The dining table is the true heart of the home. It's where the family gathers for dinner, where the big conversations happen, and where birthdays, Christmas and Sunday roasts all play out. Choosing the right one is worth getting right. Our range runs from compact two-seaters for apartments to generous tables that seat eight or more, in materials from warm solid timber to cool marble and light-catching glass — something to suit every home and every gathering.
FAQs
Can dining tables and chairs be mixed and matched?
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.
Can I pick a specific delivery date for my dining table?
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.
Do glass dining tables scratch easily?
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.
Do the dining tables come fully assembled?
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.
How many people can fit at a 4, 6, or 8 seater table?
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.
How much space should be left around a dining table?
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.
What is the best shape for a dining table?
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.
What’s the difference between veneer and solid wood tables?
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.
Which dining tables finishes are easiest to clean and maintain?
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.
What size dining table do I need for a family of 4?
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.
Is a round or rectangular dining table better for a small room?
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.
What's the most durable material for a dining table in NZ?
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.
Do Urban Sales dining tables come with chairs included?
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.
