How to Design a Custom Dining Table
If you’re designing a custom dining table, here are the decisions that matter most:
1. Size & Seating Capacity
Rule of thumb:
– 22–24” per person
– 36–42” table width for comfortable dining
2. Shape
Rectangle, round, or oval — each changes how people gather.
3. Wood Species
Walnut for luxury, oak for durability, cherry for warmth.
4. Base Style
Trestle, pedestal, four-leg — your room layout determines what works best.
5. Finish
Matte, satin, natural, stained — finishes set the tone of your space.
A dining table is where life happens. Make it right.
