Is a solid wood or engineered wood dining table better?

Solid wood is stronger, handles daily use for years and can be sanded and re-polished. Engineered wood (MDF or particle board) is cheaper and lighter but can swell if water seeps into edges.

What wood are your 4 seater dining tables made of?

Our wooden 4 seater pages list solid Indian teak wood on 23 sets and sheesham wood on one.

Does engineered wood swell in Indian weather?

Moisture and spills that reach the core or edges can make MDF and particle board swell, so it needs good edge sealing and quick wiping.

Can a solid wood dining table be repaired?

Yes. Scratches and worn polish on solid wood can usually be sanded and re-polished, which is rarely possible with laminate on engineered boards.

How do I check what a table is made of?

Read the material line on the product page and ask the seller in writing. Our product pages list the wood for every set.
