In this complete buyer\u2019s guide we explain exactly what solid oak means and how it differs from oak veneer and oak effect surfaces, so you can read product descriptions with confidence. We look at the difference between prime and character grade timber, the pros and cons of oiled, lacquered, waxed and hardwax oil finishes, and the construction details that separate a sturdy table from a disappointing one, including board layout, top thickness and leg joints. We also cover sizing and extending options, why oak naturally moves with the seasons in centrally heated British homes, how to pair chairs and storage, and the simple care routine that keeps oak looking rich and warm. It is everything you need to choose a table that will age beautifully."}
