Finding Your Perfect Fixed Top Dining Table
When selecting your fixed top dining table, consider these key factors:
Size and Space
Before falling in love with a particular fixed top dining table with chairs, measure your space carefully. We recommend allowing at least 75cm between your table edge and walls or furniture to ensure comfortable movement. Round dining tables work beautifully in smaller spaces or square rooms, while rectangular designs maximize seating in longer dining areas.
Material Matters
Our fixed top dining tables offer unmatched durability and character. Each timber type brings its own aesthetic:
-
Oak: Timeless grain patterns with excellent durability
-
Mango wood: Distinctive markings and sustainability credentials
-
Walnut: Rich, dark tones that add sophistication

Fixed top dining tables create dramatic, cosy dining spaces, while lighter finishes brighten rooms and showcase contemporary styling.

2. How do I care for my solid wood extendable dining table?
Though our focus is fixed top designs, all wood dining tables benefit from similar care: clean with a slightly damp cloth, avoid direct sunlight, use coasters for hot items, and apply furniture wax twice yearly to maintain the finish.

3. Can I mix wood dining table legs with different chair styles?
Absolutely! Our filing cabinet short designs are specifically engineered for under-desk placement. These compact units typically measure between 20-24 inches in height, sliding comfortably beneath standard desk surfaces whilst providing substantial storage capacity. This configuration maximises floor space efficiency, particularly valuable in smaller home offices or shared workspaces. Short filing cabinets maintain full-width drawer dimensions, so you don't sacrifice storage capacity for the reduced height. Many customers find this arrangement incredibly convenient, keeping frequently accessed files within arm's reach whilst maintaining a clean, uncluttered workspace appearance. The small filing cabinet footprint combined with under-desk positioning creates an optimal home filing cabinet solution for space-conscious environments.
4. Are 2 drawer file cabinets sufficient for a small office?
4. Are 2 drawer file cabinets sufficient for a small office?
For most small office applications, a file cabinet with 2 drawers provides ample storage capacity. These 2 drawer filing cabinet designs typically accommodate 200-300 hanging files, depending on document thickness and filing density. This capacity easily handles the paperwork requirements of sole traders, small partnerships, or home-based businesses. The dual-drawer configuration allows logical document segregation – perhaps current year files in the top drawer and archives below, or client files separated from administrative documents. If your business generates substantial paperwork or you're planning significant growth, consider starting with a 2-drawer unit and adding additional file cabinet units as needed. This modular approach offers flexibility whilst maintaining manageable individual unit sizes.
5. How do I keep my filing cabinet secure?
5. How do I keep my filing cabinet secure?
Security options vary significantly across our range, from basic organisation to high-security configurations. Most wooden filing cabinets feature traditional lock-and-key systems, adequate for general document protection and privacy. Metal filing cabinets often provide enhanced security with reinforced locking mechanisms, anti-tip features, and some models include combination locks for keyless convenience. For maximum security, consider units with central locking systems that secure all drawers simultaneously with a single key or combination. Position your filing cabinet in low-traffic areas and ensure valuable documents are stored in locked compartments. Regular maintenance of locking mechanisms ensures continued reliability and security over years of use.
