How to choose a dining table for your home

Selecting the ideal dining table is an investment in creating lasting memories with family and friends. Whether you're after a sleek, formal table to impress guests or a smaller, practical option for everyday meals, it's important to ask a few questions:

What size dining table is best for my space?

When it comes to dining tables, there's no such thing as one-size-fits-all – your needs are as unique as your home and lifestyle. At Woods, we offer a range of sizes to suit every occasion, from cosy kitchen tables ideal for couples to spacious 4-seater tables for family meals and larger 6-seater options designed for entertaining. If you're looking to save space without compromising on room for guests, our extendable dining tables offer the perfect solution, providing extra room when you need it.

What height dining table is best for me?

Ensure your table is high enough for your dining chairs to be placed underneath, allowing enough leg room for you to sit comfortably underneath.

What are the different shapes available?

Think about the shape of your room and which table style will work best. At Woods, we offer a wide range of designs, from round dining tables to timeless rectangular options and sleek, contemporary oval shapes. Don’t forget to consider the table legs, too—the right choice ensures plenty of legroom and gives you the space to comfortably seat everyone you need.

What material dining table should I choose?

Our beautifully crafted dining tables are designed to elevate both your space and mealtimes. We offer a carefully selected range of materials, from premium woods like solid ash and oak dining tables to contemporary ceramic, metal, and glass designs, all boasting exquisite quality and style.

How much space do you need around a dining table?

We recommend leaving 90cm between the table edge and the wall or other furniture to create a spacious feel. This allows for enough room to pull out and tuck in your chair and to walk around people who are seated.

How to assemble your dining table

All our tables are designed for easy self-assembly, with clear, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process. For extra convenience, we also provide helpful assembly videos demonstrating how to build each dining table. If you’d prefer a hassle-free experience, we offer an assembly service at the checkout, where our expert team will handle the setup for you so you can enjoy your new table without any worry.
