Premium hardwood furniture for every room

Solid oak furniture is made entirely from oak timber, giving genuine grain, weight, and durability that improves with age. Veneered furniture uses a thin layer of real wood over a manufactured board core - it can look similar but won't take repairs, refinishing or heavy wear as well as solid wood. If you want furniture that lasts for decades, solid oak or ash is the better investment.

Solid oak needs very little upkeep: dust regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid placing pieces in direct sunlight or next to radiators which can dry and crack the wood, and use a coaster or mat under hot or wet items. An occasional wipe with a food-safe wood oil or wax every 6-12 months keeps the grain looking its best.

As a guide, allow around 60cm of table length per seat. A 4-seater table is typically 120-150cm long, a 6-seater 160-200cm, and an 8-seater 220cm or more. Extending oak dining tables are a popular choice as they seat more guests when needed and fold back down for everyday use.

Both are strong, durable hardwoods. Oak has a warmer tone and prominent grain, and tends to darken slightly with age, while ash is typically lighter and pairs well with contemporary interiors. Both hold up well to daily use in beds, wardrobes and chests of drawers - the choice usually comes down to the finish you prefer.

Solid hardwood furniture is stronger, more repairable, and typically lasts significantly longer than flat-pack or MDF alternatives. Joints such as dovetails and mortise-and-tenon are more durable than screws and cam locks, and scratches or dents in solid wood can be sanded out and refinished - something you can't do with a laminated board.
