Hosting a dinner party? Planning a date night at home with your partner? Tired of eating on the couch? Sometimes, barstools and TV tables just don’t cut it.

One of the main reasons I chose to move into my current apartment is because it has space for a dining table. I spent a few years in an apartment without one, and I did not want to eat another meal without the option of a table ever again. Sure, it’s fun to eat pizza on the couch on a Friday night, but as a clumsy individual and lover of marinara, I’ve proven to myself time and time again that juggling a plate on my lap every night of the week is not a good idea.

When it came time to start my search for a dining table, I decided to look for smaller, budget-friendly tables, but that didn’t keep me from bookmarking the ones that cost a bit more for the home I dream about having in the future.

Whether you are ready to invest in a dining table for your forever home or one that is more cost-effective for your apartment like me, these are the best dining tables available for every budget.
