Live Edge Dining Table — Nature in its Purest Form
A live edge dining table is the most direct connection between nature and interior design. The tabletop is cut from a solid tree, preserving its natural edge — the live edge. No clean-cut straight edge, but the organic edge determined by the tree itself. This makes every live edge dining table absolutely unique: no two pieces are the same, no two patterns identical. At Industrial Home, live edge dining tables are available in solid acacia wood. This fits perfectly with the current Japandi, wabi-sabi, and slow living trends that dominate today's Dutch interiors.
Our Live Edge Dining Tables
Spider — the expressive duo
The Spider live edge dining tables combine a live edge acacia top with a spider leg base in black steel. As the name suggests, the legs branch out like a spider. Available in 200 and 240 cm.
Live Edge — oak with live edge
The live edge dining tables combine solid oak wood with a live edge. Available with a T-base in steel or a V-base in oak.

Live Edge: What Makes it Special?
- No two tables identical — the edge of the tree is never straight and never the same
- Pores and grain — the live edge shows the full width of the grain, including pores, knots, and color variations
- The bark as a boundary — on some models, the bark is partially preserved as a decorative element
- Character that grows — a live edge dining table develops a richer patina through use and light
- Conversation starter — no one passes a live edge dining table without asking about it
Which Wood for a Live Edge Dining Table?
Acacia — the most characterful
Acacia wood has a broad, wavy grain with strong color contrasts — gold, brown, grey, and black in one slab. The Spider models are made of acacia.
Oak — timeless and refined
Oak has a finer grain than acacia and a warmer, more neutral color. The live edge dining tables are made of solid oak — perfect for those who want the live edge with a calmer wood pattern.
How Many People at a Live Edge Dining Table?
Most live edge dining tables are large — 200 cm and more. This is deliberate: the material requires space.
| Model | Length | People | Space needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spider 200 | 200 cm | 6-8 | min. 350×310 cm |
| Spider 240 | 240 cm | 8-10 | min. 390×310 cm |
| Live Edge 180+ | Variable | 6-10 | min. 330×310 cm |

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 clear 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 every live edge dining table different?
Yes, absolutely. Even if two tables are the same model and size, the grain, color, and live edge will always differ. That is the essence of a live edge dining table.
How do I maintain a live edge dining table?
Treat annually with acacia oil or furniture oil. Dab stains immediately. Small cracks (checks) that arise due to moisture variations are normal for solid wood — seal with wax and oil.
Does a live edge dining table fit a modern interior?
Yes. The combination of raw, organic wood with a sleek black steel base (Spider) is a characteristic of industrial-modern interiors. Contrast works.
Can I sand or process the live edge?
We advise against it — the live edge is the most valuable part of the top. Sanding or finishing reduces its character. A little roughness is actually desirable.
Is the live edge dining table extendable?
No — a live edge top is not extendable due to its organic edge. Choose a larger size if you frequently expect guests.
