Custom Dining Tables

Tell the maker how many people you seat on a normal night and at holidays, and measure the room, leaving space to pull out chairs and walk behind them. Listings size tables by how many they seat, and leaves or an extension let one table cover both numbers. The maker can then size the top and place the legs or pedestal so chairs fit.

Yes. Listings include Dutch pull-out and draw-leaf extension tables, and round tables that take extra leaves on a split pedestal. Ask where the leaves are stored, how the extension works, and whether the legs or pedestal stay steady when the table is fully open.

Walnut, white oak, tiger maple, sipo mahogany, bubinga and reclaimed barnwood all appear here. A dining table takes daily wear, so ask the maker about hardness and finish as well as color. The Wood species guide for commissioning, on Maker Marketplace, compares common choices.

Listed prices for dining tables on Maker Marketplace have a median of about $3,400, and half of the listings fall between about $1,700 and $5,900. One in ten is priced above $9,700. A listing's price is a starting point; the maker's proposal prices your exact table. The guide What custom furniture actually costs covers prices across furniture types.

Each proposal states the maker's timeline before you pay a deposit. On Maker Marketplace, custom furniture and large pieces typically take four to twelve weeks to build, and shipping time comes on top. If you need the table for a holiday or a gathering, include the date in your request so proposals can be planned around it.
