Sintered Stone Dining Tables

A dining table gets used more than almost any other piece of furniture in the home. Hot dishes, spilled wine, homework, craft glue and the odd dropped fork all end up on it. That's why so many people choose a sintered stone dining table: you get the look of natural stone on a surface that's built for everyday family life.

Our stone top dining tables come in white Carrara-style, warm Pandora brown and soft veined finishes, on bases ranging from crown cut elm veneer to brushed gold stainless steel and powder-coated metal.

Why Sintered Stone Works So Well for Dining

Sintered stone is made by fusing natural minerals under intense heat and pressure, which makes it dense and non-porous. In plain terms: sauces, red wine and coffee sit on top instead of soaking in, and it never needs sealing. It's also very hard to scratch, so cutlery and plates won't leave marks.

The trade-offs are worth knowing too. It's heavier than timber or glass, and like any stone, the edges can chip if something heavy knocks into them.

Sintered Stone or Marble?

Both look similar from across the room. Real marble has a natural depth some people love, but it's porous, so lemon juice and wine can mark it if they sit too long, and it needs resealing. Sintered stone gives you a similar veined look with far less upkeep. If you have your heart set on the real thing, see our marble dining tables.

Finding the Right Size

• 4 seats: compact tables like the Harvey at 140cm suit apartments and smaller dining nooks.
• 6 seats: around 180cm is the sweet spot for most family homes.
• 8 seats: look at 200 to 240cm, like the Olmo Fiorito, which comes in 200cm and 220cm.

Leave about 90cm between the table edge and the nearest wall, so chairs can pull out comfortably.

Round, Oval & Extendable Designs

Not every stone table has to be a rectangle. The Mont Blanc is a 150cm round sintered stone dining table that seats six, and the Vita Luno has a soft egg-shaped top. Browse more round dining tables.

If you host often, an extendable sintered stone dining table gives you extra seats when you need them. The Forma Bella extends from 180cm to 260cm. See all extendable dining tables.

Why Some Tops Have a Glass Layer

Many of our tables bond a 6mm sintered stone surface to an 8mm glass layer underneath. The glass adds strength across a wide top, and gives the edge a clean, layered look from the side.

Complete Your Dining Room

Stone pairs well with upholstered and timber-legged chairs, which soften the look. Browse our dining chairs to find a match, or see the full range of dining tables.
