Custom Solid Oak Tables Made to Order in the UK

We welcome enquiries from anyone looking for a bespoke table, custom dining table, custom desk, custom dining room table, custom table top or other type of wood project. Custom projects that we take on include adaptations to our standard ready-to-buy products, customer-designed one-off pieces, and trade orders for multiple custom made tables. We also do restoration and remodelling (see below for examples) of customers’ existing furniture.

What is a custom table and how can it be made to suit your space?

A custom table is one designed and built specifically to match your room layout, your practical use, and your visual preference. At Tablemaker, we construct solid wood tables using full stave hardwood table tops, joinery that holds up over time, and finishing options that are safe, durable and natural. Every custom dining table is made to order in our London workshop, down to the last centimetre, ensuring it fits the way you live or work.

Please complete our form to make a custom project enquiry.

What sizes and shapes are available?

We make custom dining tables and custom desk table tops in lengths ranging up 240 centimetres (potentially longer in some materials) and widths up to 115 centimetres. These can be set at any working or dining height and shaped as rectangles, squares, circles or L-shaped formats. We work to your measurements using precision tools, and the dimensions are confirmed to the millimetre for every custom made dining table.

Table top thickness options include 24 and 30 millimetres as standard options. Edge profiles are available as square, rounded, bevelled or chamfered to suit both the design and the intended use. For example, rounded edges are popular in family homes, while custom desks benefit from radiused front edges for comfort. We also produce custom hardwood table tops and custom live edge dining tables, depending on your preference for natural or finished edges.

What types of timber are available?

Custom made oak tables are one of our most requested pieces, and solid oak is our primary material because of its strength, natural resistance to wear, and warm visual texture. We also build custom dining tables and custom desks in ash, walnut, beech, pine and birch plywood. Timber boards are chosen for colour consistency and grain structure. All boards are joined with edge glue and clamps to form a full stave top, avoiding short or finger jointed sections—ideal for producing long-lasting custom hardwood table tops.

Legs are constructed from matching wood or fabricated in powder-coated steel, depending on the design. All parts are assembled using mechanical fasteners and structural joinery such as mortise and tenon joints or concealed pocket holes. This approach ensures that each custom built dining table or custom live edge table maintains both form and function for years to come.

Woods and finishes

What finishes can you choose?

We offer a range of finishes based on hardwax oils, which are breathable, food safe, and allow for refinishing later without sanding to bare wood. You can choose from clear oil, lightly pigmented tones or custom mixed tints.

All finishes are:

Low or moderate volatile organic compound (VOC)

Safe for homes and commercial use

Easy to reapply when needed

Straightening bars are added to all tables. These are fitted to the underside using oak or steel and are fixed with screws, not glue, so they can be removed for maintenance. These help minimise cupping and other movement over time.

How Do Custom Features Add Value?

You can choose from a wide list of adjustments that let your table function better or fit better in your space:

  • Notches for skirting boards, wall sockets or radiators

  • Holes for cable routing, with or without grommets

  • Rounded or radiused corners for accessibility or safety

  • Pre drilled pilot holes for attaching to legs or frames

  • Matching benches, stools or accessories

  • Leg placement customised to chair layout or frame.

If you are ordering a sit stand desk top, we can supply it pre drilled to fit Flexispot, Fully, IKEA Idasen and other common frame types.

Questions We Get Asked
About Custom Oak Solid Tables

If you have a question of your own, then please ask.

Yes, Tablemaker welcomes visitors by appointment at our London showroom located at 55 High St, London N8 7QB. This allows you to view sample finishes, inspect timber quality, and discuss your custom project directly with the team. To arrange a visit, please contact them via phone or email.

To keep your solid oak table in optimal condition:

  • Regular cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and spills.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.

  • Re-oiling: Depending on usage, reapply a suitable hardwax oil as needed to maintain the protective layer.

  • Protect from heat and moisture: Use coasters for hot items and promptly wipe any liquid spills to prevent staining or warping.

Following these steps will help preserve the table’s appearance and longevity.

While Tablemaker primarily uses sustainably sourced solid oak and other hardwoods, we are open to accommodating requests for reclaimed or FSC-certified timber. If you have specific environmental preferences or sourcing requirements, it’s best to discuss them directly with the team during your project consultation.

Yes, Tablemaker offers custom features to enhance functionality, including:

  • Cable management: Incorporating cable routing holes with or without grommets.

  • Power integration: Creating holes for embedding power outlets or USB ports into the tabletop or legs.

These features are particularly beneficial for home offices, conference tables, or communal workspaces. Discuss your specific needs with the team to explore available options.

To order a cohesive furniture set:

  1. Initial consultation: Provide details about the desired pieces, including dimensions, wood type, and finish preferences.

  2. Design coordination: The team will ensure that the design elements, such as leg styles and edge profiles, are harmonized across all items.

  3. Quotation: Receive a comprehensive quote covering all pieces in the set.

  4. Production: Upon approval, the workshop will craft each item, ensuring consistency in materials and craftsmanship.

Ordering a complete set ensures visual harmony and can be more cost-effective than purchasing items individually.
