Solid wood vs. manufactured wood tables

Solid wood tables have a reputation for being sturdy and looking elegant. However, solid wood can be quite heavy, and it's less budget-friendly. You may want to consider various manufactured wood tables. These are made from chipboard, plywood, fibreboard, or other processed woods, and they are then finished with a thin veneer or laminate made from an aesthetically pleasing wood.

Is there a difference between extension types?

Each extension style has its own advantages.

  • Traditional: This involves the ends sliding apart to make room for an extra place you put in the middle. This creates a sturdy table but often requires two people to insert the extra piece.
  • Butterfly leaf: The extra piece is stored in a compartment underneath and folds out when you slide the table ends apart. This table style is a little bulkier but makes it easier to store extra planks when not in use.
  • Drop leaf: The ends of these tables are collapsible, folding down when not in use. Drop leaf tables are easier to extend single-handedly, but the folded parts are very noticeable when not in use.
  • Stow leaf: An extra piece slides out from under the table and notches into the end. This style is convenient, but there are fewer supports on the table ends.
Explore a variety of table finishes

Many oval dining tables are made out of wood, but different wood types can bring a different vibe to your dining room. You can pick from rich mahogany, rustic pine, elegant teak, bold rosewood, and more. Some tables are also painted in different colours, which makes it easy to find a set that matches your interior décor.

How many chairs fit around an oval table?

Ideally, you should have at least 60 centimetres of space between each chair. Oval tables are a very efficient shape, so you can fit chairs along the sides and around the ends. Typically, a 180-centimetre table can fit six seats while a 220-centimetre table can hold eight seats. As you shop, remember to check the manufacturer's site for details. This can help you find a product's dimensions and figure out how many chairs can fit.
