Know before you buy
The table uses ball-bearing guides and dovetail joinery to allow the top to slide open smoothly. The 18-inch leaf is stored directly inside the table, so you do not need to find extra closet space to keep it when not in use.
When the 18-inch leaf is inserted, the table expands from a 48-inch round shape to an oval measuring 66 inches in length.
The pedestal design is specifically engineered to maximize legroom. Because there are no corner legs, you can comfortably tuck chairs around the entire perimeter of the table without obstruction.
The cracked Oak veneer provides a textured, rustic aesthetic. To keep it looking its best, simply dust with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture, which can damage the wood finish.
Yes, its 48-inch round footprint is ideal for smaller spaces, as it eliminates sharp corners and creates a better flow in tight areas. The ability to extend it to 66 inches provides the flexibility to accommodate extra guests when needed.
