Oak Dining Tables - a contemporary look

I grew up in a farmhouse which was furnished by my mother from great finds at local auctions.  We used to joke that she would come back with yet another dining room table, a great wardrobe or chest of drawers.  In those days, solid wood furniture was cheap to buy and, because her father had been a joiner, she loved and appreciated the quality of the furniture on offer.

It's really lovely to see nice pieces of oak being made into dining tables, chairs and sideboards - Top Furniture Ltd offer one of the largest selection of oak dining tables in the UK.  Small dining tables to seat 2 or 4 people up to very large dining tables seating 8, 10, 12 or 14 people. Well-made pieces like these might be appearing on the Antiques Road Show 200 years from now - I'd love to be around to see them!  The prices seem very reasonable as well - Mum would be proud.
