Herringbone Dining Table - Custom Chevron Pattern
Custom Chevron Dining Table
A chevron dining table, also known as a Hungarian point dining table, features a beautiful parquet pattern where wood segments meet in a V-shape at a central line. This creates a dynamic, luxurious pattern that is completely different from the classic herringbone. At Industrial Home, you can design your chevron dining table completely to your specifications. Solid wood is the material of the slow living movement: sustainable, artisanal, and timeless — the opposite of fast furniture.
What is the difference between chevron and herringbone?
Both patterns are artisanal wood patterns, but there is a clear difference:
- Chevron (Hungarian Point) - The wood segments meet in a V-shape at a point in the middle, fitting together seamlessly. The result is a sleek, geometric pattern.
- Herringbone - The wood segments are laid at right angles to each other in a zigzag pattern. The pieces do not meet at a point but form a herringbone effect.
Both patterns offer a luxurious, artisanal look - but the chevron has a slightly more elegant and structured appearance.
Materials
- Solid oak - The popular choice. The wood pattern looks beautiful in oak.
- Walnut - Darker and more luxurious, giving the chevron pattern extra depth.
- Light oak - Scandi-vibes with an airy feel.
Popular dimensions
A chevron dining table comes in many sizes: 180 x 90 cm is popular for 6 people, 220 x 100 cm for 8 people. You can set your desired size using the 3D configurator.

Frequently asked questions about chevron dining tables
Is a chevron dining table more expensive than a regular solid oak dining table?
A chevron dining table requires more craftsmanship to perfectly lay and join the pattern. As a result, it is slightly more expensive than a standard oak plank table. However, the investment is worth it - the pattern makes your table truly unique.
How do I maintain a solid oak chevron dining table?
Just like any solid oak dining table: oil regularly (1-2 times a year), wipe away moisture immediately, and never leave it in direct sunlight for extended periods. This will keep the wood pattern beautiful.

Frequently asked questions
What is a chevron pattern?
Planks that meet in a point motif where the points align exactly — a continuous V-pattern. More elegant and sleek than herringbone.
What is the difference between chevron and herringbone?
Herringbone: zigzag without sharp points. Chevron/Hungarian point: planks are cut at an angle so that points align exactly. Chevron looks sleeker.
Is a chevron table more expensive?
Yes — 20-40% more expensive than a comparable flat tabletop due to extra cutting and assembly work.
In which wood is the chevron pattern available?
Most popular in light oak. Walnut gives a dramatic dark effect.
How do I maintain a chevron oak tabletop?
The same as normal oak: oil 1-2 times a year. Pay extra attention to the joints — keep them well filled to prevent moisture penetration.
Which base suits this?
A sleek, simple base allows the pattern to dominate: slender steel legs or solid wooden straight legs.
