Know before you buy
The Hartford Trestle table features a specialized expanding base design where the four legs extend along with the tabletop. This ensures the support structure is always centered and balanced, preventing sagging or tipping even at its maximum length.
To reach the full 246-inch length, the table utilizes up to 14 removable leaves. Because of the sheer number of leaves, you will need to plan for dedicated storage space when the table is not fully extended.
Yes, the table is highly customizable. You can select different wood types and finishes for both the base and the top to create a two-tone look or ensure a perfect match with your existing dining room furniture.
The edge style is primarily an aesthetic choice that changes the profile of the tabletop. Options like Mission or Bevel offer sharper, more defined lines, while Roundover or Waterfall edges provide a softer, more rounded profile that is often more comfortable for resting arms.
While it is designed for grand entertaining, it is built from solid wood and is perfectly durable for daily use. The main consideration is the size; ensure your dining room can comfortably accommodate the base size of 42" x 78" or 48" x 78" when the leaves are removed.
No, this table does not require assembly. It is delivered as a finished piece, though given its size and weight, we recommend having professional assistance to position it in your home.
