Frequently asked questions about solid wood rectangular tables
Why is the rectangular table still the most popular choice?
Because it's efficient: it makes the most of the elongated spaces typical of dining rooms, seats the maximum number of diners per meter of wall, and accommodates a side bench like no other shape. The rectangular solid wood version also best showcases the continuous grain of the oak along the tabletop: function and presence in the same piece. The oak we use is solid, FSC-certified, and manufactured in Europe.
What dimensions of rectangular table do I need?
The 60 cm per person rule: 120 x 80 cm for 4, 160 to 180 cm long for 6, and 200 cm or more for 8. A width of 80 to 100 cm allows for cutlery facing each other plus the center of the table. Leave 80 cm of clearance around the sides in use and mark the footprint on the floor before deciding. We expand on measurements and proportions for the rectangular dining table .
How do you maintain a rectangular solid oak table?
Wipe with a well-wrung damp cloth after meals and dry immediately. Use a trivet under heat and apply natural oil once or twice a year, following the grain. The edges and corners, the areas of greatest wear on rectangular pieces, benefit from an extra coat of oil during each maintenance.
Which chairs go with a rectangular table?
All the options work: a complete, uniform set for the classic dining room, distinct headboards to create a hierarchy, or a controlled mix with wood as the common thread. Our oak dining chairs cover all three options, keeping the material consistent with the tabletop.
How to make the most of the long side of a rectangular table?
With a bench: this is the combination that the rectangular shape allows best. The bench tucks under the tabletop when not in use, adding flexible seating and lightening the overall look. Benches with storage also provide extra space for table linens.
