Buying a Dining Table
A dining table is the heart of the home. Where we gather together, memories are made and company enjoyed.
This is an investment piece of furniture that will grow with you and we have some tips for selecting the perfect dining table for your home.
Size
Buy the biggest dining table you can fit. Not only does it need to accommodate your growing family the dining table will also be a place to relax and can be a work space. We highly recommend a extendable dining table. This will cover you for growing families and all future events.
How to measure
A diner will need 60cm length on a dining table.
For example if you want to seat 8 guests at a rectangle dining table
3 x 60cm per person =180cm long plus 60 for the person at the end of the table = 240cm long or to be generous 270cm.
Be aware of variables such as the position of table legs, the size of dining chairs etc. We like to allow a metre around the dining table for comfortable pull back of chairs and passing traffic.
Table material
Dining tables are made of wood, metal, marble, glass, steel, concrete and porcelain. 
Consider carefully the type of median you wish to sit at and the advantage and disadvantages of this median. Our favorite is a wood dining table. Not only is it naturally beautiful, it wears well with time and gets better with age.
