What customers say
The Imperial table is celebrated for its striking modern design, instantly enhancing any dining area. Its quality materials, including the ceramic or glass top and sturdy base, are highly praised for durability and stability.

Know before you buy
The table features double-sided extensions that are cleverly stored directly beneath the tabletop. When you need extra seating, the leaves slide out from the ends, allowing you to expand the surface without needing to find separate storage space.
You can choose between glass, ceramic, or wood veneer. Glass offers a sleek, reflective look; ceramic provides high durability and heat resistance, making it ideal for busy dining rooms; and wood veneer brings a warm, natural texture to the space.
The pedestal base is designed with a sculptural Greek-key motif that is positioned to provide a stable anchor while maximizing legroom. Because it is a central pedestal rather than four corner legs, it allows for more flexible seating arrangements around the perimeter.
Yes, assembly is required upon delivery. Given the weight and the precision of the extension mechanism, we recommend having two people assist with the setup to ensure the frame and top are properly aligned.
Yes, the Imperial table is available in both rectangular and barrel shapes. The rectangular option offers a classic, structured look, while the barrel shape features slightly curved sides that can help soften the visual impact of a large dining table.
This table is designed by Pocci & Dondoli and manufactured in Italy by Bontempi Casa, adhering to high standards of European craftsmanship.
