Know before you buy
Without the leaf, the table comfortably seats four people. Once you insert the 18-inch removable leaf, it expands to accommodate six guests.
Yes, the table features built-in leaf storage, so you don't need to find a separate closet or space to keep the extension piece when it's not needed.
The Greylan finish is a performance coating designed to resist most household spills while allowing the natural grain of the solid hardwood to show through. It provides a durable layer that makes daily maintenance easier.
While the table is built with scratch and heat-resistant properties, it is not heat-proof. You should still use trivets or placemats for hot dishes and avoid placing extreme heat or moisture directly on the surface to preserve the wood's finish over time.
For routine cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Be sure to address spills immediately to prevent moisture from penetrating the wood grain.
