Most recommended solid woods:
- Oak: maximum durability, pronounced grain, natural patina over time
- Beech: dense and stable wood, uniform light tone
- Ash: impact-resistant, elegant grain
- Walnut: premium look, chocolate hues
Selection criteria:
- Heavy use: prioritize oak or beech
- Modern aesthetic: ash or beech
- Rustic character: raw oak
The thickness of the tabletop also influences strength: minimum 26 mm for daily use, 40 mm for optimal robustness.
The final choice depends on your priorities between durability, aesthetics, and budget.
