How do I protect an oak dining table?

Use placemats and coasters for daily protection. Apply quality furniture wax every few months. For extra protection, consider a glass top or table protector pad. Always wipe spills immediately with a soft cloth. Our tables come with durable finishes, but these simple steps keep them pristine for years.

Can an oak dining table be refinished?

Yes—this is one of oak's great advantages. Solid oak can be sanded and refinished if needed. Minor scratches often just add character, but deeper damage can be professionally restored. This is why oak tables are such good investments: they can be refreshed rather than replaced.

What size dining table do I need?

Allow 60cm width per person. For 4 people: 120cm minimum. For 6 people: 150cm x 90cm rectangular or 130cm diameter round. For 8 people: 180cm or larger. Our extending tables are perfect—compact for daily use but expand for guests. Allow 90cm clearance for chairs to be pulled out comfortably.

Why is oak furniture more expensive?

Oak trees grow slowly, taking decades to reach maturity. The wood is exceptionally dense, durable, and requires skilled craftsmanship to work with properly. You're paying for furniture that will serve multiple generations, not just a few years. We offer 0% finance to help spread the cost.
