Here is an illustrative pedestal dining table with a long, round-ended top on a single flared base. The configurator switches the top finish and offers two lengths, 198 cm and 244 cm, before sending a quote request.
With one central pedestal, there are no corner legs to dodge, so length is about how many people the household seats. The top finish is the harder call. White marble is the showpiece and asks for care with wine and lemon juice. Walnut is warmer and more forgiving. Plain white or black keeps the silhouette crisp and lets the base do the talking.

What you can configure
Top finish is what the swatches change: white, black, white marble and walnut, with grey marble and oak also in the range. Length is selected and summarised, though the image remains at one size. On a round-ended top, extra length stretches the straight sides while the curved ends stay the same, which shifts the proportions more than most people expect.

Why a configurator suits dining tables
Marble changes the conversation. Six tops in two lengths gives twelve tables, but every stone slab is different. Buyers paying for natural stone want to know whether the veining in the picture is what arrives. A configurator is the right place to say plainly that the image is representative, and whether slab selection is offered.
Dining tables of this size are heavy and often made to order. Lead time, delivery access and the number of people needed to place a stone top all vary by finish. Capturing top and length as structured fields means the warehouse and delivery team know exactly what is coming, not just a product title.
Furnishing retailers usually sell the table with chairs. Once the top and length are set, the configurator can suggest how many chairs fit and add them to the same order. That is useful advice for the buyer and a natural way to build a larger order without any hard sell. Chair count also shapes the delivery booking.
How a production version would be built
For a product led by its top, an image per finish and length works well: twelve renders from one 3D model, with the pedestal identical in each. Marble should come from real slab scans so the veining looks natural, which is where 3D product visualisation pays off. Behind the images sit finish names, care notes, lengths with seating guidance, and lead times. A production version can add a chair selector, send laminate and timber tops to a WooCommerce basket, and route stone tops to a quote.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Length choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if lengths can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about dining table configurators
How do we show marble veining when every slab is different?
Use a representative render built from a real slab scan, and say so clearly beside the image. If you offer slab selection, add a step that requests photos of the actual slab before production. Buyers of natural stone generally accept variation when it is explained before they order.
Can the configurator tell customers how many people each length seats?
Yes. Seating guidance sits in the product data for each length and appears in the summary as the buyer switches. On a pedestal table it is worth adding that the single base gives more knee room at the ends, which is often why people choose the style.
Can we sell chairs alongside the table in one configuration?
You can. After the top and length are chosen, the configurator offers compatible chairs with a suggested quantity, each in its own finish. The whole set reaches the basket or quote together, which is simpler for the buyer and for whoever schedules the delivery.
Can stone tops go to a quote while other finishes go straight to checkout?
They can. The configurator routes each build by rule, so a white or walnut top can go to the basket while a marble top triggers a quote with delivery questions. That suits tables where stone needs access checks or a two-person delivery before the price is confirmed.
