Basics of Your Custom Order
Once you know that this type of table will fit your budget, the next step is to know the size, number of seats and types of table legs. Let us know what accompanying chairs or lighting fixtures you will use with the table.
Measure the room to ensure that you have enough space to comfortably sit the number of people you expect at the dining table. Allow for extra space so that chairs can be pulled out without running into walls or furnishings.
The number of seats should depend on the maximum number of people that you expect at the table. Usually, your family plus a couple of guests is a good estimate.
The types of table legs will reflect your home furniture and décor. You should choose legs that are practical for the table, showcase its beauty, and hold up over time.
And finally, the chairs you choose should match the table along with any lighting fixtures that may be present as well. The table brings the room together, so you should choose complimentary chairs and other items that will sit on the table.
Type & Thickness of our Timber Table Top Slabs
The appearance of the wood will depend on the type. For example, blue or red gum are generally smooth with no knots present. While other timbers will have knots and visible grains for a unique texture. The type of look you are going for will depend on the type of wood, so check out different timbers:
A thinner table will have a more rustic appearance while a table made with thicker slabs tends to be more modern. But appearances can vary with each table.
