Dining room tables are one of the most important pieces of furniture in the home, drawing attention to the center of the room and creating memories of meals spent with family and friends. Yours should be comfortable, sturdy, and inviting to everyone involved, whether you feed a family of four or host frequent dinner parties. Since 1985, Bova Contemporary Furniture has been Cincinnati and Dayton, OH’s premier source for contemporary furniture, from comfy living room sofas to luxurious bedding sets.

If you’re ready to redefine meals with a unique dining room table, consider these factors before you begin your search:

• Material: Furniture experts recommend hardwoods such as mahogany or oak for dining room tables that are strong, stable, and long-lasting. While composite and engineered woods are cost-efficient, they're not nearly as resilient as their hardwood counterparts. If you’re seeking something a little more modern, contemporary furniture provides a variety of sleek, artful options, from molded plastic to twisted metal. 
• Measurements: Before you stop by the store, calculate the exact measurements that you’ll need in a dining room table. There’s no point in spending time debating a piece that’s too big or too small for your space. In a smaller space, a rectangular table might make the room look and feel congested, so choose a table that allows plenty of room between chair edges and walls.
• Shape: Whether you prefer an antique or contemporary style, shape makes a difference in every dining room configuration. Oval tables provide an open appearance, while square tables suit narrow rooms. Rectangular tables are more appropriate for large rooms, as they tend to crowd up a small space.

Whether you’re seeking an eye-catching dining room table or a state-of-the-art sofa, the most extensive selection of modern furniture is available now at Cincinnati’s Bova Contemporary Furniture.
