How to Recognize an Oak Dining Table

Identifying an oak dining table is fairly straightforward. Generally speaking most wooden dining tables will either be oak or walnut! So if the table is of a light wood shade, it’s most likely to be oak.

We love to use oak dining tables in our client’s homes because its a durable material suitable for most family homes. With a variety of shades / stains, shapes, sizes, and base designs, an oak dining table is a timeless addition to any dining room or kitchen area.

Dining Room Fun Facts:

The term “Dining Room” originates from the Ancient Greeks, while there is also recent evidence that suggests the first American home to have a dining room (a room specific for dining) dates back to 1772! Following this, having a dining room was reserved for the wealthy.

Nowadays, the dining room is used by all the family and is an integral part of any home! We all use our dining rooms differently, and it’s not necessarily exclusive for dining. We eat, work, and even socialize in the dining room! However the concept of the dining room still remains – a large table sits in the center of the room, with chairs surrounding it.
