Trestle style dining tables - our pick of the best
Looking to find the perfect trestle style dining table? From traditional solid oak to modern updates with glass tops, there’s a style to suit all homes.
There’s something reassuringly sturdy about trestle-style dining tables and the design of these beautiful, solid tables give a dining room a timeless quality. You’ll find trestle table designs to suit rustic, modern and industrial-style interiors. Long refectory-style tables are perfect for large kitchens, for family gatherings or when entertaining guests. In an open-plan kitchen or conservatory space trestle tables are the perfect choice – think of rustic tables alongside wooden dressers filled with china in a country conservatory. If your style is more warehouse-chic than rustic, robust tables with concrete or bleached-effect wood tops are ideal for an industrial-style loft conversion.
