Dining Tables

Find the centrepiece for your dining area with dining tables from Heavenly Beds in Cheltenham, serving Gloucestershire with UK-wide delivery.

A table-only purchase gives you the freedom to keep chairs you already love or create a combination of your own. Explore fixed and extending designs in wood and glass, with different proportions to suit a compact kitchen, an open-plan room or a dedicated space for gathering together.

Compare table shapes, leg positions and the space available for seating, checking extended dimensions where relevant. Think about daily meals as well as the occasions when you host more people, and choose a surface whose care needs suit your routine. Our Cheltenham team can help you review sizes, extension mechanisms and coordinating chairs, so your new dining table feels at home from the start.
BUYING GUIDE

Fixed or extending dining tables for your routine

An extending table offers flexibility when your seating needs change, while a fixed design keeps the arrangement consistent. Compare both against the available space and how often you expect to accommodate extra guests.

Two mechanisms are common. A butterfly leaf stores inside the table and folds out, so there is nothing to keep in a cupboard. A separate leaf has to live somewhere between uses, usually behind a wardrobe, which people forget when they buy.

Ask which type before ordering if storage is tight.

Shape against room

Rectangular seats the most people for the space and suits a long room. The standard for a reason.

Round is better for conversation because everyone can see everyone, and it removes corners in a room people walk through. It seats fewer people for the same footprint.

Square suits a square room and seats four comfortably, but scales badly beyond that.

How much table each person needs

Roughly 60cm of table edge per person. Under that, elbows meet. A 120cm table seats four properly, not six.

Glass or wood

Glass makes a small dining area feel more open and wipes clean instantly. It shows every mark and is noisier with plates and cutlery.

Wood is quieter, warmer and hides daily wear. It marks with heat and needs a mat under anything hot.

FAQ

Questions we get asked most

Open seven days.01452 260206
How many people will a table seat?

Use the table's stated seating capacity as a starting point, then compare chair widths, leg positions and space for place settings. The same tabletop length can accommodate different arrangements depending on the design. Heavenly Beds in Cheltenham can help you check a combination that works for everyday meals and any planned extra guests.

How is the extension leaf stored when the table is closed?

Storage depends on the extension mechanism. Some tables keep the leaf within the frame, while others have a separate panel that needs its own storage space. Check the chosen model's instructions and the leaf dimensions before ordering. Also measure the fully extended table and allow room for the additional chairs.

Is the glass toughened?

Ask for the glass specification of the exact table rather than assuming all glass designs use the same material. Follow the care, assembly and loading instructions, including guidance on hot items and surface protection. Glass type alone does not determine whether a table's edges, size and position suit your household.

When will my dining table arrive, and is assembly included?

Typical delivery takes an estimated 7–15 working days from ordering, including handling and transit. Confirm whether the tabletop, legs or extension components need assembly and whether that service is included. Check the largest package against your access route and arrange appropriate help for handling heavy or glass parts.
