Dining Tables

Material

Different wood types complement different interior styles. For example, our bestseller wood for solid wood dining tables, American Black Walnut with its rich brown tones, is great for a walnut dining table that suits dark, grounding Wabi Sabi aesthetic while American Oak,  loved for its light natural tones, is perfect for an oak dining table that suits calm, minimalist Japandi spaces.

Shape

If you have a spacious home and love to entertain, long dining tables are perfect for hosting. For smaller spaces and cozy, intimate gatherings, round or oval dining tables are a beautiful choice to optimise seating space without taking up floor space. Design your own customised dining table with our bespoke services — from unique shapes and slimming or shortening your slab to adding connectors or extension leaves — all crafted by our skilled in-store craftsmen.

Size

Choosing the right dining table size can be tricky - comfort and ease of movement are key. A good rule of thumb is to allow about 0.6m per person. A table around 1.2m is good for a 4 seater dining table, a table around 1.8m is great for a 6 seater dining table and a table around 2.4m is perfect for a 8 seater dining table. For flexibility between intimate daily meals and space for entertaining in compact Singapore homes, choose an extendable dining table. Leave between 0.55m to 0.70m around the table for chairs to slide out freely and 0.50m to 0.60m for benches. For cozier spaces, dining sets with benches provide seating without crowding the room.

Solid wood slabs celebrate nature’s beauty with their organic grains and unique streaks. With proper care, they can be refinished, revealing their beauty time and time again. Unlike engineered wood, which shows scratches and stains more readily. While solid wood is sourced from trees and may respond to moisture by expanding or contracting, engineered wood made from fibers and chemicals, often offers greater stability in varying environments. 

At Grey & Sanders we take meticulous care in handling every slab, drying and treating it through multiple steps to ensure the wood is both stable and beautiful. For lasting beauty and warmth that only nature can provide, choose solid wood slabs that bring both character and natural luxury into your interiors.

Preserve the beauty of your wood dining table with simple care. Use coasters for hot or wet items and wipe off spills without delay. Use the Rubio Tannin Remover or Surface Care Spray to remove stains immediately. Regularly, wipe down your wood slab gently with a soft, damp cloth. Once a year, nourish the wood with the Rubio Wood Slab Care Kit to preserve its warmth and grain. 

When time leaves its trace, our onsite refinishing service can also restore your table’s natural luster — letting it age gracefully, yet beautifully. 

The longevity of solid wood in humid climates depends greatly on how well the wood is dried and treated. When moisture levels are carefully controlled, solid wood remains stable and endures beautifully — even in Singapore’s humidity.

At Grey & Sanders, we take meticulous care with every slab. Each piece undergoes a thoughtful, multi-step process — from precise drying to the final coat of Rubio Monocoat Oil — ensuring the wood’s stability, quality, and natural beauty for years to come. 

At Grey & Sanders, we embody a conscious way of living. We strive toward a zero-waste approach, ensuring every piece is thoughtfully crafted and given purpose beyond its first life. At our workshop, we can repurpose your solid wood dining tables into bespoke benches, shelves or other pieces that bring nature’s beauty into your home once more. 

If repurposing isn’t an option, our disposal service team can arrange a responsible and seamless disposal at $130 for large items. You may also contact your Town Council (for HDBs) or MCST (for condominiums), as they often provide free disposal services.
