Popular Amish Table Styles at AmishFirstFurniture

Below are just a few of the timeless styles we offer:

Colonial Dining Tables

Inspired by early American craftsmanship, Colonial-style tables bring a sense of history and authenticity into the home. Often built in oak or cherry, these tables feature classic lines and durable construction reminiscent of early American homesteads.

Mid-Century Modern Dining Tables

Mid-Century Modern Amish tables combine iconic retro silhouettes with the strength of real hardwood. While mass-produced MCM furniture is often made from MDF or laminate, AmishFirstFurniture offers true solid-wood Mid-Century dining tables handcrafted for lasting beauty.

Farmhouse Dining Tables

Farmhouse tables remain a favorite for their clean lines and warm, inviting styling. Built from hardwoods like maple and cherry, many models offer optional distressing for an authentically rustic look that blends beautifully into both modern and traditional homes.

Mission & Craftsman Dining Tables

Mission-style dining tables celebrate simplicity, strength, and visible craftsmanship. Defined by straight lines, square posts, and mortise-and-tenon construction, these tables are built to be admired for decades. Their sturdy presence and timeless character fit effortlessly into nearly any space.

Built with Integrity, Designed to Last

Amish craftsmen understand that a dining table is more than a piece of furniture—it’s a place where stories are shared and memories are made. That’s why our builders never cut corners. Table tops typically start at a full 1-inch thickness, and every surface is made from real hardwood. No veneers. No fillers. No shortcuts.

These are tables designed to endure daily use and still look beautiful 20, 30, even 50 years from now.

What Size Dining Table Do You Really Need?

A Complete Guide from AmishFirstFurniture**

Choosing a new dining table is exciting — it’s often the centerpiece of your home, a place where meals, conversations, celebrations, homework sessions, crafts, and family memories all come together. With open-concept spaces becoming more common, dining tables today do far more than hold dinner plates. They help define your home’s style and support your everyday life.

Before you fall in love with a design, it’s important to know what size dining table will actually work best in your space. This guide will walk you through how to measure your room, think through seating needs, and understand your options for extendable Amish tables.

Step 1: Measure Your Dining Space

No matter how beautiful a table is, it must function within the room. Giving yourself and your guests enough space to move comfortably is key.

Recommended Clearance

Aim for at least 48" of open space between the edge of your table and:

• 
  Walls
  
• 
  Cabinets
  
• 
  Other furniture
  
• 
  Walkways
  

This allows guests to push chairs back, stand up, and walk past others without feeling cramped.

A Helpful Visual Tip

If you're unsure what size will fit:

1. 
   Lay a sheet, blanket, or painter’s plastic where the table will go.
   
2. 
   Shape it roughly to the size you’re considering — round, square, or rectangular.
   
3. 
   Measure from its edges to the walls.
   
4. 
   Adjust until the space feels right.
   

This simple trick helps visualize the table size long before delivery day.

Step 2: Seating Needs & Lifestyle

Ask yourself:

• 
  Do you host large gatherings, or is dining usually just a few people?
  
• 
  Do your kids do homework or crafts at the table?
  
• 
  Do you want a cozy nook or a grand statement piece?
  

Even if you don’t entertain often, many tables built by Amish craftsmen come with extensions so you have flexibility when guests do arrive.

Step 3: Choosing the Right Extension Style

At AmishFirstFurniture, we offer many types of solid-wood Amish extension systems. Here’s a quick overview:

Stow-Leaf / Draw-Extension Tables

Great for quickly adding space. Leaves slide out from underneath and flip into place. Perfect when you need extra room fast.

Removable Leaf Tables

Classic and versatile. Most removable leaves are 12" wide, but Amish builders can customize sizes. Some tables offer convenient self-storage beneath the top.

Drop-Leaf & Gateleg Tables

Ideal for small spaces and multipurpose rooms.

Drop-leaf tables fold down when not needed; gateleg styles swing additional support legs into place when expanded.

Butterfly-Leaf Tables

A highly efficient design where the leaf folds up and stores inside the table itself. Common widths are 18", adding room for two more guests.

Step 4: Understanding Table Size Basics

Tabletop Size

Allow at least:

• 
  24" per person (minimum)
  
• 
  30" per person (ideal for comfort)
  

For rectangular tables, add 12" on each end if you want to seat someone at the head and foot.

Table Height

Most dining tables are 29–31" high.

Keep around 12" of space between the seat of your chair and the underside of the table for comfort.

For kitchens, a counter-height table doubles nicely as a food prep surface.

Table Width

Most dining tables are around 36" wide, giving room for place settings plus shared dishes in the center.

Recommended Table Length by Seating Capacity

Rectangular Tables

• 
  72" table → seats 6–8
  
• 
  96" table → seats 8–10
  
• 
  120" table → seats 10–12
  

Add extra length if it’s a leg table, since legs may affect where chairs can fit.

Round Tables

• 
  36–48" → seats 4
  
• 
  60" → seats 6
  
• 
  72" → seats 8
  

Round and square tables work beautifully in smaller or symmetrical rooms but can become harder to use as they get very large (reaching the center becomes a challenge).

One Last Tip: Think About Everyday Living

Your dining table isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a place to live. Whether you choose a cozy round pedestal table or a grand 12-foot trestle table, your Amish-built piece should feel comfortable, inviting, and functional year-round.

At AmishFirstFurniture, all our dining tables are handcrafted in America using solid hardwoods, never veneers or particleboard. They’re built to serve your family for decades — and often generations.
