Vintage dining tables and used dining tables: teak, rosewood, design classics

1 4

The dining table is the piece everything gathers around. Used, you get solid wood and designs here that cost a fortune new.

At 2nd home you will find vintage dining tables and used dining tables from second hand: tables by Knoll International and Vitra, Swiss workshop quality by Horgenglarus, the Quadrondo by Erwin Nagel, designs by Jean Nouvel and Wogg, rosewood and Danish teak of the 1960s and 1970s, extendable models for large gatherings. Every table is described with all dimensions. The matching chairs await among the dining chairs, the whole setting in the dining room, more shapes among the tables.

What should you look for in a used dining table?

At the top: scratches are part of it, deep water marks and burn marks are not. At the extension mechanism, which must run smoothly, and at legs that stand firm, otherwise a dining table wobbles at every meal. And at the size: 60 centimetres of width per person is the rule of thumb. Everything we know is stated with every piece.

Round, oval or extendable?

A round table brings conversations together and fits small rooms, an oval one seats more guests without corners, an extendable one is the family classic. Teak and rosewood are warm and robust, glass and marble stately. Used, you get all of it well below list price.

Why a dining table from second hand?

Because 1960s tables are built from wood that is rarely worked like this today, and because a table that has carried sixty years of meals will carry another sixty. Measure door and stairwell before buying, the narrowest point decides.
