The dinner table is a symbol of unity. It’s where we discuss our life’s most recent events, positive and negative. It’s where we share meals with people that we love.
Farmhouse tables, also known as harvest tables, enhance that familiar feeling. These strong and sturdy tables were once used as farmers’ workstations, but nowadays, they offer a gathering place for family and friends. Not only are farmhouse tables reliably strong, but they’re a charming addition to any home. Store-bought farmhouse tables can get really spendy, but luckily there are a variety of farmhouse table plans available online!
Farmhouse tables can be made from a variety of wood including maple, solid oak, or reclaimed pine. Before you source your wood, look into whether your city has a reclaimed wood facility. Not only is reclaimed wood eco-friendly, but the unique distressed details are one of a kind. Keep in mind, however, that the harder the wood is, the higher the price will be.
Whether you’re an amateur or expert, these harvest tables have a lot to offer for an affordable price. The following DIY plans are free and offer step-by-step instructions for any level of woodworker. Farmhouse tables can be a big investment, literally and physically, so you’ll want to choose a project that matches up with your skillset. Check out some of our favorite farmhouse table plans below.
