How to Shop for a Solid Wood Table

Bring beauty and functionality into your home with a solid wood table. Pottery Barn has a wide selection of tables crafted from solid wood, some of which are new arrivals. There are wood tables for the dining room, living room and bedroom in sizes ranging from small to large.

Choosing a Solid Wood Table

When shopping for a wood table, the first thing to consider is how you'll be using it. For family meals and entertaining, you'll need a wood dining table such as the Banks extending table. This elegant table comes in two sizes. When extended, the smaller size seats up to 10 people and the larger size seats up to 12. It's crafted from kiln-dried solid poplar with an alder veneer, and it has a hand-applied finish.

If you need an end table that can double as a bistro table, check out the Dawson pedestal end table. You can place it between two accent chairs or beside the sofa. Like the Banks dining table, this table is made from kiln-dried poplar. It has a weathered black finish for a rustic, slightly distressed appearance and comfortably seats two people.

Another versatile piece of furniture is the Sumatra nightstand. It can be placed beside the bed, or you could use it in the living room as a side table. It has sturdy hardwood construction and a rich mahogany finish. There are two bottom shelves and one drawer for ample storage.

No matter which one of the wood tables you choose, you'll love how sturdy and durable they are. Another advantage of owning a wood table is that it's classic enough to work with any design style. Even if you redecorate the room, your table will probably work well with the new furnishings.

Chairs and Table Accents

If you need seating for your wood table, Pottery Barn has accent chairs and dining chairs in a variety of styles. There are solid wood chairs to coordinate with your table, along with leather chairs that provide an elegant contrast. You'll also find armchairs that come in lots of different fabrics and colors. To accent your table, consider a table centerpiece, such as a sculpture or faux floral arrangement.

Shop the solid wood table selection at Pottery Barn to find the right piece for you. You may also want to take a look at some coordinating items. The Sumatra nightstand, for example, is part of a collection that also includes two beds and two dressers. Choosing pieces from the same collection is an easy way to give your home a put-together, professionally designed appearance.
