Elliptical Oval Table
The continuous curve of an elliptical oval table creates an eye-catching dining table.
Quick Points
- Elliptical Ovals facilitate conversation well
- They provide less seating with the same total size than other shapes

What sorts of spaces Ovals are good for?
An oval table fits well in a space that is longer than it is wide.
How the curve affects table use?
With no straight edges on the table, an oval is great for traffic flow. People can easily move around the table. With the curve, the ends become rather narrow, making it less than ideal for seating.
The issue of seating lots of people?
An elliptical oval table makes a dramatic table. The nature of the shape though is that it is difficult to seat a lot of people. As noted above, the ends are not ideal for seating.
How they compare to racetrack ovals?
The straight sides on a racetrack oval make it easy to seat people on the long sides of the table. The continuous curve of an elliptical oval table creates an eye-catching dining table but can make it difficult to fit quite as many people at the table.
How they compare to rectangles?
Rectangular tables and oval tables both fit into similar spaces. The main difference is that an oval is more organic in shape while a rectangle lets us use the corners. Corners are great for squeezing in an extra person or two, while the organic shape can improve the flow of your space.

The Nitty Gritty of Delivery
Imagine this scenario: You’ve been waiting anxiously for this day - the day that your custom hardwood table is being delivered. You can’t wait to see how it fits in your space. The delivery team arrives and … uh oh … the table can’t fit in the elevator, or through the door, or up the stairs. Now what do you do?
If only you could rewind time.
That’s actually how we like to deal with it. It requires some forethought and planning. Sometimes large tables need to be done as two pieces. Sometimes we need to see if the elevator ceiling can be lifted. Sometimes a crane is needed to bring a table in through a window.
As part of the design process, it’s important to consider how your table is going to get into your space. Consider the doors it will need to go through. How wide are they? Are there corners to navigate? If getting the table into the space requires taking it up or down stairs, it’s useful to look at ceiling clearance and how many stairs.
Getting your custom table designed, built and to your front door are three important steps to creating the space you’re imagining. The last step is to get it successfully into your space. Talk to us about what your space looks like so we can make sure your delivery day lives up to what you’re anticipating.
