There’s a reason why the mid-century modern aesthetic will never go out of style — or several reasons, for that matter. Its striking simplicity, retro charm, and subtle curves add character to any space. We’ve covered (and tested) hundreds of MCM pieces over the years, from small-space-friendly sofas to home decor, and today we’re talking about mid-century modern dining tables. 

If you’re in the market for a new dining table but don’t want to miss out on the vintage charm of an MCM piece, keep reading. I’ve scoured the internet for the most stylish mid-century modern dining tables of all sizes to help you find the best model for your space. Here are the ones that got a stamp of approval.

Lyncott Extendable Dining Table
$500$450

This extendable dining table is a total bargain for only $500, if you ask me. It has the clean-lined silhouette and subtle angles you want in a mid-century modern piece, while still being timeless enough to complement your other decor (even as it changes). And with its self-storing butterfly leaf, it extends to seat up to six people.

DOCKSTA Table

Tulip tables are textbook MCM style, and few retailers make them as affordably as IKEA. The DOCKSTA table’s round silhouette can seat up to four people, and is perfect for intimate dinner convos. You don’t need to worry if the meal gets messy, either — the DOCKSTA’s durable laminate surface easily wipes clean.

Mid-century modern pieces are Article’s specialty — just look at the Mara table. It has outturned, tapered oak legs and a chic marble top, and it looks way pricier than its under-$500 price tag.

Tribeca Round Dining Table

It’s also made of solid wood, so you know you’re getting a sturdy, durable piece that’ll hold up for years.
