Custom Oak Dining Table | Solid Wood | Industrial Home

An oak dining table is more than just a piece of furniture — it's an investment that lasts for generations. The warm look of solid oak, the distinctive grain that is unique to every tabletop, and its robust sturdiness have made the oak dining table one of the most popular choices for Dutch dining rooms for decades. At Industrial Home, you can fully customize every oak dining table: from the exact dimensions to the desired finish and the base that suits your interior.

Why Solid Oak?

Solid oak is one of the most popular wood types for dining tables — and for good reason. This type of wood scores high on durability, ease of maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. A solid oak dining table becomes more beautiful with age: the wood grain becomes more prominent, and the surface develops a warm patina that gives the wood its unique character.

  • Durable: Oak is a hardwood that can withstand daily use and lasts for many years
  • Timeless: The warm, distinctive grain fits into modern, classic, and country interiors
  • Customizable: We produce tabletops from 120 cm to over 300 cm in length
  • Environmentally friendly: We exclusively work with certified oak from sustainable European forests
  • Restorable: Small scratches and stains can be easily sanded and re-oiled

Solid Oak vs. Oak Veneer — What's the Difference?

When choosing an oak dining table, you'll often encounter the distinction between solid oak and oak veneer. Both options have their own advantages:

Solid oak is solid, full wood from start to finish. The tabletop is entirely made of oak, making it easy to restore in case of damage by sanding and re-oiling. Solid oak is heavier, more stable, and has the most authentic appearance. It is the best choice for those who value authenticity and long-term durability.

Oak veneer consists of a core board (often MDF or particle board) with a thin layer of oak wood glued on top. Veneer tables are generally lower priced and more dimensionally stable (less susceptible to shrinkage or expansion). They look almost identical to solid oak but are less easily repaired in case of deep damage. At Industrial Home, our oak dining tables are made of solid oak as standard.

Finishes for the Oak Dining Table

The character of an oak dining table is partly determined by its finish. At Industrial Home, you can choose from the following options:

  • Natural oiled: The most authentic option — the wood retains its warm, light golden hue and the grain is fully showcased. Minimal maintenance: re-oil once a year.
  • Smoked oak: Through a smoking process, the wood acquires a dark, chocolate-brown tone. Tough, modern, and timeless. Combine with steel legs for an industrial look.
  • White oiled: The wood gets a light, Scandinavian look without losing its grain. Ideal for light, open interiors.
  • Stained: Available in various shades, from light grey to dark brown, for a personalized look.

Shapes of the Oak Dining Table

An oak dining table is available in various shapes. Choose the shape that best suits your space and lifestyle:

  • Rectangular: The classic choice — maximum seating for the available space
  • Oval: Soft curves, no sharp corners, ideal for families with children — see also our oval oak dining table
  • Round: Cozy and egalitarian — everyone sits 'at the head'
  • Organic: Live edge with natural sides for a unique, artisanal statement

Frequently Asked Questions about the Oak Dining Table

How long does an oak dining table last?
A well-maintained oak dining table lasts for decades — and sometimes generations. Solid oak is naturally hard and wear-resistant. With periodic maintenance (oiling, sanding small scratches), the table will look new for years. In many families, an oak table is passed down from parent to child.
How do I maintain an oak dining table?
Daily: wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid standing water on the surface. Annually: oil the tabletop with a suitable wood oil (e.g., Rubio Monocoat or Woca). Small scratches? Sand them away with fine sandpaper (240 grit) and then re-oil. Always use a coaster for hot pans.
Custom oak dining table — what is the price?
The price of a custom oak dining table at Industrial Home starts around €1,295 for an entry-level model. The price depends on the dimensions, the finish (natural, smoked, white oiled), and the chosen base. Customization generally falls within the same price range as standard sizes.
Oak dining table for 6 people — what size do I need?
For a comfortable oak dining table for 6 people, we recommend a minimum length of 160 cm and a width of 90 cm. If you want extra legroom or will be sitting at the head of the table, choose 180 × 90 cm. Allow at least 60 cm width per person.
Oak or walnut dining table — what do I choose?
Oak is warmer in tone, lighter in color, and slightly more affordable. Walnut is darker (chocolate brown), more luxurious, and ideal if you want a richer, more dramatic look. Oak fits into almost any interior; walnut makes a stronger design statement. Both wood types are extremely durable and long-lasting.
