Barbette Black and Gold 5 Pc Dining Table Set

Round tables are widely considered the best shape for fostering communal moments and conversation. Because every guest sits at a slight angle toward the center, it facilitates better eye contact and easier sharing of dishes compared to rectangular tables. This set is specifically designed to seat four people, making it an ideal centerpiece for intimate family meals or small gatherings.

For optimal comfort and movement, interior design standards recommend a "clearance rule" of at least 36 inches between the edge of the table and the nearest wall or piece of furniture. Since this round table has a diameter of 47.5 inches, you should plan for a total footprint of approximately 10 feet by 10 feet. This allows guests to pull out the chairs and circulate around the room without feeling cramped.

Yes, this set is expertly scaled for urban living and smaller dining nooks. The 47.5-inch round shape is more space-efficient than square or rectangular alternatives because it lacks sharp corners, improving the "social flow" and traffic patterns in tight quarters. Its fusion of black and gold accents provides a sophisticated, high-end look that complements modern apartment aesthetics without overwhelming the square footage.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this set. Detailed instructions are included to help you securely attach the pedestal base and assemble the chairs. This ensures that each component—from the straight-leg chair design to the expansive tabletop—is structuraly sound and ready for daily use.

A pedestal base is a strategic choice for both legroom and aesthetics. Unlike traditional four-legged tables, a pedestal design eliminates corner legs that can interfere with guest seating, making it easier to maximize the dining area. Visually, the single black-finished support creates a sense of "openness," which helps a room feel larger and less cluttered—a hallmark of modern industrial design.

To preserve the raw, textured allure of the wood grain and the integrity of the gold accents, we recommend dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning or spills on the tabletop, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that can degrade the finish. For the tweed-upholstered chairs, blot spills immediately with a clean, dry towel and use a mild fabric cleaner as needed, following our general expert recommendation to avoid saturating the material.
