How to Choose the Right Size Dining Table
Leave at least 90cm of clearance on all sides so chairs can pull out without hitting the wall. For two to four people, a table between 120cm and 150cm works well. For six or more, aim for at least 180cm. If space is tight, an extendable table lets you go small day to day and expand when you need to.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between sintered stone and wood dining tables?
Sintered stone resists heat, scratches, and stains and wipes clean easily. Wood feels warmer but needs more care. Both work well depending on your lifestyle and how you use the table.
How do I know what size dining table to get?
Leave at least 90cm of clearance on all sides. A 120cm to 150cm table suits two to four people. A 180cm or longer table suits six or more.
Is an extendable dining table worth it?
Yes, if your guest count changes often. It gives you a compact everyday size with room to expand when you need it.
What shape dining table works best for small spaces?
Round tables work well in small spaces. No corners, less visual weight, and everyone faces each other naturally.
How do I maintain a sintered stone dining table?
Wipe it down after meals with a damp cloth. Sintered stone resists heat, scratches, and stains so daily upkeep is simple.
How do I maintain a solid wood dining table?
Wipe spills quickly to avoid staining. Keep hot items off the surface unless the table is heat rated. Use a wood-friendly cleaner and re-oil periodically to keep the wood in good shape.
