Walnut Trestle Dining Table with Matching Bench

This solid walnut trestle table and matching bench sit between the kitchen and the family room, right where a family actually eats. The curved trestle base gives it a classic farmhouse shape, and the walnut keeps it feeling refined instead of rustic.

The specs

  • Wood: solid walnut
  • Top: wide-plank walnut, built to size
  • Base: trestle with curved posts and feet
  • Bench: matching walnut trestle bench
  • Finish: natural walnut

Why a trestle base

A trestle puts the legs at the ends instead of the corners, so chairs and a bench slide in along the sides without bumping legs. It's the easiest base to seat a crowd at, and it reads timeless in almost any room.

Why add a bench

A bench on one side seats more people than chairs in the same space, tucks fully under the table when it's not in use, and kids love it. Building it from the same walnut as the table means the grain and color match exactly.

Another one: walnut top, black trestle base

Here's another walnut trestle table we built, with the base painted black for contrast under a natural walnut top.
