Share
If you’re shopping for a custom table in Ottawa, you’re probably wondering the big question:
How much does a custom table actually cost?
Here’s a clear breakdown of what real homeowners in Ottawa pay for solid-wood, handcrafted tables — and what affects the price.
Average Cost of a Custom Table in Ottawa
Coffee Tables $900 – $1,800
Solid walnut, maple, elm, or oak. Thicker tops and premium hardwoods land at the higher end.
Dining Tables $2000 – $6,000
6–10 ft, 1.5–2” thick tops, live edge or modern designs.
Console / Entry Tables $500 – $1,400
Side / End Tables $300 – $900
Note: Prices vary with wood choice, thickness, and size.
Solid wood costs more upfront — but lasts decades and can be refinished.

What Affects the Price?
1. Wood Species
Wood choice is one of the biggest factors.
Most affordable → premium:
• Elm
• Maple
• Walnut
• White Oak
Walnut is the most popular in Ottawa homes right now — and the priciest.
⸻
2. Table Size
Bigger tables require more board feet and more build time.
Examples:
• 16×40” coffee table → 12–15 board feet
• 40×84” dining table → 45–60+ board feet
More wood = higher cost.

3. Tabletop Thickness
• 1” → more affordable
• 1.5–1.75” → premium
• 2”+ → statement piece
Thicker tops require higher-quality slabs, extra flattening, and more finishing time.
⸻
4. Legs / Base
Your base can swing the price significantly.
Common options:
• Black Steel
• Hairpin
• Flat-bar legs
• Custom welded base
• Matching hardwood base
Steel is the most popular for modern Ottawa homes.
⸻
5. Finish Quality
A good finish protects the table for decades.
Ottawa woodworkers typically use:
• Rubio Monocoat
• Osmo
• Polyurethane
• Hardwax oils
Premium finishes add cost but increase durability.
⸻
Why Custom Tables Cost More Than Store-Bought
When you choose custom, you’re paying for:
• Solid hardwood
• Handcrafted construction
• Local Ottawa craftsmanship
• Heavy-duty joinery
• Custom sizing
• Premium finishes
• White-glove delivery
• A piece that lasts 20–40+ years
Not veneer.
Not mass-produced.
Not disposable furniture that ends up in the dump in a couple of years.
⸻
How Long Does a Custom Table Take in Ottawa?
• Coffee tables → 2–3 weeks
• Dining tables → 3–6 weeks
Some shops quote 8–12 weeks depending on workload.
⸻
Why Ottawa Homeowners Choose Custom
Most people go custom because they want:
• Solid wood that lasts
• A size that stores don’t carry
• A specific wood (walnut, oak, maple, elm)
• Something built locally
• A piece that fits their home’s style
A custom table becomes a long-term piece — not a temporary one.
