Our reclaimed wood dining table collection is a celebration of character, craftsmanship and sustainability, We have carefully created furniture for over 15 years, and each reclaimed dining table is handmade using carefully sourced reclaimed timber. A dining table reclaimed timber piece brings warmth and a little history into your home, with all the natural markings and patina that make it completely unique. These reclaimed wood dining tables are built to last and sit alongside other reclaimed wood furniture table pieces, creating a timeless home that feels refined and relaxed.
A reclaimed wood dining table is made using timber that has been carefully salvaged and then repurposed. Not only does this create natural grain patterns and patina that is impossible to recreate with new timber, but it also gives wood a second life, meaning another tree doesn't have to die. Unlike mass produced furniture, a reclaimed dining table is both sustainable and built to last, making reclaimed wood dining tables a popular choice for those looking to bring more character to their home without compromising on structure and functionality. With over 15 years crafting our dining tables by hand, each one is made with precision and passion that is unmatched.
Each reclaimed wood dining table is made by hand in our family run workshop.
Because we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
Made by a small family run business for over 15 years.
A standard reclaimed wood dining table is typically around 75- 77cm high, which is the perfect height for most dining chairs. Many reclaimed wood dining tables can also be made to custom heights, especially when its made from solid reclaimed timber, which ensures your reclaimed wood furniture table fits into your home perfectly.
As a general rule of thumb you should allow 90cm of space around a reclaimed wood dining table to move easily and pull out benches and chairs with ease. For busy homes with large families, 100cm or even 120cm of space is ideal. When planning your room, remember that reclaimed wood dining tables are solid and substantial, so giving it breathing room helps with it feeling balanced and practical, whilst showcasing its natural character.
When choosing a reclaimed wood dining table, consider the size of your room and how much space you need around it. Think about how many people will be sat at the dining table every day, and also think about gatherings. Then, think about whether you want to have a bench or two to maximise seating options, whether you would like the bench to fit underneath or sit alongside the table, and then finally you need to consider the colour. We offer a wide variety of finishes, including antique oak, antique pine, limed oak and natural.
To dress a reclaimed wood dining table, keep the styling simple so that the character of the reclaimed timber is the main event. A linen table runner, and soft greenery works wonderfully on a reclaimed dining table, as it adds texture without overpowering it.
In order to keep your reclaimed wood dining table looking its best, it is important that you follow these steps.
1. Clean your reclaimed dining table regularly with a soft damp cloth.
2. Keep away from direct sources of heat and light, as this can cause wood movement.
3. Do not use harsh chemicals to protect the finish.
4. If you have a wax finish, we recommend topping this up once a month to keep it looking its best.
We offer a variety of finishes for our dining tables, including Antique Oak, Antique Pine, Limed Oak, Natural and Antique Elm. We also offer a colour match service if you need a colour that we don't offer, just let us know.
With all of our dining tables, whether you choose a dining table and chairs, a dining table and bench, or 2 benches, we have something for everyone and all can be customised to whatever colour suits your space best.
Our personal favourite for our reclaimed wood dining tables is the Antique Oak finish, as we feel it really brings out the grain and adds warmth to any space.
Very happy with our console table. Seemed a bit of a wait as hand made to order, but well worth it. Looks perfect. Safe delivery. Would recommend.
Love my new Breakfast bar table kitchen stool set. Amazing quality, beautifully presented. A class product. Thank you.
Arrived fully Assembled very sturdy and looks amazing
I absolutely love my new bookshelf! I spent so long looking for what I wanted and regret initially hesitating because there was a wait - yet in the end it didn't matter as nothing else I found came close.
The process was straightforward and as promised there was an email 2 weeks prior to delivery and then updates on the order, right up to a call 20 minutes before the delivery with nice guys who were willing to wait until I got home from work.
The quality is excellent - I love the aesthetic as I wanted something simple, narrow and unobtrusive for my books. There are plenty of alternatives that are made of chipboard and veneer and will arrive super fast however if you want something that is stylish, very well made and reasonably priced, I would really recommend Shabby Bear Cottage!
Well made and very sturdy bookshelves!
Customer service was great - I asked if one could be reduced by 10cm to fit the space. Really pleased
This is my second order and I’m very pleased with them
High quality bespoke coffee table, solid materials and great craftmanship. Looks great in our new lounge!
My table arrived today and wow absolutely amazing we love it! ..great finish just as I requested..Special thank you to Kathy and Jess who always answered my questions great communication..will definitely recommend as beautiful products x
We bought this last year but it's been in the garage since due to the weather. We built it today in the sunshine and we're so impressed with this solid and stylish table and bench. Can't wait for more sunny days to use it!
Love our console table, Jessie was so helpful, and did the measurements on the console to our requirements, and fast with communication! Would definitely recommend :)
Seamless process and love the product. Would definitely recommend.
My unit came fully assembled which was great. Shelves are nicely sanded and stained, also nicely finished at the edges too.
I had an issue with my delivery day and hadn't got an initial response from High Velocity the courier but when I called up it was sorted straight away.
Wow what amazing furniture, I am over the moon with my new table and bench set, it has been made so well and the wood is beautiful. I wanted a smaller table than the standard size so found this company that hand made the size I wanted. The price was brilliant and the communication and wait time was spot on. I highly recommend this company you will mot be disappointed.
I bought table this for my hallway as I had recently decorated and wanted a side table as a feature. After much searching I found this shop & item and took a chance on ordering something I had never seen in person… well it certainly paid off and it looks stunning in my hallway, turning quite a boring space into a warm and inviting area. The seller’s communication and customer service throughout the process were second to none and I absolutely love the table. It’s very special to have a beautiful UK handmade item in my home and support a small business at the same time. If you are thinking of ordering something from this business don’t hesitate, you won’t regret it.
Really pleased with our recent purchase of a table and bench from shabby bear cottage. The quality is great, very easy to assemble and just looks amazing! Buy with confidence you will not be dissapointed!
