Sized to the room and the family, not to a label
A dining table is sold as a six-seater or an eight-seater, which tells you almost nothing. Whether six people can actually eat at it depends on the width of the top, where the legs sit, and how much room there is behind the chairs when they are pushed back.
We build to your room. Send the dimensions and how many people you need to seat, and we will tell you honestly what the space will carry.
What actually matters, before the design does.
Allow roughly two feet of table edge per person and at least three feet of clear floor behind each chair. A table that fits the room with the chairs tucked in but blocks the doorway when someone stands up is the most common mistake in a dining room.
Corner legs are the strongest arrangement but they decide exactly where people can sit. A pedestal or trestle base frees the ends and lets you add a chair at a crowded meal. On a long table the question is where the support falls, not how it looks.
A dining top meets heat, water, oil and cutlery daily. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished when it is marked, which is the real argument for it. A veneered top cannot be sanded more than once, and never after a deep scratch.
A high-gloss polish looks best on the first day and shows every ring and fingerprint afterwards. A matte or satin finish is far more forgiving in a house that eats at the table every night. Choose for the way you live, not the way the showroom is lit.
Send the room dimensions and the number of people who sit down on an ordinary day, not a festival day. We will size it from there.
Every piece is built after you order it — your size, your wood, your finish.
Send a photograph and rough dimensions. We will come back with options and a price.
