Ceramic Oval Dining Table 240x120 cm — Large, Scratch-Free & Timeless
Ceramic Oval Dining Table 240x120 cm — Large, Scratch-Free & Timeless
A ceramic oval dining table measuring 240×120 cm is the ideal table for large families or those who enjoy entertaining guests. The ceramic tabletop is completely scratch-free, heat-resistant up to 200°C, and resistant to stains from red wine, coffee, and olive oil. Dining tables don't get more practical than this — yet ceramic looks luxurious and timeless thanks to its deep gloss or matte finish.
The 240×120 cm size has been deliberately chosen to be large: 3 chairs fit comfortably on each long side (240 cm), plus 1 at each end. A total of 8 people permanently, 10 for a party. The wide top (120 cm) ensures ample space between plates — no more jostling 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 visually lighter in a space.
At Industrial Home, ceramic oval tables of 240×120 cm are available in the popular Danish oval shape — the superellipse where the short sides form a gentle arc — and 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 a travertine look or anthracite combines excellently with both styles and aligns with the slow living trend of durable, low-maintenance materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people fit at a 240×120 cm oval ceramic table?
Normally 8 people comfortably — 3 on each long side and 1 at each end. For a party, 10 people can fit by utilizing the wide side spaces. The wide 120 cm tabletop provides ample elbow room for everyone.
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 tabletop. 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 away. 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 — more seating capacity per cm of length. A fully oval table is curved on all sides — softer, but slightly less capacity. Both are available in 240×120 cm.
How heavy is a 240 cm ceramic dining table?
A ceramic tabletop of 240×120 cm weighs approximately 80-120 kg depending on the thickness (6-12 mm). Including the base, it comes to 120-160 kg. Ceramic tables are always delivered and installed 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 ordered configurations. Ceramic provides functionality, and oak provides warmth. Perfect for a Japandi interior that combines travertine-look or anthracite ceramic with natural wood.
