Acacia Dining Table - Robust Wood with Character
Acacia Dining Table — Living with Character
An acacia dining table is the most characterful of all solid wood dining tables. Acacia wood has a unique grain — full of movement, contrast, and warm gold and brown tones that no other wood possesses. Each plank is different, each table its own composition. Do you prefer sleek and timeless with the Arhus, extendable with the Extend, or monumentally large with the Arcadia or Sculpture? At Industrial Home, you'll find the acacia dining table that suits your life.
Our Acacia Dining Tables — From Compact to Monumental
Arhus Solid — the accessible entry-level model
The Arhus Solid is the most compact and affordable acacia dining table in our range. A sleek rectangular top of solid acacia wood on simple legs. Available in 150, 180 and 215 cm. Ideal as a first solid wood table.
Extend — acacia extendable dining table
The Extend is the only extendable acacia dining table in our range. From 175 cm to 275 cm — ideal if you normally dine with 6 but regularly host 10 guests.
Boomstam Spider — nature as a base
The Boomstam Spider tables combine a solid acacia wood top with an expressive spider-leg base. The grain and shape of the tree trunk are central — here the table is literally carved from nature.
Arcadia — the grand statement
The Arcadia is our most impressive acacia dining table. Its wide, thick top is cut from a single piece of exceptional quality acacia. Available in triangular shape (165 cm), rectangular 240 and 300 cm. A table for a lifetime.
Stam & Sculpture — extreme and unique
The Stam (300 cm) and Sculpture (244x165 cm) are the extremes of our range. The Stam is a long, powerful table that dominates an entire room. The Sculpture has a free, organic top shape that is more art object than piece of furniture.
Why Acacia Wood?
- Hardness — acacia scores 1,750 lbf on the Janka scale. Harder than oak (1,290) and mango wood (1,070). One of the hardest tropical woods for indoor use
- Unique grain — wavy, broad, and full of color contrast. Gold, brown, grey, and black in one top. No two tables are identical
- Durability — acacia grows quickly (10-15 years vs. 100 years for oak). It is sustainably harvested from certified forests
- Water resistance — acacia naturally contains more oil than oak, which makes it slightly moisture-resistant
- Patina — the table becomes more beautiful with age. Slight yellowing and use enrich its character

Maintenance of your Acacia Dining Table
- Daily: wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth — never spray wet
- Annually: treat with acacia oil, teak oil, or a neutral furniture oil — let soak for 30 minutes, blot excess oil
- Stains: blot immediately. Red wine or grease: immediately with cold water and mild soap
- Small scratches: sand in the direction of the grain with fine sandpaper (220-grit), then oil
- Checks (small cracks): small cracks due to moisture variations are normal — fill with wax, then oil

Buying advice: choosing the right dining table
| Number of people | Minimum length | Recommended length |
|---|---|---|
| 4 people | 140 cm | 160 cm |
| 6 people | 180 cm | 200 cm |
| 8 people | 220 cm | 240 cm |
| 10 people | 260 cm | 280-300 cm |
- Space around the table: allow at least 90 cm of free walking space on all sides — 75 cm is the absolute minimum.
- Standard table height: 75-78 cm. Combine with chairs that have a seat height of 43-47 cm.
- Width: at least 80 cm for comfortable seating opposite each other, 90-100 cm is ideal.
- Per person: allow 60-70 cm of table length per person — 70 cm provides elbow room.
Is an acacia dining table suitable for daily use?
Yes — acacia is actually one of the hardest woods for indoor use. Daily eating, working, and accidental bumps will not leave deep marks. Treat the table annually with oil for a fresh appearance.
What are the white or light spots on my new acacia table?
These are natural colour variations in the wood — the sapwood (outer growth rings) is lighter than the heartwood. Some tables show more contrast than others; this is not a defect but a characteristic of solid acacia.
Can I use an acacia dining table outdoors?
Not recommended for permanent outdoor use. For occasional use on a covered patio, it's possible, but treat it more frequently with outdoor furniture oil. For outdoor use, we recommend teak or coated metal.
How many people does the Arcadia 300 seat?
The Arcadia 300 generously seats 12 people: 4 on each long side and 2 at the ends. The ultimate table for dinner parties and large families.
Is the Extend acacia really extendable?
Yes — the Extend extends from 175 to 275 cm. That's an extra 100 cm in length, enough for 4 additional guests. The extension system is integrated into the tabletop.
