GUIDE: MADE TO ORDER DINING TABLES

Who’s at the head of the table? You are. When you shop South + English’s flexible dining table program called MADE TO ORDER (MTO among friends). With a series à la carte options, you can create the perfect MTO dining table from the bottom up. Here’s how it works.

Your MTO dining room design starts with the selection of a table base, generally a pedestal. After the base is selected, you’ll top it off.

Round table tops are available in diameters of 42, 54, 60 and often 72 inches. Oval and Rectangular tops are typically offered in two dimensions: 79×40 and 84×44. A spacious 96×48 is also offered on some (generally double-pedestal) styles.

To understand how tops and bottoms pair, simply visit our MTO dining table product pages.

With table base and top happily “married,” you’ll next consider the just-right finish, choosing from a liberal and lovely palette of MTO finishes. Designers love combination finishes, that is, using two complimentary finishes for base and top. Mixed finishes are among our favorites too.

To wrap it up, give your dining table creation a bit of edge: Specify a beveled or flat edge.

We have a date for dinner. Order from  MTO’s very robust standard finish options for lead times at the top of industry standards. Bespoke customization, as described below, requires a bit more time.

With so many size, shape, material and finish options, Made to Order (MTO) dining table options are simply exponential. Yet for some, more is needed. South + English is delighted to partner with you on bespoke dining table designs. We too are designers and understand client, floor plan, and aesthetic needs vary from project to project.

Every custom dining table is unique and made to order in our U.S. workroom. Here’s a handy overview of our custom process:

  • First, an existing dining table is always the starting point for bespoke customization.
  • To begin in earnest, show us your specs. Pictures speak louder than words, so rough sketches with detailed notes help light the way. Notes on desired dimensions, design adjustments and finish refinements are especially welcome.
  • Shortly thereafter, we’ll then connect with you one-on-one to ensure a shared understanding.
  • Next, you’ll see shop drawings and a full quotation, both for your final approval.
  • Of note, custom orders must be paid in full before production begins and no returns are allowed. We really are making the piece just for you.
  • S+E will keep you apprised of lead time, but overall you may expect delivery 8-15 weeks after sign off.

Ready to make our day with a custom MTO challenge? Just email or call now. Let’s design together.
