Why Choose an Oak Dining Table?

Oak has been the preferred choice for quality furniture for centuries, and for good reason:

Exceptional Durability: Oak's natural density and strength make it resistant to daily wear and scratches.
Timeless Appeal: The distinctive grain patterns and warm honey tones complement any interior style, from traditional to contemporary.
Sustainable Choice: We source our oak from responsibly managed forests, making your purchase environmentally conscious.
Investment Value: Unlike mass-produced alternatives, solid oak furniture maintains its value and can become a cherished heirloom.

Expert Craftsmanship in Every Detail

What sets our oak dining tables apart is the exceptional attention to detail. Our master craftspeople employ traditional joinery techniques combined with modern precision to create furniture that's built to last.

FAQs on Oak Dining Tables

1. How do I care for my oak dining table?

Regular dusting with a soft cloth and occasional treatment with quality furniture wax is all that's needed to maintain your oak dining table's beautiful appearance. For daily cleaning, simply wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. We recommend using coasters and placemats to protect the surface from hot dishes and spills. With proper care, your solid wood dining table will retain its beauty for decades.

2. Are oak dining tables suitable for families with children?

Absolutely! Oak is one of the most family-friendly wood choices due to its natural hardness and durability. It withstands the rigours of family life better than softer woods or veneer furniture. Minor scratches can often be buffed out, and the natural patina that develops over years of use adds character rather than detracting from its beauty. Round oak dining tables are especially popular for families with young children as they have no sharp corners.

3. Can I mix an oak dining table with different chair styles?

Mixing and matching is a fantastic way to create a contemporary, personalised dining space. Oak's neutral, warm tones complement almost any chair style—from upholstered fabric chairs to industrial metal seating. Many of our customers pair their solid wood dining table with bench seating on one side and individual chairs on the other for a relaxed, modern look. Our design consultants can help you create a cohesive look that reflects your personal style.

4. What size oak dining table do I need?

Allow approximately 60cm of table width per person for comfortable dining. For a rectangular wood dining table, we recommend:

4 people: 120cm × 80cm
6 people: 150-180cm × 90cm
8 people: 180-220cm × 100cm

For round wood dining tables, we suggest:

4 people: 120cm diameter
6 people: 150cm diameter
8 people: 180cm diameter

Consider an extendable oak dining table if you occasionally need extra capacity for guests but don't want a large table dominating your space day-to-day.

5. What's the difference between solid oak and oak veneer dining tables?

Solid wood dining tables are crafted entirely from oak timber, offering superior durability, a premium feel, and the ability to be refinished multiple times over their lifespan. Oak veneer tables feature a thin layer of real oak bonded to an engineered wood core. While more affordable, they cannot be sanded and refinished. At FW Homestores, we specialise in genuine solid oak dining tables that represent true quality and long-term value.

6. How long will an oak dining table last?

With proper care, a quality solid wood extendable dining table from FW Homestores can last for generations. Unlike mass-produced furniture, our oak tables are built using traditional joinery techniques that ensure structural integrity for decades. Many of our customers consider their oak dining table an investment piece that will become a family heirloom.
