Tips

Do you know that there are 3 versions of the beech wood? They are the American, European and Japanese beech woods.

The Japanese beech wood has the lightest brown color of all and is slightly lighter.

Beware of beetles in your house. Dining tables which are made from beech wood are prone to beetles' damage. How to avoid this problem? Thankfully, there are 2 solutions. First, you must ensure the table finishing remains intact and is working in good condition in order to give the table a protection layer. If there are signs showing the wood finish starting to wear off, then you better reapply finishing onto the beech table.

Secondly, keep your beech dining table dry at all times. Try not to allow any moisture content to soak into the wood. Get into the habit of wiping your beech table after lunch or dinner.

From afar, you might mistake it as an oak dining table. But when you take a closer look, you'll notice the visible pore lines on the beech.

As a warning, you should always check the finishing once in every few months. This is because the beech kitchen table contains pores. Finish that has worn off can cause foreign liquid to penetrate into the wood pores and stain the table.

If you ever stumble upon the term laminated beech veneer, do not panic. Laminated wood is a type of engineered wood (stronger), which typically consists of multiple wood panels stacked together. In actual fact, laminated wood is typically used for flooring purposes. Sometimes, you can find laminated beech wood used for making dining tables too. On the other hand, veneer simply means a thin layer of wood that is usually used for table tops.

If ever you are considering to invest in a new wooden dining set, you must include the possibility of buying the beech dining table.
