For the smallest of spaces—as in, you don’t actually have room for a dining setup—a folding dining table will be your new favorite furniture piece. This option is just 14-inches wide and 36-inches deep when completely folded up, so you can tuck it next to the sofa or use it as a prep station in the kitchen when it’s not in use. Lift one side to expand it to 30-inches long (perfect space for two), or fully unfold both sides to extend to 45-inches long (great for 4 guests). It even comes with 4 folding chairs you can tuck right into the center of the table.

This beautiful pedestal table provides that classic French country look without the bulk of a traditional dining table.
