Know before you buy
With its maximum width of over 144 inches, this table comfortably seats 10 to 12 guests when fully extended. The two self-storing leaves allow you to adjust the length based on your specific gathering size.
Due to the table's significant weight of nearly 366 pounds and the complexity of the pedestal base, we recommend professional white-glove assembly. This ensures the pedestals are properly balanced and the leaf mechanism functions smoothly.
The leaves are integrated into the table's design, allowing them to be tucked away underneath the top when not in use. This eliminates the need for separate storage space and makes transitioning between daily use and hosting effortless.
To maintain the luster of the veneers, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Because it is a natural wood product, it is best to use coasters and placemats to protect the finish from heat and moisture.
The brass caps are designed as a decorative finish for the downswept legs. If you have hardwood or delicate flooring, we recommend applying felt pads to the bottom of the brass caps to prevent any potential scratching.
Yes, the dual baluster-turned pedestals provide a robust and balanced foundation for the large rectangular top. The weight of the mahogany and veneer construction ensures the table remains steady even when fully extended.
