Beyond Meals: The Multifaceted Role of a Dining Table

Many people may not realize this, but a dining table is so much more than a place to have dining sessions. There are many other purposes that a table can facilitate; let’s talk about some of them.

• Focal Point of Your Dining Room: A table creates a border and defines the dining area. Without a table, in most cases, the space would feel eerily empty.

• Place for Families to Get Together: A table is a powerful object. When there are family gatherings, tables are the place to be to enjoy dinner, converse, and laugh together.

• Multifunctional Space: In addition to having meals, the table used for dining can also be used for game playing, doing homework, craft activities, or even for work from home purposes, depending on how large or small and how the chair is designed.

• A Reflection of Your Style: The table used for dining is an important piece of furniture as it integrates one’s personal touch and dictates the style in the dining room. With the ideal furniture, a timeless look is always available, whereas if a modern touch is preferred, a dining room’s furniture can also add to such an aesthetic.

• Adding Value to Your Home: An elegant dining table built with high-quality materials and great craftsmanship will always be a rare investment while expanding the overall worth of a property.

Exploring the Handicrafts Town Collection of Dining Tables:

Our selection is very appealing and targets different types of consumers. Let’s explore the range we have:

Materials and Styles

• Solid Wood: Timeless beauty and strength is what my solid wood dining table, which is composed of Sheesham (Indian Rosewood) or mango wood, offers. One can choose aesthetically pleasing finishes that fit your taste and style

• Metal and Wood: Such tables are wonderful for contemporary spaces as they have the warmth of wood and the sleekness of metal, which offers an industrial touch.

• Marble Tables: With marble being frequently viewed as a sophisticated and luxurious material, it’s no surprise that tables with marble tops come across as extremely elegant and timeless. They also fit great in formal dining rooms.

• Glass Tables: On the other end of the spectrum, glass top dining tables are also quite popular, as they add an airy feeling to the space and don’t restrict the beauty of the table base of the dining room to one area.

• Extendable Tables: If you live in a small apartment or require a table that can accommodate uncontrolled seating, extendable tables are the best option. When the need arises, more guests can be welcomed as they need.

Shapes and Sizes

• Round tables: Round tables encourage people to sit around them and are great for conversations. They blend perfectly in smaller formal and informal dining rooms.

• Rectangular tables: Rectangular tables are much more versatile and do not limit the number of people that can be seated. They are ideal for bigger families or multiple guests.

• Square tables: For breakfast nooks or smaller dining areas, square tables fit perfectly due to them being both space saving and stylish.

• Oval tables: Oval tables are a great addition to medium-sized dining areas as they combine the spaciousness of a rectangular table and some of the conversation-friendly characteristics of the round table.

Choosing the Perfect Dining Table

To find a suitable dining table, consider the following aspects while making your choice:

• Size and Scale: When selecting a table, you must ensure that it fits well in the dining area while also allowing enough space for people to move around the table and chairs. Furthermore, there needs to be enough distance for the chairs to be pulled back and moved around.

• Shape: Think about the shape of your room and the type of table you want to go for. For tighter spots, round or oval tables are quite ideal, but if space isn’t an issue, longer rectangular shaped tables will always be in style.

• Material and Durability: Go for a material that goes hand in hand with both your interior and your requirements. Solid wood has always been an attractive and sturdy option, while glass or marble tops offer a sophisticated, contemporary look. Also, think about how much use your dining table will see.

• Style: Select a dining table that suits your furniture and decor. Are you the kind who likes it simple, classy, and traditional, or are you used to more modern styles?

• Number of Seats: Get a table that will fit your household and the guests that you plan on hosting. Consider if you require an extendable table.

Caring for Your Handcrafted Dining Table:

In the hope that your handcrafted dining table will last a very long time, here are some easy care instructions.

• Use Placemats and Coasters: Make sure to always get placer mats and coasters so that the table does not get scratched, wet, or heated.

• Cleaning Routine: The surface of the table should be cleaned on a regular basis with a soft, damp cloth to avoid the buildup of dust and spillovers. Refrain from cleaning with heavy-duty chemicals or scrubbing solutions.

• Sun Exposure: Leaving the table in direct moonlight can deepen the long-term effect of the table's finish.

• Cleaning Products: For wooden tables, use a furniture polish or oil from time to time to protect the wood from getting dull. For marble or glass tops, use specific cleaning materials formulated for those materials.

• Climate: Try to keep the table indoors, as exposure to extreme dryness or humidity can lead to the deterioration of the wood or other materials.
