Narrow Dining Tables Made From Solid Wood

When daydreaming of our perfect dining room table, our minds naturally highlight fun design elements like color, textiles, shapes, and decorative flourishes. However, arguably the most important element to consider is the dimensions of the table in comparison to the room itself. Furnishing a particularly skinny dining space can narrow your choices.

Narrow Dining Tables Made From Solid Wood

To help, we chose some of our favorite dining tables that are available with widths of 36” or narrower. Keep in mind, almost all of our furniture is made-to-order, enabling you to choose from multiple hardwoods, stains, and sets of dimensions.

Tips for Furnishing a Narrow Dining Room

Before we dive into narrow dining tables, we wanted to equip you with additional tips for furnishing skinnier rooms, including:

  • Choose seats that fit almost entirely underneath the table top rather than sticking out. This qualification is particularly true of solid wood dining benches and most bar stools. On the other hand, some dining chairs with arms may stick out more than they would otherwise, lessening the amount of walking space. Luckily Countryside Amish Furniture gives you the option to add or remove side-arms for many of our dining chairs. 

  • Look for tables with the option of attaching leaves to achieve additional length. Many of Countryside Amish Furniture’s tables give you the option of incorporating leaves into your final purchase. These valuable add-ons will let you better fill the room’s skinny dimensions while maintaining a narrow width. 

  • If you struggle to find a narrow wooden table with your preferred dimensions, consider placing two square tables adjacent to one another. This alternative solution is particularly popular for wooden pub tables. Create the fun informal atmosphere of an upscale bar by separating the tables and encouraging mingling, or combine them for a formal sitdown dinner.

For additional advice that can help determine the best-suited table for your home, we recommend reading How Much Does a Wooden Dining Table Cost and the Complete Guide to Dining Table Seating Capacity.
