Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Dining Tables
What size dining table do I need?
Allow 60cm per person for comfortable seating. A 120cm table seats four, 140-160cm seats six, and 180cm+ seats eight. Don't forget to leave 75cm around the table so people can get chairs in and out easily.
Are round or rectangular tables better?
Round tables are brilliant for conversation and work well in smaller spaces. Rectangular tables seat more people and fit better in most dining rooms. It depends on your space and how you use it.
Do extendable tables stay stable?
The decent ones do. Look for proper extension mechanisms rather than cheap sliding systems. Our extendable tables use quality hardware that locks securely and doesn't sag when extended.
What's the difference between dining tables and kitchen tables?
Not much really. Kitchen tables tend to be smaller and built for daily use rather than formal dining. Dining tables might be a bit more elegant, but both need to handle family life.
Will wooden dining tables mark easily?
Good quality wooden tables with proper finishes are quite resilient. They handle hot plates, spilled drinks, and normal family use without major damage. Minor marks add character rather than looking like damage.
How do I know if a table will fit through my door?
Check the dimensions against your doorways, including any tight corners or stairs. Most tables are designed to fit through standard doors, but larger ones might need the legs removing temporarily. We list all dimensions clearly.
Do I need to treat wooden tables specially?
Not really. Wipe up spills promptly, use placemats for hot dishes, and give them an occasional polish if you want. They're built for daily use, not museum pieces that need constant care.
What's delivery like for dining tables?
Free delivery to UK mainland addresses within 3-5 working days. Larger tables might take an extra day or two. We'll keep you updated with tracking information and let you know if we need help getting it into your home.
