What to look for in a Farmhouse Table

FOR MOST OF US, THE KITCHEN is the most popular room in the home for talking and dining while preparing a meal. That is why the Farmhouse table has become the number one furniture piece to purchase. Its large, rectangular design was made sturdy and solid for heavy use in a home on the farm. Today they serve as dining tables, work surfaces, and desks. A typical farm table is made with planks running from end to end, with straight or turned legs, sometimes with a shelf and drawers for storage. When buying a Farmhouse table you should look for the following:

THE SIZE OF THE TABLE – Is the table large enough for your needs? As there are many different sizes of farm tables to choose from, you need to ensure that the one you have chosen is large enough or small enough for your home. Furniture From the Barn custom builds all its tables to match dimensions given by the customers. 

THE TABLE– The legs are the foundation of the table and should be firmly attached in order to support the table and express the style of your home. Furniture From the Barn has 5 designs to choose that could compliment any décor, whether cottage, country or a city.

THE SPECIES OF WOOD - Wood products are known for their natural beauty, but when selecting a type of wood for your Farmhouse table, it is important to consider the level of durability. Each type and species of wood varies widely, and some may not be durable enough to withstand heavy wear and tear. Furniture From the Barn uses reclaimed wood from 18^th century barns in the PA area. This assures the customer that the table they purchase is made of solid wood that will last a lifetime.
