Our dining tables are the ultimate combination of strength and beauty, created with care and quality in mind. We've pulled out all the stops to make sure they pass the toughest tests, so you can cherish them for years to come.
Why settle for anything less than the real deal? At Style My Home, we get excited about crafting dining tables from real timber! Unlike veneer, our tables withstand the test of time by expanding and contracting naturally with humidity changes. And the secret ingredient? The thickness of the timber! When it comes to the tabletop, it's crucial to get the thickness right. We have worked hard with our factory to conduct tests to determine how different thicknesses affect the durability of the wood and its resistance to cracking and warping. Now with this in mind, our stunning dining tables are crafted to perfection, so every inch of your table is sturdy, reliable, and always ready for a feast.
We use American Oak sourced from America.
The process behind crafting our dining tables:
Preparing Timber For Factory Use
Before arriving at the factory, the timber is cut and graded at a sawmill, then it undergoes a thorough drying process to reduce moisture content. Upon arrival, it is in plank form and is then machine-cut to the intended size.
Creating a durable table top
Our legs, surrounds and beams are made from solid American Oak. For our table top, to ensure structural stability and support, a single layer of timber joinery is glued onto a large sheet of plywood. Plywood is used instead of timber as the likelihood of timber cracking or warping is higher. After assembly, the table top is placed in a compactor machine for 24 hours to apply pressure while the glue dries, ensuring its durability. The thickness of the parquetry timber on the table has been calculated to ensure maximum durability.
Varnish
This process involves applying three coats of seal by a skilled artisan.
Crafting sturdy pedestal legs
For the construction of pedestal legs, thick pieces of timber are shaped by a machine and then bonded together with glue. The sanding and finishing touches are added by skilled artisan ensuring quality and attention to detail to each piece.
At Style My Home, we believe that the dining table is the heart of the home - it's where we gather with family and friends to share meals, stories, and memories. That's why we're passionate about crafting tables that are not just beautiful, but also functional and durable.

FAQs
Are the dining tables made from real timber?
Yes, all of our dining tables are made from real oak, not veneer. Most tables in the Australian market place have a veneer top. We use high-quality American oak, known for its natural grain, durability, and timeless character. Unlike veneer tables, real timber can age gracefully and stand up to everyday use in busy homes.
How do I choose the right size dining table for my space?
Measure your dining area and leave enough room (at least 90 cm or so) around the table for chairs to pull out and for people to walk behind them. The table should accommodate the number of people you regularly host, but also consider your room's shape, for example, a rectangular table suits longer rooms, while a round table can fit better in a square or cozier space.
Is a round dining table better than a rectangular one?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, each shape has its advantages. Round tables are wonderful for small spaces and create an intimate setting where everyone can easily converse, since there’s no head of the table. Rectangular tables are ideal for larger rooms and bigger gatherings, offering a classic look and often seating more people along their length (especially if extendable leaves are an option).
What makes a Hamptons-style dining table different?
A Hamptons dining table features timeless design elements like clean lines, neutral finishes, and quality natural materials. Ours are crafted from solid American oak, with durable finishes that suit coastal, classic, and country interiors. They're designed to blend beautifully with light-filled, relaxed spaces.
What is the best material for a dining table?
It depends on your priorities. Solid hardwoods (like oak, walnut, or ash) are classic, sturdy, and long-lasting, bringing warmth and character to the room. Glass-topped tables make a space feel more open and are easy to wipe clean, while stone or marble surfaces add a luxe touch but are quite heavy and may need more care. Modern engineered wood or high-quality veneer tables balance durability with affordability, the key is to choose a material that fits your style and is practical for your household (for instance, something scratch-resistant and easy to maintain if you have young children).
How do I care for my dining table?
Our dining tables have a durable, sealed finish that protects against everyday spills. Simply:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth
- Avoid harsh cleaners or excess moisture
The oak finish is designed to age beautifully with regular care.
