Bespoke Dining Tables: What They Cost and Why They Last
A dining table is the centrepiece of the home. It gets used every day, it hosts the big occasions, and it often outlasts the house move that brought it in. A bespoke table is built around your room rather than squeezed into it, which is why so many UK homeowners choose one.
What shapes the price of a bespoke dining table
Bespoke pricing depends on a few clear choices:
- Size: The length and width you need for your room and the number of people you seat.
- Hardwood: Oak, ash, walnut and other hardwoods each differ in colour, grain and cost.
- Finish: The look and protection you want on the surface.
- Base style: A classic X-frame, chunky trestle legs or a live edge design with its own character.
Our Kitchen & Dining Collection is handcrafted to order from solid hardwood, with dining tables from £1,295. The final price depends on the size, timber and finish you choose.
Why bespoke furniture lasts
Mass-market tables are often built from veneers and engineered boards. A solid hardwood table is different. It is made from timber that can be sanded, refinished and repaired over the years, so it can be kept for decades rather than replaced.
Every piece is handcrafted in our UK workshop and built to last 20 years or more. We are proud of the process, from selecting the timber to the final finish, and we are happy to explain each step.
Choosing your timber
The timber you choose sets the character of the table:
- Oak is strong, widely loved and has a clear, open grain.
- Ash is lighter in colour with a bold, pronounced grain and a springy strength.
- Walnut is rich and deep in tone, suited to a more formal room.
Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk you through how each hardwood looks in your light and space.
Measuring your room
Before you order, measure carefully:
- Check the space the table will occupy, including walls, doorways and any units nearby.
- Leave enough room behind each chair so people can sit down and stand up comfortably.
- Decide how many people you need to seat most often, and consider a bench or extra chairs if you want flexibility.
If you are unsure, we will work through the dimensions with you before anything is made.
Ordering and what to expect
Your bespoke table starts with a conversation about your room, your timber and your size. We confirm the design, build it to order in our workshop, and deliver it when it is ready. Each stage is planned around your space, so there are no surprises when the table arrives.
