Marble Dining Tables India Buyers Guide
Decora HubLast updated: May 2026. Written by the DecoraHub design and manufacturing team, based on four years of building, shipping, and servicing marble dining tables for Indian homes across 100+ cities.
If you are searching for a marble dining table in India right now, you are walking into one of the most confusing furniture categories in the country. The same phrase — "marble dining table" — covers everything from a ₹12,000 printed-laminate piece on Amazon to a ₹3,00,000 imported Italian Carrara table at a Linking Road gallery. Most buyers do not know they are looking at four completely different products.
This is not another generic listicle. It is the guide we wish more buyers had read before they messaged us asking why their "marble" table cracked, why the gold legs flaked within a year, or why the dealer disappeared after the cheque cleared. We make these tables. We deliver them across India. We have seen what works in real Indian homes — and what does not.
By the end of this guide, you will know exactly what to look for, what to avoid, and what a realistic budget actually buys you in 2026. If you want to skip ahead and just see what we make, our full marble dining tables collection is here. Otherwise, settle in — this is the long version, and the details matter when you are spending ₹50,000 to ₹2,00,000 on a table you will use twice a day for the next decade.

1. Are marble dining tables still in style in 2026?
Short answer: yes, and arguably more than ever. Indian interior design over the past five years has moved decisively away from heavy carved wood toward contemporary, transitional, and modern Indian styles — clean lines, neutral palettes, metal accents, open-plan layouts. A marble-top table on a slim metal base fits this direction naturally. A 200-kg carved rosewood dining set, beautiful as it is, looks increasingly out of place in a 1,200 sq ft Mumbai or Bangalore apartment furnished with modular pieces.
What has changed is the marble itself. The current direction is towards engineered stone surfaces — particularly sintered stone — that look identical to natural marble but solve the staining, etching, and maintenance problems that made traditional marble impractical for daily Indian use. White on metal still dominates. Bold black, Calacatta-style gold veining, and warm beige tones are gaining ground. Slim profiles are in. Heavy double-pedestal traditional bases are out.
If you are worried that buying a marble dining table now will look dated in three years, do not be. Marble has moved from being a "trend" to being a category staple. What matters is buying the right kind of marble for the right reasons — which is what the rest of this guide addresses.
2. The four materials sold as "marble dining tables" in India
This is the most important section in this guide. If you read nothing else, read this. The gap between a ₹15,000 "marble" table and a ₹55,000 one is not "more marble" — it is an entirely different material. Four very different products are sold under the same label, and the differences in lifespan, performance, and appearance are enormous.
Sintered stone (the modern answer)
Sintered stone is what we use for our entire marble dining tables collection, and here is why. It is engineered by compressing natural mineral particles — quartz, feldspar, glass, mineral pigments — under extreme pressure and fusing them at over 1,200°C. The result looks and feels like premium marble, but is completely non-porous at the molecular level.
The practical implications in an Indian kitchen are significant:
- Turmeric does not stain. Leave haldi paste on sintered stone overnight and it wipes off with any household cleaner. Try the same with natural marble and you will spend ₹5,000+ on professional re-polishing.
- Acid does not etch. Lemon, tomato, tamarind, vinegar, curd — the things that cause permanent dull spots on natural marble — have zero effect on sintered stone.
- Heat resistance up to 300°C. A hot kadhai placed directly on the surface does nothing. We do not recommend making a habit of it, but it will not crack the slab.
- Scratch resistance at Mohs 7+. Higher than natural marble (Mohs 3–4) and harder than most kitchen knives, so general daily use does not mark the surface.
The catch: sintered stone is not technically "natural marble." If you specifically want quarried Italian or Makrana stone with its one-of-a-kind veining, you need natural marble — and the maintenance that comes with it. For most Indian families cooking with spices daily, sintered stone is the practical answer. This is the same material that has replaced natural marble in 90% of European luxury kitchens and high-end restaurants over the past five years.
Natural marble (Makrana, Carrara, Calacatta, Statuario)
Real quarried stone — the kind used in the Taj Mahal (Makrana) and in luxury Italian interiors (Carrara, Calacatta, Statuario). Every slab is genuinely one of a kind, and there is no question that natural marble has a depth and character that engineered stone cannot fully replicate.
Four common sources you will see in India:
- Makrana marble (Rajasthan): dense, hard-wearing white marble with soft grey veining. Quarried for over 500 years. ₹25,000–₹55,000 for a 6-seater top slab alone.
- Italian Carrara: bright white with dramatic grey veining. Quintessential luxury look. ₹50,000–₹1,20,000 for a slab.
- Calacatta gold: white background with bold gold/amber veining. The premium Italian choice. ₹80,000–₹2,00,000 for a slab.
- Statuario: near-pure white, minimal veining. Rarest and most expensive. ₹1,00,000+ for a slab.
What sellers usually do not tell you: natural marble is porous. It needs to be sealed before delivery and re-sealed every 12–18 months. Italian marbles, particularly Carrara, are also surprisingly soft — they etch readily from acids. A glass of nimbu-paani spilled and wiped only after dinner will leave a permanent dull mark on Carrara.
If you are prepared for that maintenance commitment, your budget is ₹1,50,000+, and you genuinely want quarried natural stone, this is the category to look at. For everyone else, sintered stone delivers 95% of the look at half the maintenance.
Composite marble (engineered marble)
Crushed marble powder mixed with polyester resin, pigmented, and moulded into uniform slabs. It looks more consistent than natural marble (no dramatic veining, no surprises). Costs significantly less — typically ₹15,000–₹30,000 for a 6-seater top.
It is not necessarily bad. For renters, short-term setups, or buyers who actively prefer a uniform look over natural variation, it is a sensible choice. But three things to know:
- It can yellow over years, particularly in sunny dining rooms.
- It warps under sustained heat — no hot vessels directly on the surface.
- It does not have the cool-to-touch feel of natural stone or sintered stone.
Buy it with eyes open. Do not pay natural-marble or sintered-stone prices for it.
Marble-finish laminate (not marble at all)
HDF or particle board with a printed marble-pattern laminate glued on top. This is what most "marble dining tables" listed under ₹20,000 on Amazon, Flipkart, and Meesho actually are.
The laminate peels within 2–3 years, especially in humid climates like Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and Kochi. The board underneath swells with moisture exposure. The "marble veining" is a printed pattern that repeats across multiple units — so your "unique" table is identical to every other one shipped that month.
Fine for a temporary paying-guest setup or a college rental. Not fine if you thought you were buying actual stone.
Quick comparison
| Material | Stain resistance | Heat resistance | Typical 6-seater price | Realistic lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sintered stone | ★★★★★ Excellent | Up to 300°C | ₹50,000–₹1,15,000 | 15+ years |
| Natural marble | ★★☆☆☆ Needs sealing | Moderate | ₹1,20,000–₹3,00,000+ | 20+ years with care |
| Composite marble | ★★★☆☆ Decent | Use trivets | ₹25,000–₹50,000 | 5–8 years |
| Laminate | ★☆☆☆☆ Poor | Low | ₹10,000–₹20,000 | 2–3 years |
3. Sizing for Indian dining rooms: 4-seater, 6-seater, 8-seater
Western furniture guides assume a 14×12 foot dining room. Most Indian apartments — even decent 3BHKs in Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, or Hyderabad — have a combined living-dining area of 12×10 feet or smaller. Sizing wrong is the most expensive mistake in this category because returning a 70-kg table is a logistical nightmare nobody wants.
The 90cm clearance rule
Before any sizing decision: you need 90 cm (about 3 feet) of clearance on every side of the table where someone will sit. This is the space a chair needs to pull out and a person needs to stand up without squeezing past furniture. Sides pushed against a wall only need 30 cm.
If you do nothing else from this guide, do this: tape out your intended table footprint on the floor with masking tape, add 90 cm on each seated side, and live with the boundaries for 48 hours before ordering.
The 4-seater marble dining table
Typical size: 120 × 75 cm rectangular or 100–110 cm round. Minimum room size: 8×8 ft.
The 4-seater is the right choice for 2 BHK apartments, young couples, small families, or anyone with a compact dedicated dining area. A round 4-seater saves corner space and naturally encourages conversation — it is our most-recommended configuration for studio apartments and 2 BHK city homes.
Avoid the temptation to "size up" — a 6-seater forced into a 4-seater space makes the room feel like a furniture warehouse every single day. Buy for daily use, not for the once-a-year Diwali dinner.
The 6-seater marble dining table
Typical size: 150–180 × 85–90 cm rectangular. Minimum room size: 10×8 ft.
The 6-seater is the bestselling size we ship — and for good reason. It fits the standard Indian 3 BHK dining space, seats the family comfortably for daily meals, and accommodates one or two extra guests during festivals or Sunday lunches without feeling overcrowded. We have shipped more 6-seaters than every other size combined.
Within the 6-seater range, the 150×85 cm size is more apartment-friendly; 180×90 cm gives more elbow room but needs at least 12×10 ft. Browse our 6-seater marble dining tables with size details on each product page.
The 8-seater marble dining table
Typical size: 220 × 100 cm rectangular. Minimum room size: 14×10 ft.
The 8-seater suits joint families, regular entertainers, larger 3 BHK apartments, and villas with dedicated dining rooms. It is also genuinely impressive as a centrepiece — if you host frequently and have the space, going to 8 seats is worth it.
One honest note: if your "8-seater need" is really "occasionally seats 8, mostly seats 4," consider a 6-seater extendable instead. An oversized table used at half-capacity daily feels emptier than a right-sized table used to capacity.
Size summary table
| Seats | Table size | Minimum room | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4-seater | 120 × 75 cm | 8 × 8 ft | 2 BHK, couples, studio flats |
| 6-seater | 150–180 × 85–90 cm | 10 × 8 ft | 3 BHK, most Indian families |
| 8-seater | 220 × 100 cm | 14 × 10 ft | Joint families, villas, entertainers |
4. Round, rectangular, or oval — choosing the right shape
Shape matters more than buyers realise. It changes how the room flows, how conversation happens, and how many people you can actually seat comfortably.
Round marble dining tables
Round tables encourage conversation — no head of the table, everyone equally engaged. They save corner space, which matters in compact rooms. A 110-cm round 4-seater fits into spaces that simply will not accommodate a rectangular table. The flip side: round tables are space-inefficient beyond 6 seats. A 6-seater round needs a 150 cm diameter — almost the same square footage as a rectangular 6-seater, but with awkward reach across the middle.
If you have a square-shaped dining space, a young family, or you genuinely value conversational dining, a round marble dining table is worth the consideration. We go deeper on this trade-off in a dedicated article on round tables.
Rectangular marble dining tables
The default for a reason. Rectangular tables seat more bodies per square foot of room than any other shape. If you regularly host 6–8 people, rectangular wins on pure capacity. They also align better with the geometry of most Indian dining spaces, which tend to be longer than they are wide.
Our bestselling 6-seater rectangular sintered-stone tables (150×85 cm) hit the sweet spot for the typical Indian 3 BHK — large enough for daily family use, small enough not to overwhelm the room.
Oval marble dining tables
Oval gives you rectangular capacity with the softer feel of a round table — no sharp corners, more forgiving in tighter walkways. Particularly good when you have small children or elderly family members navigating around the table multiple times a day. Slightly less common in the Indian market, but worth asking about if the geometry of your room favours it.
5. White, black, Italian veining, modern, bespoke — colour and style decoded
White marble dining tables
The default and most-requested colour for good reason. White marble (or white sintered stone) brightens the room, photographs beautifully, and pairs with virtually any decor palette — from minimalist Scandinavian to traditional Indian. It is also the most forgiving choice for resale value, since it does not lock you into a specific design direction.
One practical note: pure white shows up everything — every crumb, every smudge, every coffee ring if your table is natural marble. On sintered stone this is a non-issue because the surface cleans completely; on natural marble in a busy Indian household, consider a white-with-subtle-veining option rather than pure Statuario.
Black marble dining tables
Black marble (Marquina, or sintered stone in dramatic dark tones) is the dramatic choice. It anchors a room, hides smudges and minor marks far better than white, and pairs strikingly with gold metal bases. It is also more forgiving in homes with young children. The trade-off: black tables can feel heavy in small or low-light rooms, and they show dust more visibly than white. Best for larger, well-lit dining areas.
Italian-style veining (Calacatta, Carrara aesthetic)
The bold gold-on-white (Calacatta) or grey-on-white (Carrara) veining is the look most people picture when they imagine "Italian marble." You can get this aesthetic in three ways: imported Italian natural marble (expensive, maintenance-heavy), Indian Calacatta-pattern sintered stone (our most popular finish — the look without the maintenance), or composite marble with printed veining (budget option, less convincing in person).
Modern marble dining tables
"Modern" in the Indian context generally means: slim profile, metal base (gold, silver, rose gold, or matte black), clean rectangular or oval shape, minimal ornamentation. The opposite of carved wooden traditional tables. This is the dominant aesthetic direction right now and where most of our collection sits.
Luxury and bespoke marble dining tables
"Luxury" usually means premium materials (natural Italian marble, or top-tier sintered stone with dramatic veining), heavier construction, statement bases, and often custom sizing. "Bespoke" means built to your specifications — your size, your marble selection, your base finish, your number of seats. We offer full bespoke options across our entire dining table range; share your room dimensions and we will design around them.
6. The base nobody pays attention to (but absolutely should)
Buyers obsess over the marble top and barely look at the base. This is backwards. The top is the visible drama; the base is what determines whether the table will still be standing in ten years, whether the legs will rust through a Mumbai monsoon, and whether the gold finish will still look like gold three years in.
Stainless steel grade matters
This is the hidden quality differentiator most buyers never think to ask about. Two grades dominate the Indian furniture market:
- SS 201: low-nickel alloy. Cheaper. Rusts in high-humidity environments — Mumbai, Chennai, Goa, Kochi, Kolkata are particularly hard on it. This is what budget furniture uses.
- SS 304: the same grade used in commercial kitchen equipment, hospital surfaces, and food-processing plants. Significantly more corrosion-resistant. Costs about 40% more per kilogram. This is what we use in every base we make.
Ask the seller specifically: "Is this SS 304 or SS 201?" If they cannot answer, that itself is the answer. If you live in any coastal or high-humidity city, SS 304 is not optional — it is the difference between a base that survives ten monsoons and one that does not.
PVD coating vs electroplating
If you want a gold, rose gold, champagne, or coloured-black finish on the base, the coating technology matters enormously. Two methods dominate:
- Electroplating: a thin layer of metal deposited electrically. Cheap, fast, and used on most budget Indian furniture. Chips, peels, and tarnishes within 1–3 years, especially in humid environments. You have seen this happen — the gold flakes off and the chrome shows through.
- PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition): a vacuum-chamber process where metal ions bond to the steel surface at a molecular level. Scratch-resistant, corrosion-proof, colourfast. The same technology used on premium watch cases, high-end door hardware, and luxury bathroom fittings.
Every base we make uses PVD coating, not electroplating. The gold on year five looks identical to year one. This is one of the specific reasons our tables cost what they do — and one of the specific reasons cheaper "gold base" tables on marketplaces are not actually comparable products.
Solid wood bases — when they make sense
Sheesham, teak, and mango wood bases pair beautifully with marble tops, particularly for buyers leaning towards traditional or rustic Indian styles. Solid wood is warm, repairable (scratches sand out, unlike metal), and develops character over time.
The catch: "solid wood" is one of the most commonly misused phrases in Indian furniture retail. A claimed solid-Sheesham 6-seater base at ₹25,000 is almost always MDF with veneer. A real solid-wood base of that size weighs 30+ kg and costs ₹30,000–₹50,000 just for the base. If the entire table is ₹20,000 with claimed solid wood and a marble top, the maths simply does not add up.
7. Realistic 2026 pricing across every tier
Pricing in the Indian marble dining table market is deliberately opaque. Here is a transparent breakdown of what your money actually buys you at each tier, with no marketing fog.
| Price range (6-seater) | What you get | Where you find it | Realistic lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹10,000–₹25,000 | Marble-finish laminate on MDF, mild steel or veneer legs. Printed surface, not stone. | Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho | 2–3 years |
| ₹25,000–₹45,000 | Composite/engineered marble on SS 201 or basic frame. Real stone material but with limitations. | Mid-tier marketplaces, local showrooms | 5–8 years |
| ₹45,000–₹1,20,000 | Sintered stone or quality composite top, SS 304 PVD-coated frame, customisable, made to last. | D2C brands like DecoraHub | 15+ years |
| ₹1,20,000–₹3,00,000 | Natural Italian or Makrana marble, solid wood or premium steel base. Brand premium included. | Durian, CherryPick, Mumbai/Delhi galleries | 20+ years |
| ₹3,00,000+ | Imported Italian-made tables (Cattelan, Bonaldo). 40–60% of price is import duty and dealer margin. | Import galleries, design studios | Lifetime |
For context: our marble dining tables in India sit in the ₹42,999 to ₹1,15,999 range. We are a direct-to-consumer brand — no dealer network, no showroom rent on Linking Road or MG Road, no middlemen. Sintered stone slabs imported from premium quarries, SS 304 frames fabricated domestically, PVD coating applied in-house, sold direct. That is how we offer a 6-seater configuration at ₹54,999 that retails for ₹85,000–₹95,000 through a traditional showroom channel.
If a seller is offering "60% off" on a marble dining table, the original price was almost certainly fictional — work back from these realistic ranges instead.
8. City-specific buying notes
Mumbai
Linking Road and Lower Parel showrooms carry the largest selection of premium imported tables, but the markups are substantial — often 40–60% above online D2C pricing for comparable specs. Humidity is the bigger concern: anything with SS 201 base or electroplated finish will not survive Mumbai monsoons gracefully. Insist on SS 304 and PVD coating, regardless of price tier. Most of our Mumbai customers opt for sintered stone over natural marble specifically because of the climate.
Delhi NCR
Kirti Nagar and Gurgaon offer the densest selection of imported Italian options. Dry air is gentler on natural marble than coastal cities, so Carrara and Calacatta perform better here. Temperature swings (40°C+ summers to near-freezing winters) can stress wooden bases — solid wood is fine, but engineered wood/MDF bases are a long-term mistake in Delhi.
Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune
Moderate climates favour every category. The big challenge here is delivery to high-rise apartments — measure your lift dimensions before ordering an 8-seater. A 220×100 cm slab top often needs to be tilted on its side to fit; many service lifts in older 3 BHK buildings cannot accommodate this.
Chennai, Kolkata, Kochi, Goa
Coastal humidity is brutal on furniture. Natural marble seals break down faster — re-sealing every 9 months instead of 18. Electroplated bases corrode visibly within 2–3 years. Sintered stone + SS 304 + PVD coating is the only combination we genuinely recommend for these cities. We ship to all four regularly with no humidity-related complaints to date.
9. Care and maintenance in an Indian kitchen
Every generic furniture site says "wipe with a damp cloth." That is not useful advice when your family cooks with turmeric, tamarind, lemon, and ghee daily. Here is what actually matters.
The turmeric problem
Turmeric (haldi) is the number-one anxiety for every Indian family buying a light-coloured dining surface — and it should be. On natural marble, turmeric stains permanently within 30 minutes. The stone is porous, and curcumin (the yellow pigment) penetrates the micro-pores where no surface cleaning can reach it. Once stained, the fix is professional re-polishing — ₹3,000–₹8,000 depending on city.
On sintered stone, turmeric sits on the surface and wipes off with any kitchen cleaner, even after sitting overnight. We have tested this repeatedly across batches — it is the single most important reason we chose sintered stone over natural marble for our entire collection.
Daily care that actually works
After each meal: wipe the surface with a wrung-out microfibre cloth. That is genuinely it. No special cleaners required.
For sticky residues (ghee, jam, curry gravy): standard dish soap diluted in warm water, soft cloth, wipe dry.
What to avoid:
- Abrasive scrubbers like steel wool. Not because they will scratch sintered stone (they will not), but because they deposit micro-particles of steel that rust into brown spots that look like staining — when the problem is actually the scrubber residue.
- Acid-based cleaners (Colin Glass Cleaner, Vim, anything with bleach) on natural marble. These will etch the surface even on sealed stone.
- Dragging heavy utensils. Sintered stone is scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof. Lift cast-iron tawas, do not slide them.
Monthly and annual care
For sintered stone: nothing additional. Daily wiping is enough.
For natural marble: re-seal the surface every 12–18 months using a quality marble sealer (₹500–₹1,200 per bottle, available on Amazon or at any tile dealer). Application takes 20 minutes — wipe on, let dry, wipe off. This single habit doubles the lifespan of a natural marble table.
For the stainless steel base: wipe with a dry cloth weekly. In coastal cities, wipe with a slightly damp cloth monthly to remove invisible salt deposits. The PVD coating protects against corrosion, but salt crystallisation sitting long-term can dull the lustre.
For full detail on care, we have a separate marble dining table care guide with photos.
10. Nine mistakes Indian buyers make repeatedly
- Buying the table before measuring the room. Tape out the footprint on the floor, live with it for 48 hours.
- Assuming all "marble" tables are made of marble. Most under ₹20,000 are laminate. Check the material spec, not the photo.
- Ignoring the base finish. Cheap electroplated gold flakes within 2–3 monsoons. Ask specifically for PVD coating.
- Not asking the stainless steel grade. SS 304 vs SS 201 is the difference between a base that survives a decade and one that rusts in three years.
- Underestimating chair height. Dining tables are typically 75 cm tall; chair seat height should be 45–47 cm. Mismatched sets feel wrong every meal.
- Not planning the delivery path. A 6-seater top is 150–180 cm long and weighs 50–80 kg. Measure your lift, staircase, and front door before ordering.
- Skipping the warranty conversation. Reputable sellers offer minimum 1-year warranty on the base and transit damage replacement on the top. If a seller will not put it in writing, walk away.
- Buying natural marble without realistic maintenance expectations. If you cook daily with spices and lemon, sintered stone is the practical answer — even if Carrara looks prettier in photos.
- Treating "showroom price" as the real price. Indian furniture retail runs on inflated MRPs and permanent "discounts." Cross-check D2C online prices for comparable specs to know what is reasonable.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best material for a dining table in India?
For most Indian families cooking with spices daily, sintered stone offers the best balance — the marble aesthetic without the staining, etching, and maintenance burden of natural stone. For buyers willing to invest in care, natural Makrana or Italian marble offers unmatched character. Avoid engineered marble at natural-marble prices, and avoid laminate altogether for any table you want to keep more than 3 years.
How much does a marble dining table cost in India in 2026?
Realistic 2026 prices for genuine quality: 4-seater ₹35,000–₹80,000, 6-seater ₹55,000–₹1,20,000, 8-seater ₹90,000–₹1,80,000. Anything significantly below these ranges is composite or laminate, not solid natural marble or sintered stone.
What size marble dining table do I need for 6 people?
A 150–180 × 85–90 cm rectangular or 140–150 cm round table seats 6 comfortably. Your room should be at least 12 × 9 feet to accommodate it with the necessary 90 cm chair clearance on each seated side.
Are marble dining tables in style in 2026?
Yes — and increasingly so. Marble has moved beyond a trend into a category staple, particularly in Indian homes where it pairs naturally with both contemporary and transitional interiors. The 2026 direction is towards slimmer profiles, mixed materials (marble top + metal base), and engineered surfaces like sintered stone that solve traditional marble's maintenance problems.
What is the difference between marble dining table and marble top dining table?
"Marble dining table" typically refers to any dining table where the visible top surface is marble (or marble-like). "Marble top dining table" emphasises that only the top is marble — the base is usually metal or wood. In practice the terms are used interchangeably; almost all marble dining tables sold in India have non-marble bases, since solid-marble bases would be extremely heavy and expensive.
Can I put hot vessels directly on a marble dining table?
On sintered stone — yes, up to 300°C. On natural marble — technically yes, but thermal shock can crack a cold slab when a very hot vessel is placed on it, so use trivets. On composite marble — no, the resin warps. On laminate — absolutely not, the surface will burn.
Will the gold finish on the base last?
Depends entirely on the coating technology. Electroplated finishes (common on budget furniture) flake within 1–3 years, especially in humid cities. PVD-coated finishes (used in all our tables) are colourfast for the table's full lifespan — typically 15+ years with no visible degradation.
Can I customise the marble colour, size, and base?
On our tables, yes — every model is fully customisable on slab finish (Statuario white, Calacatta gold-veined, Marquina black, Armani grey), base colour (gold, silver, rose gold, matte black), and size. Share your room dimensions and we will recommend the optimal configuration. Custom orders typically ship in 4–6 weeks vs 2–3 weeks for stock configurations.
What about a marble dining table set with chairs?
Most of our tables ship as table-only, with optional matching chair sets. The reason: chair preferences vary enormously by buyer (upholstered vs metal, height, style, colour), and a fixed "set" forces compromises. Buying the table and selecting chairs separately almost always results in a better overall look and better seating ergonomics.
How long does delivery take across India?
Metro cities (Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad): 7–12 working days. Tier-2 and tier-3 cities: 12–18 working days. Custom orders add 2–3 weeks. Every table ships in protective packaging with a dedicated furniture-logistics partner — not standard courier. Professional assembly at your home is included.
