Price History
Description
With its raw, masculine edge and contemporary appeal, the Tennyson dining table brings a generous helping of character to mealtimes. Its rough oak top features a light burnt finish that accentuates the natural wood grain, while metal capped edges give an industrial touch to its profile. Set upon a slim trestle-style base of cast iron, there’s space for the whole gang to gather around. Surprisingly versatile, this table can take on almost any modern scheme.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Tennyson table for its blend of rustic charm and industrial edge, making it versatile across various interior styles. It works particularly well in open-plan kitchens or dining areas with a casual, laid-back vibe, but can also complement a more contemporary or minimalist scheme if styled thoughtfully. Practical styling tips include pairing it with a mix of vintage and modern chairs to add visual interest, and keeping the surface clear for everyday use to highlight its natural wood top. For occasional larger gatherings, it’s worth considering extending options or choosing smaller tables that can blend seamlessly around it. Overall, it’s a great choice for anyone seeking a durable yet stylish piece that anchors a dining space with character.

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.
