Over 100 different tables

Given its importance, it is not surprising we offer over 100 different tables. We have pine dining tables, dark wood dining tables and ash and oak dining tables.  Those seeking something a little different can even browse our selection of painted dining tables. So, whether choosing something such as the excellent value Derwen Oak table from ASL  we believe we can offer something to suit.

Origins of Dining Tables

The concept of a dining table was probably invented by the Romans.  Prior to this, and indeed in many cultures today, food would be eaten from plates and dishes whilst sitting on the floor.  As the habit of using a dining table might have been common practice amongst occupying Roman forces in Israel during the time of Christ, but not amongst the native population, this presumably makes Leonardo Da vinci's painting of the Last Supper technically inaccurate.  

It is ironic perhaps that, amongst Orthodox Jews, it became customary to bury the deceased head of the family in a coffin made from the wood of the dining table.  The reasoning was that this wood had more blessings said over it than wood simply taken from a timber yard.

Big or small tables, fixed top or extending

Here at Right Price Furniture, we offer dining tables for, hopefully, much happier occasions such big tables for dinners with families and friends, small tables for intimate dinners and cheerful painted tables for breakfasts.  In all cases we try to indicate whether the table has a fixed or extending top and to indicate the length (or is it width?) of the table when it is closed.  If you find a table that does not show the sizes, then please contact us and we will remedy the situation.

Table trivia
Amongst all the general trivia associated with dining tables, the record for the world’s longest dining table was set up in 1998 near Lisbon, Portugal and measured 5 kilometres (approximately 3 miles) long.  Few details of the table are available as the main focus of the event’s sponsor was to prove one litre of its washing up liquid could clean the plates of all 16,000 diners.  The dining table on board Nasser el-Rashid’s yacht Lady Moura, is an altogether more modest affair at just 18m (59 feet) long.  Dinner guests at the Saudi businessman’s table have included Sir Elton John and actor Jean-Claude Van Damme
