Dining Tables

Yes — pairing a table with chairs in a different (but complementary) finish is a popular way to add character, as long as the colours or materials feel like they belong together. There's no rule that says they need to match exactly.

Delivery timing may vary by product, stock availability and location, so check the order information at checkout for the current estimated timeframe. If you need an item by a specific date, it's worth confirming delivery details before you order.

Glass can show fine scratches over time with everyday use, particularly from grit, cutlery or abrasive cleaning, though this varies by the type and thickness of glass used. Using placemats and a soft cloth for cleaning generally helps keep the surface looking its best.

Assembly requirements vary by product — some tables arrive fully assembled, while others need some at-home assembly such as attaching the legs. Check the individual product listing for specific assembly details.

These seat counts are a general guide to how many people the table is designed to comfortably fit, based on typical chair spacing. Actual comfort can vary depending on chair width and how much elbow room you prefer, so check the table's exact dimensions against your own chairs.

Clearance needs depend on the table, chair dimensions and surrounding walkways. Measure your room and compare the exact furniture dimensions so chairs can be used and people can move through the space comfortably.

It depends on your room and how you use it. Rectangular and round tables create different layouts and circulation patterns, so compare the exact dimensions, seating capacity and available space rather than assuming one shape is best.

Solidwood is timber all the way through, while a veneer table has a thin layer of real wood (or another finish) over an engineered core. Both can look similar and perform well day-to-day; check the individual product description for the exact construction and care recommendations.

Smooth, sealed finishes such as laminate, glass or lacquered surfaces are generally simple to wipe down, while raw or oiled timber can need a little more care to avoid marks. Check the product's care instructions, as this varies by material and finish.

For a household of four, check the seating capacity and exact dimensions listed for the individual table, then compare them with your chair width and dining area. The space required can vary by design and layout.

Round tables often suit a small or square room well, since there are no corners to navigate and it can make the space feel a little more open. That said, a narrower rectangular table can also work in a tight room — it really depends on the exact shape of your space.

Durability depends on the specific material, finish and how the table is used day-to-day, so it's hard to name one material as universally toughest. Check the individual product's material, finish and care information to understand how it will hold up in your home.

Some dining tables are sold as part of a package with matching chairs, while others are sold as the table only — check the individual product listing to confirm what's included. If you'd like a specific chair pairing, our dining chairs range can be browsed separately.
