Edgehill Woodworks started out of a one car garage, locally owned, furniture company. Our custom tables and furniture are hand-built by a group of local craftsmen in our shop in Elk Grove, California. Our collection of farmhouse furniture is built onsite with our hand apply finish.

To calculate the right size for your dining room table, take the length and width measurements of your room in feet. Then, subtract 6 feet from each measurements to account for 3 feet of clearance on all sides of the table. Multiply this number by 12 to get a suitable table length and width in inches. Standard industry measurements display the width first, height, second and depth third. For example, our farmhouse table can be shown as 42" x 60" x 48". Most rectangular tabled are between 36" and 40" wide. A table that seats four should be about 48" long. To seat four to six people, look for a table that is at least 60" long. For six to eight guests, your table should be at least 78" long. Our standard sizes are: 4 - Seater: 36 - 48" in Width and 48 - 60" long 6 - Seater: 36 - 42" in Width and 72 - 84" long 8 - Seater: 40 - 48" in Width and 84 - 96" long

When choosing a wood for a dining table, you can consider things like the table's intended use, desired aesthetic, and durability. These are good choice for long-lasting furniture. Some hardwoods that are often used for dining tables include: Quarter-Sawn White Oak: A dense hardwood that varies in color from light grayish-tan to brown with an open grain that's resistant to dents and marks. Oak is a good choice for families with Children who use the table often. Teak: A durable wood that's resistant to water, rot, warping, pests, and decay due to it's natural oils. Walnut: A traditional wood that's prized for it's strength, beauty and resilience. Cherry: A softer hardwood with a smooth grain and reddish hue that can darken over time with exposure to light and heat. Cherry can add warmth and elegance to a room, but it's more prone to denting than harder woods. Hard Maple: Is a good wood to use for building a table because of it's strength, durability and easy to work with. It's a popular choice for dining tables. Maple has been valued by furniture makers for centuries for it's tight grain. Yellow Pine: This wood is a less durable than hardwoods, but it's easier to work with and more cost effective. Pine is a softwood option that can work well for a rustic look or unique grain pattern.

WHAT FINISH COLOR SHOULD I CHOOSE?

HOW DURABLE IS YOUR LACQUER FINISH? HOW DURABLE IS LACQUER? Oil-based Lacquer is a great finish for solid wood furniture. It's hard, durable, and scratch resistant. We apply this by spraying 3-4 coats and sanding between each coat to create a near flawless finish. Let's be honest - dining room tables take a beating, especially with younger kids. We eat, play, and do homework all around the table and you need something that stands up to the test - our lacquer is what you need. Here are few of our favorite things about oil-based lacquer: 1. You don't have to use coasters. You can leave a glass of ice water on the table in the summer and the condensation won't leave a water ring. 2. Spills wipe right up. Some finishes used on less durable tables would need to be stripped if you spilled something like kool-aid on them. 3. The oil-based lacquer doesn't need to be reapplied and won't dry out over time like some oil finishes. If something is too hot to hold, you'll want to put down a hot pad or trivet, like with practically any surface. You can also damage your top if you spill something chemically abrasive on it, like finger nail polish remover. You also don't want to use hard chemicals to clean your table, as that may wear down the finish over the years. We recommend a wet rag or a wet soapy rag for cleaning - but you can use any cleaning product intended for wood surfaces. Please note, our barn wood finish is our only color that uses a water based polyurethane. We can't achieve that color while using an oil-based lacquer. While still durable, it is a little more delicate and coasters are recommended and the top can leave water marks. Every other finish color we have uses our oil-based lacquer. We use a satin/low sheen finish by default. We find this low sheen looks the best on real, solid wood furniture and is easier to keep clean and smudge free than higher gloss finishes.

WE OFFER TWO DIFFERENT DELIVERY OPTIONS BASED ON YOUR LOCATION. CURBSIDE FREIGHT SHIPPING DETAILS: We offer curbside shipping to all 48 contiguous states. Most furniture is shipped within approx. 10-12 weeks of ordering. You will be notified by our team as soon as your furniture leaves our shop. Furniture is typically in transit for 3 to 7 business days. Once the furniture arrives at the shipping terminal nearest to your home, you will be contacted by the freight company to schedule a delivery window. Please note that sometimes these delivery time windows can span over several hours, so please be prepared to accept your shipment at any point in the time window given. All 3rd party freight deliveries occur during normal business hours only. If you are not able to accept your shipment within a reasonable amount of time (as defined by the freight company), the freight company may be required to charge storage fees. To save you money, your delivery will be curbside. This means you will need to bring the furniture inside your home, uncrate/unpack it, and assemble it (If your pieces come unassembled). Keep in mind that our solid hardwood furniture is often quite heavy and you will almost certainly need help to bring your custom furniture inside from the curb. If the length of your table exceeds 10 feet, please be prepared to help the delivery driver offload your shipment. It is your responsibility to inspect your new furniture thoroughly and completely for any damage BEFORE signing for the package(s). In the very rare event that your furniture does arrive damaged, please note any damage on the delivery slip before signing for your furniture. In the unlikely event that your furniture is damaged in transit by the 3rd party freight-liner, Edgehill Woodworks will ship you replacement furniture at no additional cost to you by filing a claim with the shipping company, but we can only do that if you've noted damage on the delivery slip before signing for the furniture. Once you sign the delivery slip, Edgehill Woodworks can assume no responsibility for damage found after delivery, so fully inspecting your furniture upon delivery is extremely important. Please note: Furniture cannot be refused upon delivery if it does not fit through an entryway. It is your responsibility to ensure the furniture you order can fit in your home. Please note: Because of increased freight costs, there will be an additional surcharge of $150.00 per order for third party freight shipped to New York City. When ordering online, your total will not reflect this additional fee. We will reach out to you directly when your online order has been processed. Please don't hesitate to call or email us with any questions regarding this surcharge.
