Walnut Dining Tables

Walnut is a hardwood valued for its rich color, distinctive grain, and natural variation. These characteristics give solid walnut dining tables visual depth and make the natural wood an important part of the overall design.

Walnut is known for brown tones that can range from lighter areas to deep chocolate brown. Because it is a natural material, color and grain vary from board to board rather than appearing completely uniform.

Rustic Red Door's walnut dining tables are crafted from solid walnut wood. Natural grain patterns, color variations, and other characteristics of the wood will be visible throughout the table rather than being printed or replicated on a manufactured surface.

A live edge walnut dining table preserves the natural contours of the wood along portions of the tabletop rather than cutting every edge into a perfectly straight line. The result highlights the organic shape, grain, and individual character of the walnut slab. Browse our live edge dining tables for more designs.

Extension availability depends on the individual table design. Rustic Red Door offers dining tables with extension options for shoppers who want a smaller everyday table with the ability to create additional seating space for larger gatherings. Browse extendable dining tables to compare available designs.

Yes. Solid wood naturally responds to changes in humidity and temperature. Small seasonal changes are normal, which is why maintaining reasonably consistent indoor humidity can help protect solid wood furniture.

Solid wood tables are constructed primarily from real wood rather than a thin wood veneer applied over another material. Solid wood can develop character over time and can often be repaired or refinished after years of use.

Allow about 24 inches of table width per person for comfortable everyday seating. You’ll also want approximately 36 inches between the table and surrounding walls or furniture so chairs can be pulled out comfortably. See our Dining Table Size Guide for more help choosing a size.

Climate Control & Light

Do not place your new wooden furniture in direct sunlight. Over time, UV rays can bleach and damage the integrity of the wood.

Place your wooden furniture away from heat sources such as fireplaces, radiators, or heating vents. Regular exposure to heat will eventually dry and warp the wood.

Avoid significant fluctuations in temperature and humidity which cause the wood to expand and shrink. Use a dehumidifier or humidifier to maintain a more stable climate. The ideal climate for wooden furniture is a consistent 60-80˚F and 30-60% humidity, all year.

Regular Care

Use placemats, tablecloths, trivets, and coasters for tables. While our wooden furniture has a durable finish, heat and moisture can damage any wooden surface.

Avoid the use of rubber and plastics on wooden furniture. As plastics break down, they can bleach their color onto the wood’s surface and chemically damage the finish. 

Maintenance and Cleaning 

Dust your wooden furniture frequently. Dust with the grain of the wood to maintain the integrity of the natural wood design.

Microfiber cloths are best at trapping dirt but any soft cloth can be used to dust your furniture. Refold the cloth often to avoid redepositing dust back onto the surface.

Avoid spray polishes. Repeated use causes a build-up of the polish which dulls the surface of your furniture.

Consistently use the same type of polish on your wooden furniture. Using a wax-based polish and an oil-based polish interchangeably can result in a cloudy or streaked appearance on your wood finish.

Only use cleaning products that are designed for the finish applied to your particular piece of wood. When in doubt, a soft cloth moistened with water and a drop of detergent will adequately clean most wooden surfaces. To regularly clean a frequently used wooden surface, such as a dining table, a mixture of 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar to 1 cup of water will help remove normal daily residue.

Never saturate your wooden surfaces. When using a moistened wet cloth to clean your wood, immediately rinse and dry the surface when you are finished.

Powder-coated metals may be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth.
