Know before you buy
A 30-inch height is standard for dining chairs, while 36-inch counter height and 42-inch bar height are better suited for stools or casual standing areas. Choose the height based on the seating you intend to pair with the table.
The pedestal design is specifically engineered to maximize legroom by eliminating corner legs. The base diameter scales from 23 to 39 inches depending on your table size, ensuring a stable foundation that remains unobtrusive while you are seated.
The table features a gear-driven slide mechanism that allows you to pull the top apart to insert one or two leaves. Because it is a pedestal base, the table remains stable and centered even when fully extended.
Edge styles are largely a matter of personal preference, but they do impact the table's profile. A roundover or waterfall edge offers a softer, more modern look, while mission or ogee edges provide a more traditional, detailed aesthetic.
Yes, red oak is a dense, heavy hardwood known for its prominent grain pattern and excellent resistance to wear. It is a reliable choice for daily use, provided you maintain the finish with regular dusting and avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Yes, you can select from 1-inch, 1.25-inch, or 1.50-inch top thicknesses. A thicker top adds significant visual weight and a more premium feel to the table, though it will also increase the overall weight of the piece.
