Dining Table

WOOD DINING TABLE

Wood is the most popular choice for a dining table. Natural wood never goes out of fashion, and it works with any design style and interior decorating schemes. Solid wood adds warmth and brings a timeless appeal. Hardwood varieties like oak, birch, mahogany, walnut, maple, ash, and cherry are more stable, durable and expensive than their softwood and composite wood counterparts. Softwood options for a table include pine, cedar, fir, spruce, and larch. Hardwood and softwood have a lot of options for finishes, like staining and painting.




GLASS DINING TABLE

Glass table tops are very practical. Plus, they are elegant and brings a sleek and modern look to a dining room. Its frame can be made of wood, metal or stone, depending on your taste or your existing interior décor. It's perfect for those who need their room to appear more spacious. Also, a beautiful area rug and stylish chairs would be more appreciated with this type of table, since it will be visible. Glass tables are perfect for modern, high-tech, minimalist and Mediterranean style of home decors.




PLASTIC DINING TABLE

Plastic is the least expensive of all these options, making it the most affordable choice for anyone on a budget. It's lightweight, comfortable, easy to clean, water-resistant and comes in a variety of colors and styles. However, it lacks the elegance and charm of real wood, glass or stone, and cannot offer the same durability and lifespan.




GRANITE DINING TABLE

Granite is another material common in kitchen countertops but unusual for a dining table. This option is seen in traditionally styled homes or in contemporary open plan spaces. Typically, granite tables are custom-made to match the overall interior design scheme.

Granite is durable, resistant to bacteria and heat, and is also easy to clean. Like marble, it is porous, so it needs sealing and resealing to maintain its look. Also, it is expensive and too heavy to move, so it must only be considered if you are living in a house you would most likely live in for your lifetime.
