What is the best wood for a tabletop?
The best wood for a tabletop will depend on the style and décor of your living space. Usually, cherry, walnut, hickory, and pinewood are used for wooden tabletops. A table is often a central point in a living or dining room, and the kind of wood chosen for this piece has an impact on the look and feel of the table.
