Extra Large Dining Tables

A large dining table is a fantastic feature, so make the most of it! For everyday use, a statement centrepiece, like a large bowl or sculptural vase, adds interest without overcrowding. Consider a table runner for added texture and colour. When entertaining, create a welcoming atmosphere with individual place settings. Use placemats and chargers to define each setting and prevent the table from looking bare. For special occasions, incorporate candles and flowers - varying heights adds visual appeal. Low arrangements are ideal for easy conversation. If your table extends, ensure there's enough space around it when fully extended and that your chosen decor works for both the smaller and larger size. Remember to keep the surface relatively clear for dining and easy access to serving dishes.

For a comfortable dining experience with an extra large table, allow at least 75cm between the table edge and walls or other furniture. This space gives guests ample room to move their chairs in and out without bumping into anything. For walkways behind diners, aim for 100-120cm to allow people to pass comfortably even when others are seated. Consider the size of your dining chairs as well, adding extra clearance if they are particularly wide or have arms. A larger space also enhances the sense of airiness and flow in the dining area.

Our extra large dining tables typically stand at a height of 75-76cm. This height is standard across most dining tables and allows for comfortable seating with standard dining chairs. Always check the product page for specific measurements and dimensions, as some products may differ.

Caring for your extra large dining table depends on its finish. For ceramic or marbled ceramic finishes, wipe up spills promptly with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive cleaners. These are resistant to scratches and heat, however do avoid placing extremely hot items like pots and pans directly on the surface. Tempered glass surfaces can be cleaned similarly, but use a glass cleaner for streak-free shine. Wood finishes benefit from regular dusting and occasional polishing with a wood-friendly product. Protect all surfaces from excessive moisture and avoid placing hot dishes directly on the table without a protective mat. For extending tables, ensure the mechanism is clean and free of debris for smooth operation. Check the specific care instructions for your table's materials as some may require special care.
