Know before you buy
The table features an innovative double-sided extension mechanism. The leaves slide out effortlessly from the ends and store discreetly underneath the tabletop when not in use, keeping the design clean.
When fully extended to 118 inches, the table comfortably accommodates up to 10 to 12 people, depending on the width of your dining chairs.
Ceramic is highly resistant to heat, scratches, and stains, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic dining areas. Wood offers a warmer, more traditional aesthetic but requires more careful maintenance to prevent moisture damage and surface scratches.
Yes, assembly is required for the Prora table. Given the weight of the materials and the complexity of the extension mechanism, we recommend professional assembly to ensure the table is perfectly leveled and the sliding components function smoothly.
The base is designed to balance structural stability with ergonomics. While the geometric shape is a focal point, it is positioned to allow for comfortable seating around the perimeter of the table without restricting leg movement.
