When we decided to add a banquette to our kitchen eat-in, I went on the hunt for a trestle dining table to pair with it. Having a trestle table instead of a traditional four legged table would allow us to pull the table closer to the banquette and get in and out of it easily.
Today I’m sharing all of my favorite trestle dining tables that I found in my search including the one I ended up choosing. Ready to see?! (post includes commissionable links; for more information, see my full disclosure statment {here}).
Some of my favorite finds have a traditional trestle dining table design including {this extending trestle table} that comes in two sizes and three finishes:
While other favorites have a more contemporary design including {this dining table with a painted finish}:
These are all ten of favorites:

Modern white oak table (also available in natural and ebony finishes) | 6. Mango dining table | 7. Extending baluster post table | 8. Distressed ivory trestle table (also available in distressed brown) | 9. X-shaped smoked white table (also available in brown & gray) | 10. Raw wood trestle table

So which one did I end up with? I chose {this trestle table} in the seadrift finish and couldn’t be happier with it:
Other Sources: DIY banquette | Capiz pendant (22.5″) | Geometric gray rug | Large blush abstract framed art | Blue floral framed art | Pink floral framed art | Slipcovered dining chairs (similar) | Table runner no longer available
This table is also available as an extending table in three sizes and five finish options {here}. It has a slightly distressed top which I love because it hides any nicks and imperfections really well.
I waxed my new table in order to seal and protect it and now that we’ve fast forwarded several years, I can tell you that it’s help up beautifully! See my post on how to protect a wood table for all of the details of how to wax your table and what wax and other supplies to use for the best result.
Thanks for stopping by the blog!

Hi Molly! There are links to each of the table under the last image of the post – if you click on the “three” it will take you to the source!
Liz says
Love these tables and the post. What do you recommend as chairs to go with them that are kid-friendly (or spill friendly!).
Thanks!
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Liz! This post has some good inexpensive chair options including some that are super kid friendly: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/inexpensive-dining-chairs/

You are so super sweet to take the time to let me know that Emily! I actually lucked upon a RH pedestal table at our local RH Outlet a few weeks ago and am really happy with it!
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Gayla – believe it or not we’ve had so much going on that we we haven’t gotten any further on our kitchen banquette since this post! It’s on my to-do list to finish in February and I’ll be posting dimensions and the step-by-step how-to once it’s finished. Good luck with yours!

Dang, why can’t I add “handy” to the list of my husband’s best qualities (he’s pretty much as un-handy of a guy as you can get). I bet that someone with a little bit of experience could totally build a killer table for a fraction of the RH price. I’m worried that I would buy all of the wood and just totally mess it all up and still have to buy one 🙂
Kris Jarrett says
Never heard of Canadel but I will look into it! Thank you!
Kris Jarrett says
That Etsy shop is quite a find – they have beautiful tables! Why can’t they be in CT?!! 🙂
Kris Jarrett says
I’ve never heard of Urban Barn but that looks almost exactly like the RH table I love but for much less! Thanks for the tip!
Kris Jarrett says
Thanks so much sweet friend!
Kris Jarrett says
Thank you girl – I’m pretty excited about it. Yes, if you find yourself near an RH Outlet any time this month, let me know if they have any natural trestle tables! I’m not so sure how successful it’s going to be waiting to get a call from the outlet when one comes in – unfortunately our outlet is an hour and a half away so not so easy to just drop by!
Kris Jarrett says
Yes, please do! Have you seen the parquet table at World Market? It was on sale for under $300 a few weeks ago (I don’t know if it still is or not) and is so pretty. Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me because it has a typical table base.
Kris Jarrett says
Thanks Stacy – hopefully it will all come together in the next few weeks!
Kris Jarrett says
Ooohhh… that’s so lucky – your table sounds like it would be right up my alley! I’m officially on the Craigslist hunt!
Kris Jarrett says
Thank you Danielle – that’s great to know!! I looked once last week and there was nothing but now I’ll know to keep at it. Fingers crossed that one appears!!
Kris Jarrett says
That banquette had better be good when it’s done – it’s been trouble, trouble, trouble!
