Sizing a dining table for a Pickering home
Most rooms in Pickering fit a 72" × 36" or 84" × 38" top, but the number that actually matters is clearance: allow 36" between the table edge and the nearest wall or sideboard so a chair can pull out, and 24" of table edge per seat. Homes in Bay Ridges, Amberlea, Rougemount often ask us to trim width rather than length — a 78" × 34" top seats eight and still leaves a walkway. Because nothing is pre-built, your table is cut to the dimension your room needs rather than the nearest catalogue size.
Tops, thickness and grain patterns
Dining tops are built at 2" thick as standard, in strip plank, continuous, chevron or herringbone layups. Strip plank is the quietest and the most forgiving underfoot; chevron and herringbone read as the centrepiece of a room and add to the material and labour. All four are finished in a hardwax oil that can be spot-repaired at home instead of being refinished as a whole slab.
