Would you choose a round or rectangular dining table to seat up to 10 people. The open plan dining room/living room could take either. I'm tempted to have a change and go for round, but are there disadvantages?
depends on how many would normally use it. Get the round table if the norm is to sit 8plus. If you will often have less it is more intimate to use one end of a rectangular table
The beauty of a round table is that everybody sitting around the table can interact with everybody and there is no issue with straining necks to talk the person sitting two seats down form you. Although a round table to sit 10 people would have to be large and you would have a huge amount of space in the middle.
Extending tables combat this issue allowing you to have a smaller table for intimate dinners and larger for bigger party's. There are many different extending tables on the market of all shapes and sizes most with the extra leaf kept under the table so you don't have to store it else where.
However if you are thinking of using the table as more of an everyday kitchen table styles like the traditional refectory table are great because they can be bashed about or dressed up for dinner party's.
Oval is very nice. It allows you to squeeze people in on the corners without having the corner jutting into their tummy while they eat. If the room is high traffic, it also prevents people from bumping into the corners. I have a round table with three extensions. he table can go down to a nice size for 2 or expand up to a long oval for 8. Mostly I keep it with one extension in and seats 4 nicely with the option to squeeze in an extra one or two in a pinch. I use rectangle table clothes which drape nicely over the curved edges.
