Square dining tables are a good solution if you do not have a large group to seat most of the time. Two square tables can even be grouped together to create a larger rectangular seating arrangement for special occasions. A benefit to having square tables is that they provide intimacy and a satisfying solution to seating a small number of people. It can be off-putting to have large a rectangular table if there are only two or three people present for most of your meals a larger table can make the space seem cold.
