Dining Tables

Dining tables are at the nucleus of comings and goings in a home – providing a place for a multitude of activities, eating just being one of them! There is a certain attraction to this multi-purpose piece of dining room furniture, a dining table is like the queen bee and we are the busy workers! Whether it’s a quiet place to study, a flat surface to organise the laundry, a game of monopoly, a family meeting in the kitchen or sharing a meal together, a dining table is always at the hub.

When considering what type of dining table will suit your home, there are a few important points to consider that will help you make the right choice. Firstly, how many people do you anticipate will be regularly using the dining table for mealtimes, this will ultimately determine the size of dining table you require. If you like to entertain you could consider an extending dining table these are great for offering a large pine table when needed, don’t forget the extra dining chairs though! Then consider the interior design and decor of the space; is it modern and relaxed, themed around a particular period or a timeless design – whichever it is, you will need to choose a table that complements the space. A Dining Set could be an easier option if you’re looking for new chairs as well, these dining tables and chairs have been specially put together for you... just add to basket!

Still chewing the cud? Here are some FAQ’s that may help you choose the right dining table...

1. What Dining Tables are suitable for a small room?

Round dining tables are a great option for smaller rooms, they have a small footprint and, thanks to their rounded shape, offer up better use of space than a square or rectangle table. And they are very social because everyone can be seen and conversations are therefore not limited to the guests directly in front of you. Also, because they don’t have sharp corners they are also a good choice for families with young children. Another option is a drop leaf dining table, pop it up when it’s needed then fold it out of the way when it’s not (just remember to clear the table first – unless you want some glass for your next mosaic project!).

2. Are Solid Wood Tables expensive?

You should aim to buy the best dining table that your budget will allow. Solid wood offers durability and a timeless look but can come at a higher price tag than other materials. Pine, Teak and Acacia wood are less expensive options, Oak is like the Ferrari of the wood world! If you have your heart set on a solid oak dining table, but the beans won’t stretch that far, we do offer a range of flexible finance options that can help you budget and spread the cost.

3. What is an Extending Dining Table?

Extending dining room tables are a genius invention and a must for anyone who loves to host dinner parties for family and friends. These versatile tables have the ability to seat large numbers when required, then can be made smaller for day to day life. So if you’re partial to a “partay” invest in an extending table, it'll be well worth it.
