Getting A Dining Table For Your Cork Home
Welcome to Home Street Home - Cork
The dining room table has done double duty, handling meals, entertaining and baking.
The best dining tables will be well-made and affordable.
Once you have covered the basics, it’s about finding a statement piece to add flair, personality, and character.
A salvaged wood dining room table can help you check all of these boxes.
Let’s now look at what factors you need to take into consideration when selecting the perfect salvaged table for your home.
Types of Dining Tables We Deliver All Over Ireland
The dining room table should be large enough for your kitchen or dining space. A salvaged piece of furniture can look huge, so it is important to consider the space surrounding it.
To comfortably get in and out of a chair and walk around the table, a decent rule of thumb is 90cm/3 feet of breathing area on all sides; the more, the better.
Measure the space to accommodate the dining room table. To acquire a target dining table length and width, subtract 1.8 m from those two numbers.
Oh, the pines, teaks, mahoganys, walnuts, and oaks!
The wood species of your dining room table is important because there are so much different wood tones.
For a more traditional appearance, match the table’s species of wood to any existing wood in your house, such wood flooring or cabinets.
For a more modern look, mix wood species from different countries.
If you care less about aesthetics, consider tone, grain, as well as the wood species’ endurance.
Check the Janka Hardness Chart for a recommendation on how long the wood should be if your table will be exposed to heavy wear.
A higher number on the scale means that the wood is more durable and is less likely to be scratched.
Most recycled dining tables, on the other hand, have already seen some wear and tear, which leads us to the following criterion.
Reclaimed dining tables can tell a story which makes them unique.
This is also known as “character element”.
Reclaimed wood tables have a variety of character features, including natural knots and old nail holes, indentations and exposed seams.
Make sure to include character elements when choosing a table made from recovered wood.
To achieve an even, smooth surface on the tabletop, it is crucial to have the furniture restorer of high quality.
Character elements should shine without having any uneven edges or regions.
Customer Testimonials
Before you buy, make sure that the tabletop has been finished.
Not only is the finish important for its aesthetics, but also because it affects its durability, workability, and reparability.
An unfinished surface, which hasn’t had any wax, epoxy, or polyurethane added to it, has an authentic industrial appearance but gives very little protection.
A finish does not have to be high-gloss in order to protect from spills and stains.

Make sure to check the tabletop before you buy.
The finish is more than just its appearance. It also affects durability, reparability, and its workability.
An unfinished surface has no wax, epoxy, or polyurethane applied to it. However, it has an industrial appearance and provides very little protection.
You don’t have to use a high gloss finish in order to protect your floors from spills or stains.
The table edge is rarely considered unless someone accidentally steps on or under it, while trying to reach something underneath.
After an injection of pain, we immediately see the importance of this detail.
The table edge is a design that speaks volumes about your table’s quality in terms of safety, appearance, and function.
The table edge adds interest to the design and elevates the aesthetic of a dining table.
It’s a minor element, yet it will catch the eye, stand out, and add to the overall beauty of the piece.
Reclaimed wood tables’ edges can be straight or rounded. They may also have a live edge or metal/rubber edging. However, they are possible to be more ornate.
Metal edging adds to the industrial look of a home.
A straight or rounded edge can help maintain the table’s minimalist decor options and keep it looking clean.
You can change the look of the table by using metal or wooden bases.
The steel base adds an industrial touch, while a wooden base keeps the table looking shabby chic while keeping it true to its age.
Think about the base’s design and aesthetic.
Make sure your seats are properly fitted by paying attention to where your legs meet with the top.
The supports must not block the leg space.
The base can often be used to limit the number and size of people who can occupy a table.
Your maneuvering space can be limited by the apron (the structure that supports the top of the tabletop).
You can seat more people at the table by using a pedestal or trestle base.
Trestle bases offer more flexibility on the table’s sides but limit the room at the table’s end.
Be sure to leave enough clearance between your knees and the trestle support.
Despite its popularity, most people consider recovered furniture to be a secondhand item rather than an heirloom.
Reclaimed wood dining tables offer a sense of self-expression into a home with its rustic, aged, and age-old beauty.
It is possible to mix and match reclaimed furniture’s unique appeal with many design styles such as Tuscan, farmhouse and bohemian.
A reclaimed wood table can be used to create a space in which your imagination and modernism meet to make a space that reflects you.
