Know before you buy
The table includes two extension leaves that allow you to adjust the length based on your seating needs. The leaves are designed to integrate seamlessly with the table's solid hardwood construction.
The Antiqued Grey Oak finish features a sandblasted texture to highlight the natural grain, while all other available wood finishes are smooth to the touch.
The table provides a clearance of 25¾ inches under the apron. We recommend measuring your dining chairs to ensure the arms or seat height allow for comfortable clearance.
Because this piece celebrates the unique character of natural wood, it is best to avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and use coasters or placemats to protect the surface from moisture and heat.
Yes, the table is built using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, which is a hallmark of high-quality, long-lasting furniture. This construction method ensures structural integrity even with the weight of the solid hardwood.
The 72-inch version weighs 285 pounds, reflecting its substantial solid hardwood construction. Given its weight and the precision required for the extension mechanism, professional assembly is recommended.
