dining table buying guide.

1. Why choose a wooden dining table?

Wooden dining tables are versatile, durable, and timeless in their visual appeal. They can be used in any number of designs, with their natural look complementing a range of styles. A large wooden table can help seat your whole family for mealtimes, while smaller choices can help to create the perfect couple's dining space.

2. Are solid wood dining tables a good choice?

In short, yes. Solid wood dining tables are a great choice for any kitchen or dining space. Not only are they durable with a timeless aesthetic, but they can withstand daily wear and tear and can often become more attractive with age – brown dining tables are the perfect example of this!

Solid wood dining tables are also highly versatile, fitting well in a range of different styles from modern designs to Scandi-style dining rooms. They can also be easily repaired if scratched, meaning they have a long lifespan. So, no matter what happens, you can rest assured you will enjoy your solid wood dining table for years to come!

3. What size wooden dining table do I need?

The size of wooden dining table you need depends on your dining space and your personal needs.

Larger dining rooms will have more wiggle room for a variety of sizes and styles of wooden kitchen tables, and you will be able to fit in 6-seaters for those lively gatherings and family nights. Sharp corners and edges are also more suitable for larger dining spaces as there will be more room to manoeuvre about without bumping into their sides.

For those working with a smaller space, there’s no need to fret! There are still loads of options available - you may just need to be a bit smarter with your choices. Picking shapes like round wooden dining tables will take away any sharp edges and keep the dining space feeling open and airy. You can also try using a wooden extending dining table, as these can be easily adjusted to fit a range of different guests.

4. Are wooden dining tables suitable for kitchens?

Wooden dining tables work exceptionally well in kitchens, especially when they’re made from sturdy materials like oak. Oak dining tables are such a popular choice as they add warmth and a natural feel to your space, which in turn makes it a more inviting place to welcome guests and dine with loved ones.

The only thing you need to be careful of is that, due to kitchens being an often humid and messy place (especially if you have younger kids), wooden dining tables in the kitchen will need a little more care to keep them in top form. Simple steps like wiping up spillages immediately should be enough. We have a dining furniture care guide for you to take a look at if you want some more advice on maintaining your wooden kitchen table.

5. What is the best wooden kitchen table for everyday use?

For everyday use, you need a wooden kitchen table that can withstand wear and tear and constant use. The best option is solid hardwood like oak or walnut, as these are highly durable and resistant to dents.

You will also want a table with a protective finish, and a simple, sturdy design, as these are much easier to clean and maintain daily. A slightly distressed finish will also help hide small scratches, making it the perfect choice for frequent use in a busy kitchen.

6. What is the difference between oak, reclaimed and solid wood dining tables?

The main difference between these three materials comes down to the source, appearance, and durability:
