Description
Simple yet stylish, the Penglai dining table welcomes all of life’s experiences – from hurried breakfasts to homework sessions and afternoon tea to afterwork drinks.;Its smooth cracked pepper top features clean lines and rounded edges, whilst the base is finished in a contrasting darker hue that reveals the multi-tonal texture of the wood. Classically designed but full of warmth, it is sure to be gathered around for many years to come.
Our Stylist Says
I love this table’s rustic charm and versatile size, making it an ideal statement piece for both casual and more traditional interiors. Its natural wood tone pairs well with a variety of colour schemes, from muted neutrals to darker, warmer palettes. To style it, consider complementing with organic textures such as woven placemats, matte ceramics, or vintage glassware. It works particularly well in open-plan kitchens, farmhouse-inspired dining rooms, or spaces that benefit from a slightly relaxed, lived-in feel. Practical tips include keeping the surface clear for everyday use and adding cosy seating options-whether cosy benches or upholstered chairs-to enhance comfort without compromising its robust aesthetic.

A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
