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:

    Oak dining tables – made specifically from oak hardwood and often have a visible grain for a classic look. They’re very strong and durable.
      Reclaimed wood dining tables – made from recycled or repurposed wood, these dining tables are eco-friendly and add a rustic feel to your space. They also usually show natural knots and marks.
        Solid wood tables – solid wood dining tables can be made from different wood types (including oak, pine, and walnut) and are always made entirely from real wood.

7. How can I style a wooden dining table?

There are plenty of options when it comes to  styling your dining table. For table decoration ideas, try adding an eye-catching centrepiece such as a decorative bowl to draw attention to the middle of your table and add a touch of personality. You can also customise your seating to suit your preferences: wooden dining chairs can match your dining table for a cohesive look, while fabric dining chairs offer extra comfort.

8. How can I protect my wooden dining table from scratches?

To prevent your solid wood dining table from being scratched, take care to keep sharp objects away from your dining furniture, and avoid dragging any objects along its surfaces. You can also use coasters and placemats to protect against any stains and watermarks that your crockery may leave.

9. How can I clean my wooden dining table?

You can read our furniture care guides for tips on how to care for your wooden dining table and prolong its lifespan. To cover the cost of damage to your dining table, you can also buy a Barker and Stonehouse protection plan to keep your furniture in top condition for longer.
