When choosing a wooden dining table set for your dining room or living room, durability, wood grain, and pricing are the most important factors to consider.
Choosing the wood color is usually the easiest part of buying a wooden dining table set. However, several important factors directly depend on the type of wood you select.
Durability depends on wood hardness. Manufacturers often measure this using the Janka Hardness Test, which evaluates a wood species’ resistance to wear and denting. Higher Janka ratings indicate stronger and more durable wood. Wood grain refers to the arrangement of wood fibers and determines the overall texture. Large pores create an open grain pattern that remains visible to the naked eye. In contrast, smaller pores create a smoother and more closed-grain appearance.
When considering the price of a wooden dining table set, you should prioritize solid wood instead of particle board or low-cost engineered wood often used in mass-produced furniture. Because of Vietnam’s humid climate, Truong Thang applies cross-grain construction techniques to improve product stability. In addition, we only select FSC-certified wood materials to support sustainable forestry practices.
Truong Thang only uses sustainably sourced FSC-certified wood materials.
