Where can I get a nice table made?
I am looking for a solid timber table that is 2400mm long x 1200mm/1400mm wide to use as a dining table. Something that has a nice grain. I also want to get some high back chairs (8-10) to match.
Everything that I have looked at so far is mass produced rubbish.
Anyone know some good places in Melbourne that I can see some decent tables or a shop that makes decent tables?
Thanks.

Try Lignum or LGS (Forum members). But be prepared to pay for quality.

Thanks Rocker. I don't mind paying for a decent table. The pine one we have now is 10 years old and it has lasted well. I only want to upgrade as it isn't big enough.

Anyone can make a table, but most can't make good chairs.
If you want good quality see Lignum who is located at Mordialloc

and no I don't get any commission for referrals. Am just a happy customer - he also has an outlet in Syd

Try these
Try Grampians furniture in Halls Gap or Envisage furniture in Shepparton. Both have web sites and the workmanship is fantastic. I visit when I pass through just to admire the craftsmanship and quality.
