Ceramic oval dining table 240x120 cm – Large, scratch-resistant & timeless
Ceramic Oval Dining Table 240x120 cm — Large, Scratch-Resistant & Timeless
A ceramic oval dining table measuring 240×120 cm is the ideal table for large families or anyone who loves to entertain guests. The ceramic tabletop is completely scratch-resistant, heat-resistant up to 200 °C, and impervious to stains from red wine, coffee, and olive oil. A dining table doesn't get more practical than this—yet, thanks to its deep luster or matte finish, ceramic still looks luxurious and timeless.
The 240×120 cm dimension is deliberately generous: the long sides (240 cm) comfortably accommodate 3 chairs per side, plus 1 at each end. In total, it seats 8 people permanently, or 10 for a party. The wide top (120 cm) ensures ample space between plates—no more crowding at the table. The oval shape eliminates the sharp corners of a rectangular table, which is not only more child-friendly but also makes the table appear lighter in the room.
At Industrial Home, 240×120 cm ceramic oval tables are available in the popular Danish oval shape—the Superellipse, where the short sides form a gentle curve—as well as in a fully oval design. You choose the base yourself: matte black steel for an industrial-modern character or solid oak legs for warmth and a Japandi atmosphere. Ceramic in travertine look or anthracite combines excellently with both styles and fits the Slow-Living trend of sustainable, easy-care materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can sit at a 240×120 cm ceramic oval table?
Standardly 8 people comfortably—3 on each long side and 1 at each end. For a party, 10 people can be seated by utilizing the wide side spaces. The wide 120 cm top provides everyone with ample elbow room.
Is a ceramic dining table heat-resistant?
Yes—ceramic is resistant to temperatures up to 200 °C. You can place a hot pan directly on the top. This is the biggest practical advantage of ceramic over wood or HPL Fenix (max. 60 °C).
How do I maintain a ceramic table?
Wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient. Ceramic is non-porous—red wine, coffee, and olive oil will not leave stains if wiped up. No annual oiling or special treatment is needed.
What is the difference between a Danish oval and a fully oval table?
A Danish oval table (Superellipse) has straight long sides with rounded short sides—offering more seating per cm of length. A fully oval table is curved on all sides—softer, but with slightly less capacity. Both are available in 240×120 cm.
How heavy is a 240 cm ceramic dining table?
A 240×120 cm ceramic top weighs approximately 80-120 kg, depending on its thickness (6-12 mm). Including the base, you'll be looking at 120-160 kg. Ceramic tables are always delivered and assembled by two people.
Can I combine the ceramic table with a wooden base?
Yes—the combination of a ceramic tabletop on solid oak legs is one of our most popular configurations. Ceramic provides functionality, while oak provides warmth. Perfect for a Japandi interior that combines travertine-look or anthracite ceramic with natural wood.
