Tablemaker – Bespoke Oak Tables and Commercial Furniture Crafted in North London

In a market flooded with disposable furniture and one-size-fits-all designs, Tablemaker stands apart. Based in Hornsey, North London, we specialise in designing and crafting custom oak tables, oak table tops, and tailored commercial tables built to last. We serve both private clients and the trade, offering handcrafted, made-to-measure furniture with real substance and soul.
Whether you’re a café owner looking to furnish your new premises with stylish yet durable cafe tables, or an interior designer sourcing refined restaurant tables that fit your client’s brief down to the millimetre, we make furniture that does more than fill a space — it completes it.
What We Do
At our workshop on 55 High St, London N8 7QB, we build solid wood tables and surfaces to order, based entirely on your specifications. Our core offering includes:
- Commercial tables designed for high-traffic environments like offices, cafes, pubs, and hospitality venues.
- Cafe tables and restaurant tables that balance aesthetics with durability.
- Custom oak tables tailored for home dining, workspaces, and multifunctional interiors.
- Oak table tops cut to size — ideal for clients who already have bases, frames, or specific design needs.
Each piece is carefully built using traditional joinery and finished with hardwax oil — a protective, food-safe finish that brings out the natural texture of the wood while offering excellent resistance to wear.
Built for Purpose, Made with Care
We don’t believe in shortcuts. No MDF. No veneers. No mass production. Our tables are built using full-stave European oak, American black walnut, and birch plywood — all responsibly sourced, stable, and suitable for long-term use.
Unlike standard flat-pack furniture, our pieces are designed to be both assembled and disassembled without compromising structural integrity. That means you get the convenience of flat-pack delivery with the strength and repairability of traditional joinery.
We’re often approached by clients with a clear vision but no off-the-shelf solution to match. Sometimes it’s a tight space, an unusual layout, or simply a preference for better materials. That’s where Tablemaker shines — we tailor every dimension, angle, and finish to ensure your furniture is exactly what you need it to be.
Who We Work With
We collaborate with a wide range of customers:
- Business owners furnishing cafes, bars, or coworking spaces
- Interior designers and architects sourcing furniture for hospitality or office fit-outs
- Homeowners wanting a statement dining table that fits their space and lifestyle
- Developers and contractors needing reliable, UK-made solutions for short turnaround projects
No matter the size of the order, our process stays personal. You’ll deal directly with our small, skilled team — not a sales department or third-party rep.
Why Oak?
Our most requested products are custom oak tables and oak table tops, and for good reason. Oak is a timeless, hard-wearing hardwood with a clean grain and warm finish that suits both modern and traditional interiors. It’s easy to care for, takes a finish beautifully, and can be resurfaced if needed — making it perfect for commercial settings and busy homes alike.
If you need a surface that will age gracefully, hold up to use, and continue to look great with minimal maintenance, oak is your answer.
Bespoke Means Bespoke
Customisation is at the core of what we do. Whether you’re ordering a single table or dozens of cafe tables for a franchise rollout, you can customise:
- Dimensions (length, width, height)
- Edge profiles and shapes (rectangular, round, oval, custom)
- Wood species and colour
- Finish options (natural, tinted, matte, satin)
- Leg styles, placement, and cable management cut-outs
Not sure what size is best? We offer guidance and resources to help you get it right the first time, including sample swatches you can order online. You can even send us a sketch or photo of what you’re looking for — we’ll work with you to make it real.
Delivery & Assembly
Although we’re based in London, we offer UK-wide delivery, excluding Northern Ireland. All of our tables are built flat-pack for transport and designed for easy assembly, but they’re far more stable than typical flat-pack furniture thanks to the robust joinery and materials used.
We can also arrange trade courier delivery depending on your schedule and location.
Quality That’s Backed by Clients
We’re proud to say we have 100% five-star reviews on Google — a reflection of the effort we put into every project and the trust we’ve built with our clients. Whether it’s the precision of our workmanship, the responsiveness of our service, or the finish of the final product, customers repeatedly tell us they’d order again — and they do.
“Outstanding build quality, fast turnaround, and a table that looks and feels far better than anything I could find online.”
