Not only does round look nicer but also seats more people , posting pics of the whole space and how it relates to the spaces around it are alwyas a good idea. BTW fake plants are never good.

Not a Pro.

I happen to love round tables, great for 6, conversation wise, but a rectangular table is easier to add more people by extending the table with another table or adding extensions.

Doing double duty, I would buy a round table with extensions, that will give you options, the both of you can love.

I also like a round table

Agree, round with extension.

Thanks for your response Patricia. Plants are all real in my home, not sure why you think they are fake.

re the plant. I think it's because it's in such a small pot. It is huge and lovely but may need to be repotted - although it seems to be very healthy, but it does look a little top heavy with the small pot.

I know you didn't ask, but I think your kitchen cupboards would look better with

hardware on them.

Thank you Angel, I agree with you and it is on my list.

I agree. Round with an extension. Also if you place your chairs diagonally it will feel like there is more room for circulation.

Round or square both work. I think the important question is why your husband is set on square. Is it just an aesthetic opinion? Or does he not want to replace the table you have? Or is there some usability concern that he has that needs to be addressed?

I think it’s a mix of aesthetics and not wanting to part with it. Table has seen better days and new one would freshen up the space.
