Bring warmth, character, and timeless style to your dining space with The Refectory, a handmade rustic dining table crafted from reclaimed wood in Devon. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, this table is designed to be the heart of your home – sturdy, sustainable, and full of character.

Why Choose The Refectory Dining Table

Perfect for family meals and entertaining guests, The Refectory combines durability with understated elegance. Pair it with a wooden bench for your dining room table to create a coordinated and inviting setting.

Handmade from Reclaimed Wood

Each wood dining table with bench is individually crafted, showcasing the unique grain, knots, and textures of reclaimed wood. This natural variation ensures no two pieces are ever the same, giving your home a wooden table and bench set that’s truly one of a kind.

Sizes, Finishes & Bespoke Options

The Refectory is available in a wide range of sizes, with bespoke options on request. Whether you need an intimate 100cm table or a grand 250cm centrepiece, you’ll find a fit for your home.

Matching Benches for a Complete Look

Choose from our handmade benches to complement your table. Designed to match perfectly, these benches can be ordered in the same length as your table or slightly shorter if you prefer them to tuck neatly underneath — the ideal wooden bench table solution.

Eco-Friendly & Built to Last

Crafted using sustainable materials, The Refectory is more than just furniture — it’s a long-lasting investment in quality and eco-friendly living.

Our Exquisite Finishes

Natural : Close to the soul of raw wood, delicately pale with subtle variations that highlight its natural beauty. This finish celebrates the essence of wood in its purest form, perfect for those who appreciate simplicity and organic charm.

Antique Oak : Luxuriously dark and rich, achieved with a meticulous application of natural wax that deepens over time. Its warm tones and timeless appeal evoke the grandeur of centuries-old oak, making it a statement piece in any setting.

Antique Pine : Lighter than oak yet equally inviting, this finish radiates a cozy warmth that invites you to linger. The natural wax enhances the wood's natural grain, creating a rustic elegance that pairs beautifully with both traditional and contemporary décor.

Antique Elm: A sophisticated blend of brown and grey hues, sealed with a durable water-based lacquer for longevity. This finish not only adds depth and character but also offers practicality, ensuring your furniture remains as stunning as the day it was crafted.

Limed Oak: Delicately light and airy, with a soft white and grey tone that gives the wood a subtle weathered appearance. The liming process enhances the natural grain patterns, creating a finish that exudes coastal charm and modern elegance.
