A normal price for a dining table runs $150–$800 for most households, with the $250–$500 range covering the majority of mid-range sets that seat four to six people reliably.
Where a dining table lands in that range depends on material, size, and whether it includes seating. MDF tabletops with metal or carbon steel legs typically fall in the $150–$400 range and offer solid everyday durability when the surface finish is scratch- and heat-resistant. Solid wood tables start around $400 and climb fast. Extendable dining tables — which add a hidden center leaf mechanism — generally run $50–$150 more than comparable fixed-size tables at the same construction level.
- Budget dining tables (MDF or particleboard, basic finish): $150–$300.
