Timber Types and What They Mean for Durability and Style
Solid timber is the most durable option as it can be sanded back and refinished if it gets marked over time, which gives it a practical longevity that engineered wood doesn't have. Rubberwood and acacia are two common choices in this price range; both are dense, stable hardwoods that hold up well under daily use. Engineered wood constructions use a real timber veneer over an MDF or particle board core, which keeps costs lower while still delivering a genuine timber look. These are fine for most households but aren't as forgiving if they're exposed to moisture. The finish matters as much as the timber itself. Lacquered surfaces are more water-resistant while oil finishes are easier to spot-treat but need re-oiling periodically.
How to Choose the Right Size Wood Dining Table for Your Room
The general rule is 60cm of table width per person for comfortable elbow room, and 75-80cm of table height for standard dining chairs. For room clearance, allow at least 90cm around all sides of the table so chairs pull out without hitting the wall. A 150cm rectangular table works well for six, while 180cm and above suits eight to ten. If you host occasionally but don't need the space every day, an extendable timber table is worth considering as it keeps the table footprint compact day-to-day without compromising on capacity when you need it. Pair with a marble dining table alternative if you're considering both materials before deciding.
