When shopping for solid wood dining tables, have you ever wondered why there is such a huge price difference when the designs are similar? The secret lies right in the 'width of the wooden board'! High-grade, premium solid wood (such as FAS grade) features a wide tabletop, allowing you to fully enjoy the beautiful, natural wood grain that isn't artificial. On the other hand, the more 'laminated wood'—made by joining together thin pieces of wood—the lower the grade and price become. Since a dining table is something you use for over 10 years once you buy it, make sure to check the width of the wooden board at the store to avoid getting ripped off!
