I've always loved round dining tables the best because they make it easy for everyone to see and talk with each other without having to lean over to see past the person next to them. Most of the time, when a round table has leaves, it turns into an oblong which gives you those flat sides. But this one turns into a larger round table. Brownstone's Sienna Table ($3,735) goes from a 56-inch diameter that seats four to six people, up to a 72-inch diameter that seats 10. The style is so simple and classic it will work with traditional or transitional decor. Individual soft felt bags are provided to protect the extensions from scratches while stored. — Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR
