The Best Farmhouse Dining Tables Perfect for Family Dinners (2024)

Our Top Picks

This table from Roundhill Furniture is a sturdy foundation for family dinners and game nights. We love the natural wood grain finish and the oak veneer, but just note that there will be some variation in the finish and grain of each product since this table is made of wood.

The x-shaped legs on both ends of the table are more durable than a pedestal table, so you don’t have to worry about pets or kids knocking this table over. Plus, it can seat up to six people so it’s perfect for families and large parties.

This table doesn’t come with chairs so you’ll need to purchase those separately in addition to any table decor you may want. In terms of assembly, the tools are included, but you’ll want to have two people available to put this together since it requires some heavy lifting and a bit of time.

For added protection, the table features a UV varnish so you can rest assured it’ll acquire less sun damage while remaining shiny and glossy.

You’ll need some additional tools for assembly that aren’t included in the initial purchase, but this table only requires a Phillips head screwdriver and a flat-head screwdriver, which most households have in a tool kit.

This table comes with the required assembly hardware, but we recommend having someone nearby to help with the individual parts that are heavy. Whether you have a family of four or six, this table can fit everyone comfortably, but it is slightly narrower than other options on our list.

If you're a fan of the distressed wood look, the Sand & Stable Brooksville Dining Table is a great option. Made from solid and engineered wood, we love the extra-distressed appearance of this table for households who lean into rustic style. To create the distressed look, the wood undergoes a scoring and rub-through that makes each table unique.

The base of the table has an open trestle design and x-shaped accents for extra interest and stability. On the table itself, there’s a white stripe down the middle to provide a contrast against the wood grain. Whether you’re looking to entertain some friends or have weekly family dinners, this 72-inch table can accommodate up to six people.

Keep in mind that this table pairs well with both chairs and benches, but those are not included in this purchase. Also, it’s not extendible like other tables in our list so you won’t be able to increase the surface area to fit more on top.

This table is available in three colors weathered gray, black-brown, and warm acacia so you can pick which one best suits your preferences. Keep in mind that no one table is alike so your table might look different from the image in the online listing. We also love this table’s larger size at 80 inches, seating up to six people and making it ideal for families and large gatherings.

Because of the raw edge on the table and the finish, you’ll want to keep it away from heating vents and radiators and refrain from using liquid and aerosol products on its surface. To clean, we recommend using a dry cloth to dust it off and clean up spills as soon as they occur to prevent unwanted damage.

As with many of the picks on our list, this table doesn’t come with benches or chairs so you will need to purchase those separately. Also, you can opt to have it professionally assembled, if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of handling heavy pieces.

You might notice that the wood develops some mineral deposits, knots, and seasonal splitting as a result of weather changes and environmental factors. That said, you’ll want to keep the table away from direct sunlight and monitor it.

If it gets dirty, you can simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. It’s also weather-resistant so it will stay in great condition all year round no matter the elements it's exposed to. However, we still recommend storing this table in a dry place or covering it during inclement weather.

Most farmhouse tables are on the larger side and can accommodate between six and eight people, however, this one is a bit on the smaller side and can comfortably fit four. There’s nothing wrong with a smaller table, but if you’re looking for one for many people, this one isn’t the ideal option.
