Hmmm it's all nice! 3 or 1 maybe. The round may be a nice contrast. Will the square table fit the space?

Yes, it is smaller than it looks.

I like the 3rd one the best.

3!! what's the top made of??

I also like the 3rd one best - the color goes well with your cabinets.

Actually, I like the first table with the second chair : )

Three looks too 'busy' with the granite for my taste. And your cabinets are so pretty, I don't know if the distressed look would be a good choice. If you need more seating space than table one will give you, then I'd choose two. Love those chairs!

Are you having stools at the peninsula? That might make the table area a little smaller.

Love #3

While I love #3, I think in your space I agree with LL--#1

Here is another option if you want the flexibility of seating 6 people at times, because it comes with a leaf.

Avalon 45" Black Round Extension Dining Table from Crate & Barrel.

We have this table in our eating area (well, not right now, because we are still renovating our kitchen) and we really like it.

I like #1 and #3, but #3 might compete with your granite.

I also think 3 will compete with the granite. I like the Avalon table that Lisa posted.

sprtphntc7a - #3 is copper top.

It caught my eye when I was at Bassett Furniture because it has the amber color we have as an accent but I am worried about the busyness, especially since they are custom order and the copper varies so you can't be sure what you are getting.

#1 is from Bassett also, and you can customize color/base/chair. But. It ends up costing a lot more. Table number 2 is less than 1/2 the price but it is online. I hate not being able to "touch" it.

I looked at Crate and Barrel initially, but that was when I was thinking glass.

Lisa- you got me back on there website and gave me a few more things to consider. Thanks.

I like 2

lavender_lass @ Lavender Lass Books - yes, I will have two stools at the counter. Actually, many of the tables I have considered can be ordered counter height. If I go that directions, I order 6 chairs that could do double duty.

If your house has a modern flair to it -I think I like the last tannish round one. Next is #3. Round might bring out the soft curves of your pretty lighting. Fair warning - I have been pining for a round table for a while. I have always had rectangles and want a change. So - I am drawn to all tables round these days...

That copper table is awesome!

3 but only if you will really have enough room for the chairs and can pull them out for seating without blocking the path to the kitchen or other rooms.

Yes, the copper table is awesome, but I agree with others who've said it will appear busy with the granite. I think the first one would look great, but it appears to be a bit small? Oh, and not a fan of pub height, stick to normal table height :)

#1, 3 is too busy and fights with your counter.

Arhaus has some I've been eyeing.

You mentioned counter height table. Don't do it.... from someone who's been there, done that, and hated every meal at it.

ascorsonelli- Why? What did you hate about it? I've had a few people who have said "no" to the counter height. I just thought it would be more convenient since then the chairs can work at the table or counter.

I honestly think it is just a personal preference whether you get table or counter height.

In every house I've lived in, including this one, there has been a counter with stools and a dining table close by. Every meal, except for special occasions, is eaten at the counter. My guests always sit at the counter, my family always goes to the counter, everyone I know prefers the counter except for maybe my dad. I notice he tends to go to the table.

Everything's a personal preference.... Maybe it's because I'm only 5'5". My husband (6'1") liked it. It felt like I had to CLIMB to get in the chair. And they were so heavy and cumbersome to move around. Couldn't just easily scooch around. Had to hop down and move the chair away. Or move it in then squeeze into the chair.

Just to note, there is standard height, counter height and bar or pub height.

Pub height is definitely a climb to me at 5'4" but counter height means the seat height hits mid thigh, very easy to sit in for me.

It is very interesting to me as I read other posts that so many people seem to be "anti-counter height". I think I will start another post asking for opinions on that issue.

#3, it will look great with the lighting. I also dislike the counter height. Cumbersome and bulky.

I love the third one best. By a lot. But much depends on how many people you want sitting around it - #2 provides for more people. Also, the actual table height would be a factor, and I can't tell that from the pics.

Even though I am tall, I'm not really comfortable sitting at counter height tables. I don't like severely low ones either. (Right now I'm at my dining table, the chair 18 inches off the floor. I could stand another three inches of height, but certainly I don't appreciate the bar stool height!)

(PS, I didn't read ALL of the prior posts, where some of this might have been addressed.

I love the look of #3 and it would give more of an eclectic look. If you want to keep things more contemporary/tailored, I would prefer #1. I am another round table fan and sad it doesn't work in our future space. I also see Lavender's point..

As much as I prefer #3, I wouldn't want to have my arms on metal (or glass), so I would choose a wood top. Those Arhaus choices look nice too.

I also prefer normal table height simply because it's easier for me to get in and out of the chairs.

I just realized I never finished this thread. Here’s the copper topped table we ended up with and I love it.
