How to find the perfect table for your home

A solid wood table is more than just a piece of furniture—it's the centerpiece of your dining area, where family and friends gather. Several factors play a role in choosing the right table: size, leg shape, chair dimensions, and, of course, the design. At Wild Mango Designs, you'll find handcrafted solid wood tables made of mango and acacia wood that are durable and stylish. Here's your guide to finding the perfect table for your home.

Choosing the right table size

First, you should determine the right size for your room. Here are a few tips:

• Room size: Leave at least 90 cm of space between the table and walls or furniture so you can move around comfortably.
• Seating capacity: A standard table width is 90-100 cm to allow enough space for plates and decorations.
• Length guidelines:
  • A 120 cm table offers space for 4 people.
  • A 150-180 cm table offers space for 6 people.
  • A 200-220 cm table offers space for 8 people.
  • A 240-300 cm table offers space for 10-12 people.

Leg shape and stability

The position of the table legs influences both the design and functionality. There are several variations:

• Corner legs: Provide maximum stability and allow for more seating along the sides. For example, our Industrial Mango or Edgy Acacia dining table.
• Trestle or center leg: Provides more legroom and looks particularly elegant—perfect for long tables. For example , our 240cm oval table.
• U- legs : A modern, stylish option that combines stability with plenty of space for your feet.

• X-legs: Aesthetically an eye-catcher, more massive look

• Design legs : High quality with maximum functionality

The right chairs for your table

To ensure it remains comfortable, you should consider these measurements:

• Standard seat height: Most chairs are approximately 45 cm high – ideal for a table height of 75 cm.
• To choose armrests or not? Make sure the armrests fit under the table if you have limited space.
• Benches as an alternative: They save space and fit perfectly with tables with trestle frames. For example, we offer this bench as a set with a beautiful dining table.

Unfortunately, we don't offer chairs because our selection is endless and we have limited storage space. However, we do have benches and many other pieces of furniture that will enhance your home!
