If you like the sleek modern style of furniture, a rectangle glass dining table would fit perfectly into your design plan. A glass table with metal legs or shiny black legs can enhance the appearance of a modern dining room. If you have a small dining space, you might want to select a glass table with a rectangular shape that can be extended to provide extra dining space. You can be as modernistic as you like with your selection of chairs for your table.

If your home or apartment is decorated in a contemporary or even a country decor, a rectangle glass dining table can still be incorporated into your design. Rather than choosing a table with metal or black legs you could select one with wooden legs. The addition of wooden chairs would make the table blend in nicely with your decorating scheme.

There are several advantages to selecting a rectangle glass dining table. It gives the illusion of a more expansive dining area. If you choose to place an area rug under your dining table, the glass top allows the beauty of the rug to be seen better. A solid wooden table would hide most of the view of the rug. In a small area, the reflective quality of glass makes the room appear larger. The glow of candle light reflecting off of a glass table top creates a romantic atmosphere. Tableware of any color looks attractive placed on top of glass. One more benefit to a glass top table is the versatility it allows you when adding accent pieces to the room.

The dining room where the roomers gathered if they felt like eating was a small dingy room.  Very few came down for breakfast because Madame stopped serving at 9:00 a.m.  It was an ungodly hour for those who had any kind of  life at night.

A glass top dining table nearly filled the room.  When you sat down, the back of the chair bumped the wall.

The only one who got up early was George Crandle Endelman and he wanted the breakfast because it was gratuit. George counted his francs. The strong coffee, a piece of baguette and butter were plenty to keep him going until dinner-time. George knew how to save money.

He sat at the huge table and wondered why Madame had placed this huge table in the breakfast room.  It was actually a lovely table.  It would fit beautifully into Lara Tassaco’s handsomely decorated home in New Orleans’ Garden District.
