An A-frame or X-frame table is another good option, creating a table that can support plenty of weight with ease, ideal if you’ll be loading it up not only with place settings but with appliances for food prep.
7. Go for the right materials
Wooden kitchen tables are a timeless pick, and for good reason. Classic looks and durable construction make wood kitchen tables an appealing option for many homes. For a modern alternative, choose a painted wood table rather than one that shows off the natural grain.
Glass and melamine are two other popular options for tables thanks to their durability. These low-maintenance materials are great for high-traffic areas like the kitchen because they are sturdy and easy to clean while still maintaining style.
8. Ensure quality construction
