10 Easy Pieces: Dining Tables on Wheels

An idea worth considering: a dining table on wheels, especially if you’re lucky enough to have an indoor/outdoor situation. You could DIY a version or go with one of the 10 options we’ve sourced here, many of which take cues from restaurant kitchens, science labs, classrooms, and Shaker prep tables.

Above: Yes, this taller table requires stools rather than chairs, but we love the Kitchen Island from Clare de Boer’s furniture co. Roseland, “inspired by early American prep tables” and fitted with wooden casters; from $1,925.
Above: The Panton Move Table, a 1970s design from Verner Panton, who wanted an entirely flexible, modular table, is $2,563 from Hive Modern.
