Know before you buy
The table features two self-storing leaves that tuck away neatly inside the frame when not in use. This allows you to transition from an 80-inch length to a full 114-inch length without needing to find separate storage space for the leaves.
The table is crafted from unfinished solid teak. If left outdoors, the wood will naturally weather to a soft, silvery-gray patina over time; if you prefer to maintain the original honey-brown color, you will need to apply a teak sealer or oil periodically.
With a height of 29 inches and a width of 45 inches, this table is designed to pair well with most standard outdoor dining chairs. Its versatile aesthetic complements both teak and wicker seating styles.
Yes, the table includes a 2.5-inch diameter umbrella hole in the center. It is compatible with most standard outdoor umbrellas, though you should ensure your umbrella pole fits the diameter and that you use a weighted base for stability.
When fully extended to 114 inches, the table comfortably accommodates 8 to 12 people. When closed at 80 inches, it is sized for 5 to 6 people.
Weighing 158 pounds, this is a substantial, heavy-duty piece of furniture. Its solid teak construction and mortise and tenon joinery provide excellent stability, making it well-suited for outdoor environments.
