Trestle tables have been popular since the Middle Ages and beyond, with these flexible and versatile furniture items ideal for family dining and available in diverse styles to suit various tastes. These tables compliment almost any home, and can add a touch of elegance or rustic sophistication to any space. If you’re thinking about integrating a trestle table or two into your dining room, patio, or home study, here are three things to consider.

Depending on the size of your family and the prevailing style and aesthetic within your space, you may want to add benches or chairs to the main dining table. Trestle tables can accommodate either. Whether you have homely decor or a more modern-styled abode, these tables could be suitable. Shop around and take your pick.
2. Trestle tables are multidimensional

These tables come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours. While they can effectively be utilised to create more seating for larger get-togethers, they are also available in smaller dimensions – making them ideal for more humble abodes or as outdoor furniture. You could even incorporate these desks in your home office space – the possibilities are endless.
3. Consider your budget before purchasing

Trestle tables may be more expensive than those with legs – depending on the style you choose. It’s important to consider your budget before making any decisions regarding the decor within your home. Shop around, or perhaps try and find one at a charming, second-hand furniture store, if your budget allows.
