Is eating at a dining table better than eating on the floor?

A dining table is easier on knees and backs, especially for elders, and keeps food off the floor. Floor dining is traditional, needs no furniture and frees up space after meals.

Is floor dining good for elders?

Sitting down and getting up from the floor can be hard for elders and anyone with knee or back pain. A 30 inch table with chairs is usually easier.

How high is your dining table?

Which table suits a small flat moving from floor dining?

A compact 3 x 3 ft table or a set with a bench that tucks under the table saves the most space.
