If you are on the lookout for a new kitchen table and you are looking for a design that will stand the test of time then it is worth considering investing in a classic pedestal kitchen table.
Pedestal kitchen tables consist of a circular table top that is mounted on a single sturdy central column. Some pedestal tables have a square or rectangular top but the majority are circular tables.

One of the best features of a table like this is that there are no annoying table legs that get in the way of the people who are using the table. This is a great bonus if you think you are going to be trying to squeeze an extra place setting around your table if you plan on entertaining once in a while This is something that is usually quite tricky to do if you have a table with four legs, as it can prove hard to get the extra seating space as the legs become awkward and get in the way. The way that these tables allow maximum leg room means that you will be able to sit more people around your table and you won't have to worry if a couple of surprise guests turn up for dinner.
These tables have a very classic design and this means that if you choose to invest in a pedestal table then you will be able to make sure that it will last you for many years to come, as it will never go out of style and it will fit in with many room schemes with ease.
This type of table will look fantastic in a kitchen that has a cool and classic design and because pedestal tables look great in paler colours such as white and cream, it means that a table like this will also look good in smaller rooms, as it will not be a block of dark wood that has the potential to overpower a room.
If you are really tight on space then you can get some space saving pedestal tables that can fold flat against the wall, as the table top is fitted onto the base with a hinge that can mean that you can fold it right down so that it does not take up too much room in your house. Pedestal tables with this feature also make them a great choice for occasional tables that can be stored out of the way when they are not in use.

If you think that you will using the table on a daily basis (if you are using it in your kitchen for example) then you will be wise to consider getting a Perspex or glass table protector so that you will be able to save the top from any scratches and wear and tear over the years.
