Choosing a wooden dining table for your Indian home means balancing function, style, and longevity. First, assess the room size: rectangular tables maximize seats in longer spaces, whileround or square tables fit better in compact or square dining rooms. An extendable table offers flexibility for entertaining.
For a family of four, a standard table size is about 4–5 feet in length; for six to eight seats, opt for 6–8 feet. Be sure to leave at least 36 inches around the table for easy movement.
Finish determines both durability and design. Matte finishes hide scratches, while gloss adds luxeshine. Dark stains like walnut are timeless; lighter finishes suit airy, modern settings. Indian woods like sheesham, teak, and mango are preferred for durability. Quality joinery no visible nails, even seams signals solid craftsmanship.
Pair the table with matching or mix-and-match chairs and use eco-friendly finishes for a lasting, sustainable choice.
