Does your home need a custom dining table? Okay, maybe “need” is too strong of a word. No one actually needs a custom dining table, but certainly, some homes can benefit from one more than others.
Here are three reasons why you might want to consider a custom dining table for your home in Temecula, Murrieta, or Menifee, rather than purchasing one from a local furniture store or an online shop:
You Have an Unusually Sized Dining Room
Not every home in Temecula, Murrieta, and Menifee has a dedicated dining room—some newer homes have a wide-open great room—but in those that do, the space may require a table of a certain size or shape. Maybe your dining room is long and narrow, or exceptionally large, or smaller than average. Finding a table to fit an odd space can be a challenge.
By working with a custom furniture maker, you can have a table designed and built in any size you want. It could be a cozy, round table that seats four, or a long, rectangular table that can accommodate your entire extended family!
You Have a Unique Style or Specific Details in Mind
Mass-produced furniture—the kind you find in furniture stores—is built to appeal to the masses. The styles of the dining tables in stores tend to be either basic or trendy. But what if you don’t want either? What if your home has a style that isn’t cookie cutter or one that embraces whatever the current trend is? You will likely have a hard time finding a dining table to meet your needs.
A custom dining table can be designed to include any and all details that will make it unique to you. You can choose a species of rare or exotic wood for your table and have a custom stain created to make it the exact color you want. The base of your table can be a pedestal, a trestle-style base, or have four legs.
It is helpful if you come to your custom furniture maker with some ideas in mind. Pictures can be especially helpful. For example, if you have photos of multiple table, each of which has a certain element that you like, bring those to your custom furniture maker so he or she can combine those elements into one great table!
You Want a High-Quality Table
Many of the dining tables sold in furniture stores are not necessarily high-quality. They are often hastily produced in factories using sub-par materials, hardware, and construction methods. They may look good for a little while, but will start to show wear after only minimal use.
On the other hand, when you find a reputable custom furniture maker, you will get a much higher quality product. It will likely be made from solid wood and built to last. And because it’s made from solid wood, if it does ever get scratched, it can be refinished to look good as new.
You should plan to pay more for a custom dining table than you might if you purchase one from a retail furniture store, but the quality of the product is almost certain to be far superior!
