Removing Stains From Your Dining Table Without Damage

A Table That Can Take a Few Spills

A dining table sees more action than almost anything else in the house. Sauce, coffee rings, a kid's marker that wandered off the paper. Before you worry about stains, it helps to start with a table that's built for real family use in the first place, which is exactly where Mega Home Furnishing comes in.

Getting the Dimensions Right

Allow 60cm per person along the table edge and 80 to 100cm between the table edge and the nearest wall so chairs can slide out easily. For a 4 room BTO, a 4 to 6 seater table is usually the sweet spot.

Pedestal base tables let you tuck chairs in fully, unlike four leg designs, which is a small thing that makes a big difference in a tight dining corner.

Table Shape Matters

• Rectangular: the all rounder. Maximises seating and sits neatly against a wall, ideal for narrow HDB dining areas.
• Round: no sharp corners to bump into, feels intimate, and suits square rooms well.
• Oval: a generous surface with softer lines throughout.
• Extendable: stays compact for everyday meals and opens up when the whole family shows up.

At Mega Home Furnishing, we stock every shape above so you can match your space instead of forcing your space to match the table.

Chair and Table Pairing

Standard table height sits at 73 to 76cm, with seat height at 43 to 48cm. Get that pairing right and long meals stay comfortable. Armless chairs also tuck under more completely, which matters when your dining area doubles as a walkway.
