Pedestal tables made of wood, metal and glass

Pedestal tables don’t stand on four legs, but on a single sturdy support in the middle. You can opt for wooden tables to go with a natural decor or pedestal tables with a colored paint finish for a more modern look. And if you’re looking for something small, you’ll also find some models in a shiny combination of glass and metal. Here are some tips from Stylight on tables to match your style and your budget:

The natural look: pedestal tables made of wood

Wooden pedestal tables come in round or rectangular form to suit all tastes, and you can also choose the shape of the support. Do you want a broad, plain foot or one that’s playfully carved? Or are you looking for a metal pedestal to create a striking contrast to your wooden table top? No matter what you decide, wooden tables underline the natural style of your dining room.
