Extendable Dining Table, 110 x 80 x 75 cm, Black

Built for the way a kitchen actually gets used, this extendable dining table has a stable frame, a top with a wipe-clean finish and enough room for serving dishes in the middle. The Black finish is applied evenly and sealed, keeping the piece crisp against paler walls and modern flooring.

The MDF boards are thick, edged and finished on both faces, which keeps the unit rigid under load and free from the bowing cheaper panels show. The base is braced and the back panel is fixed, so the unit stays square even on a floor that is not quite level.

Key features

• The top is thick enough to take a clamp for a high chair or a lamp, and the underside is sealed against spills
• Levelling feet take up the difference on an uneven floor, so the table does not rock while people are eating
• The frame is set inboard from the edges, which means nobody at the table is straddling a leg
• Dimensions: 110 x 80 x 75 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 24 kg
• Materials: MDF
• Colour: Black

It sits comfortably in an open-plan room, where the table needs to work for meals, work and the odd board game. Keep it out of direct sunlight for long periods, which can fade one edge faster than the rest.

A dry microfibre cloth handles daily dust, and a slightly damp cloth is enough for marks; dry the surface straight away to protect the finish.

A table that adapts to the day rather than the other way round.
