Excuse me but what type of dining table is 36" ? Round, square, pictures?

round, it hasn't arrived yet. Sorry, don't have a picture..The top is white marble and the base is not bulky, its elegant with slim brushed steel legs.

trying to find a pic...

I purchased this base but with a 36inch top. It's a little hard to appreciate from the angle.

You can't set 4 placesettings with placemats on a 36" round table. Minimum would be 42"

I use 36" tables as end tables or a bistro table with two chairs.

Beautiful chairs! thanks for the suggestion, but they're not in my budget so I'll have to look for similar alternatives. just purchased this condo and still have a ton of renovating (kitchen/bath)

and decorating still to do. You're right, I'm mistaken, I actually ordered a 38" which is the smallest that would accommodate 4. I have such a small apartment. I have an off-white sofa, white tv stand, and grey floors. I'm looking for curtains as well..

This is the Lafayette Chair from Wayfair. Various makers do them but the sizes vary.
