A few months ago, we were looking for a small dining table (30-inch diameter or less) for our kitchen—not bar height, just a regular small table. We had such a hard time finding anything, until we finally spotted the perfect used tulip-style table on craigslist and snatched it up. (You can also find lots of formica-topped small breakfast tables on CL if you keep an eye out.) In case you're on a similarly frustrating search, we've rounded up a few current retail options, all 30 inches or smaller, to get you started...
