Though many farmhouse tables are large and rectangular, some—particularly those under 50 inches long—only seat up to four. For ample seating—something that fits up to 10—look at options closer to 90 to 100 inches long.
Material
You’ll also want to consider material, particularly because dining tables often have to stand up to heavy daily use. For the most sturdy and durable options, look for solid wood, and avoid painted options for daily use.
Delivery and Assembly
Keep in mind that farmhouse-style dining tables are typically very large items that require special arrangements to be made for delivery. As such, delivery can be much costlier than standard shipping. And delivery time may be longer, particularly if the item is made to order. Expect to wait four or more weeks in some cases. Finally, don’t forget to consider assembly. Typically, large pieces of furniture—like dining tables—require some assembly, like attaching legs. Some retailers will offer assembly upon delivery, which can be very helpful.
