Extendable Dining Table, 160 x 80 x 76 cm, Wood

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 Wood tone is even across the panels, so the piece reads as one solid unit rather than a patchwork.

Quality MDF panels, properly braced at the back and base, give the piece the weight and stability to sit square on an uneven floor. 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: 160 x 80 x 76 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 37.05 kg
• Materials: MDF
• Colour: Wood

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.

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and use a mild wood cleaner only when needed, drying as you go so moisture never sits on the edges.

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