Mid Century Modern Dining Tables
The mid-century modern dining table is more than just a piece of furniture, it’s a statement of style, sophistication, and a nod to one of the most iconic design movements of the 20th century. Whether referred to as a mid-century dining table or simply an MCM dining table, these pieces encapsulate the essence of a design era that remains highly influential today.
The Allure of Mid Century Modern Design
Mid-century modern (MCM) design emerged in the mid-20th century, roughly from the 1940s to the 1960s. It is characterized by clean lines, organic curves, and a functional form that seamlessly blends with natural and man-made materials. This design ethos was a response to the post-World War II era, where there was a push for simplicity, affordability, and a break from the ornate styles of the past.
Key Characteristics of Mid Century Modern Dining Tables
- Simplicity and Clean Lines: Mid-century modern dining tables are known for their sleek, minimalist design. The focus is on function, with an aesthetic that avoids unnecessary embellishments. This simplicity makes MCM dining tables incredibly versatile, fitting into various interior design styles.
- Organic and Geometric Forms: The design often incorporates both organic shapes and geometric patterns. This creates a dynamic look that feels both natural and structured. You might find an MCM dining table with a smooth, rounded top or one with sharp, rectangular lines.
- High-Quality Materials: alike all of our other custom furniture, we use high-quality materials in our mid century modern furniture such as ash, walnut, and maple . These woods are not only durable but also add a warm, natural touch to the dining table.
- Functional Design: Every element of a mid-century dining table is designed with functionality in mind. The tables are often extendable, allowing for flexibility in dining arrangements. The design ensures that the furniture is not only beautiful but also practical for everyday use.
Why Choose a Mid Century Modern Dining Table?
Timeless Appeal
One of the main reasons to choose a mid-century modern dining table is its timeless appeal. Despite originating over 70 years ago, MCM design has never gone out of style. Its simplicity and elegance make it a perfect fit for contemporary homes, while its vintage charm adds character and personality to any dining space.

Choosing the Perfect Mid Century Modern Dining Table
Selecting the right mid-century modern dining table involves considering various factors to ensure it fits your space, style, and needs. Here are some tips to guide you in your decision:
Size and Shape
The size and shape of your dining table are crucial factors. Consider the size of your dining area and the number of people you typically entertain. Mid-century modern dining tables come in various shapes, including rectangular, round, and oval. Rectangular tables are great for larger spaces and can accommodate more people, while round and oval tables are ideal for smaller areas and promote a more intimate dining experience.
Material and Finish
Pay attention to the material and finish of the dining table. Walnut as well as ash or maple with a stain are popular choices for mid-century modern dining tables due to their durability and rich color. The finish should complement your existing furniture and décor. A natural wood finish offers a classic look, while our stains still showcase and highlight the natural beauty of the wood and offer an even shade of your choice.
Design Details
Look for design details that resonate with you. Some mid-century modern dining tables feature unique leg designs, such as tapered or hairpin legs, which add to their charm. The edge of the table, whether rounded or beveled, can also contribute to the overall aesthetic.
Extendable Options
If you frequently host dinner parties or have a growing family, consider an extendable mid-century dining table. These tables offer flexibility, allowing you to expand the seating capacity when needed and save space when not in use.
Caring for Your Mid Century Modern Dining Table
To ensure your mid-century modern dining table remains in pristine condition, follow these care tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the table with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and spills. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the wood or finish.
- Protect from Heat and Moisture: Use coasters, placemats, and heat pads to protect the table from hot dishes, spills, and moisture. This prevents damage and maintains the table’s appearance.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade the wood and finish. Place your dining table away from direct sunlight or use curtains and blinds to protect it.
- Dust : Dusting your table removes particles that can be abrasive to the finish, while the finish we use is high end, hardwearing and resistant to abrasions and household chemicals, over the life time of the table, leaving your table dusty is not good. It is best to get in the habit of maintaining your table right from day 1. This will ensure the maximum longevity of the finish on the table.
