, so it should reflect the current aesthetic of your residence. 

When it comes time to make your choice, House Digest has you covered. We've identified three best-selling kitchen tables from West Elm for you to contemplate. This furnishing retailer is known for selling a variety of sustainable, handcrafted products created all around the world (via West Elm). Their collection of kitchen tables comes in various styles, such as modern, contemporary, mid-century, traditional, and more. Below, we'll let you in on all you need to know regarding their most popular designs.

The first best-selling product on our list from West Elm is the Aurora Rectangle Dining Table, which is priced at $1,299. This table is 70 inches wide, 37.4 inches deep, and 29.2 inches high, making it a suitable size for a family of six. We enjoy that West Elm chose to splay out the table legs, allowing for more legroom and space to move chairs. 

Additionally, its simple, rectangular top and natural solid walnut finish make it a versatile piece in terms of décor. We can easily visualize using this piece within various design disciplines, such as mid-century modern, contemporary, or even something like Japandi style. Every table has the same basic shape, but what will make each one unique is the rich graining and knots that flow through the wood. When it comes to choosing dining chairs, we advise selecting something similarly simple, armless, and slightly curved to contrast the table's straight lines; both fabric and hard finishes will work.

For smaller families of four or less, we suggest taking a look at the Silhouette Pedestal Marble Round Dining Table, which sells for $1,599. There are two finishes available: a white marble top with a brass base and a black marble top with a dark bronze base. As a result, the availability of two contrasting designs gives customers flexibility in choosing an option that best fits their aesthetic. For example, the lighter option would work well in a contemporary setting with colorful chairs, while the darker, more modern choice would be better suited to contrast a neutral color scheme. 

Similar to the wood grain of the Aurora table mentioned above, each marble top on the Silhouette Pedestal table is different, providing homeowners with a kitchen table unique to their residence. Furthermore, the combination of natural stone and metal makes it an easy choice for customers who have similar finishes in their kitchen or dining space. The black marble option, for instance, could be strategically placed in a space where black or dark bronze hardware is present.

If you live in a home where guests are constantly being invited over, then you might want to check out the Anderson Solid Wood Expandable Dining Table, which costs $1,399. This table conveniently has two 25-inch drop-in leaves, which means it can expand from 40 inches to 90 inches wide and comfortably seat anywhere from four to eight people. We know it's sometimes difficult to find a tasteful drop-leaf table, but this product's caramel colored acacia wood finish gives it an elegant look that will actually elevate the overall design of a residence. 

We'd also point out that the tapered legs make it more suitable for modern homes rather than a traditional design. Additionally, there are quite a few ways you can design around this kitchen table. If you plan on mostly keeping it at its 40-inch width, you can wrap around four dining chairs and set one or two stylish benches off to the side to use when you expand the table. Because of its neutral design, most dining chairs will work as a perfect complement.
