Extendable Dining Table, 140 x 90 x 75.2 cm, Natural

This extendable dining table seats the household on a normal day and stretches for guests when they turn up, so the room is not defined by the table’s widest setting. The Natural tone is even across the panels, so the piece reads as one solid unit rather than a patchwork.

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: 140 x 90 x 75.2 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 49.6 kg
• Materials: MDF
• Colour: Natural

It fits a kitchen-diner, an open living space or a smaller dining room, and pairs with both benches and upholstered chairs. Leave enough room around it for chairs to pull out without scraping the wall.

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.

Simple, solid and easy to live with — mealtimes without the ceremony.
