Whichever you select, with the right kind of care, your solid wood dining table can last a lifetime or even several. Part of the reason for this durability is the strength that comes from mother nature growing what will eventually be shaped into your dining table. Gluing together strips of wood or binding together wood fibres can’t provide as robust a result.

What’s more, should your solid wood dining table get damaged, whether from scratches and dents or water damage, it can easily be repaired by taking advantage of the wood’s natural properties.

What can you do to make your solid wood dining table last?

Here are a few tips to help your solid wood dining table look its best as the years roll by:

Day-to-day care

  • Dust your dining table with a soft, dry cloth.
  • If dirt builds up, remove it with a slightly damp cloth and then buff with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Wipe up any spills as soon as you can.

Long-term care

  • Only use furniture polish that is specifically designed for solid wood, though you won’t need to do this so often with Oak Furniture UK pieces as we finish our dining tables with wax or lacquer.
  • Apply a new wax coating once or twice a year, depending on how often you use your dining table.
  • When placing your dining table, avoid areas with direct exposure to sunlight as this can bleach the wood and don’t put it too close to radiators, heating ducts or fireplaces.

Follow these straightforward tips and your solid wood dining table will become a part of your home’s history. Browse our extensive collection today to find the one that suits you.
