We think that investing in an oak dining table set is a great decision, but don’t just take our word for it. Let’s take a look at the main benefits of oak furniture and the factors you may want to consider before investing in your very own oak dining table set.
Built to last
Real oak wood furniture is more expensive than furniture made from cheaper wood such as pine. That being said, it will last you a lot longer making it a sensible long term investment. The sturdy nature of Oak makes it more difficult to move around, however that does make it a lot more resistant to general wear and tear. So much so in fact, that it is likely to stay in good condition long enough to be passed down from generation to generation. Known for being strong and durable, the weight bearing capacity of the wood makes it a popular choice for building the likes of wardrobes, bookcases and dining furniture sets.
Easy to maintain
When it comes to choosing a dining furniture set, it’s important to think about practicality. In spite of its premium quality, an oak dining table set is actually very easy to clean and maintain. Regular dusting will keep the oak healthy and you should also try to keep it away from damp areas and direct heat. Aware of the importance of functionality, many of our oak dining table sets, such as those found in the Modern Light Oak collection, feature a matt lacquer finish that adds another layer of protection and is easy to wipe clean.
