Round Dining Table Extend able

Description

Why an Oak Round Extendable Dining Table is the only sensible choice for a messy house

I have spent more time in a workshop than I have in my own living room over the last twenty years. I have seen every trend come and go. People come in asking for glass or high gloss because it looks sleek in a magazine, but I always tell them the same thing. If you actually plan to live in your house, buy Solid Oak. It is heavy. It is stubborn. And it is the only thing that will survive your kids and your Christmas parties.

Sociable dining area

This Oak Round Extendable Dining Table is a proper bit of craftsmanship. It is crafted from solid oak , not the flimsy stuff you find in flat-pack shops. When you first get it, you will notice the weight. That is ensuring strength . I always say that if a dining table doesn’t require two people to move it, it probably isn’t worth owning. This solid oak round piece is built to last .

The round dining table shape is a bit of a focal point for a reason. It is sociable . Unlike rectangular dining tables where you end up stuck at one end talking to the same person all night, the circular shape means everyone is seated at an equal distance . It promotes conversation and a bit of intimacy that you just don’t get with a rectangular table . It is ideal for family meals where you actually want to look at each other while you dine .

Dining Room focal point

If you have a smaller dining area or a kitchen that feels a bit compact , a round table is a space-saving lifesaver. There are no sharp corners for toddlers to crack their heads on, which is a big plus in my book. But the real trick is the extension mechanism . This is a round extending table that can transform when you need to entertain . You use the extendable dining feature to extend it into an oval or oval dining table shape. It is effortlessly done, and suddenly you have space for everyone to gather .

I have seen designs transform over the years, but tables made from hardwood like this stay timeless . The natural beauty of the oak finish brings a certain warmth to a dining room . It is not just about looks, though. The durability of solid oak means it can handle daily use and everyday meals without falling apart. Yes, it might get a little scratch here or there over the years, but that just adds to the rustic oak finish . If you are worried about that, read my guide on how to clean and maintain your oak sideboard because the same rules apply to your oak dining table .

Round Ext Round Dining table for 6 people

When you seat 6 people around the table , you want to ensure  they are comfortable for everyone at the table. A central pedestal design on a round extending dining set is better than four legs because no one has to straddle a table leg. It makes the dining experience  much better with a extendable round table and its ideal for smaller dining rooms. Whether it is for special occasions or just everyday living , these tables are crafted to stand the test of time .

If you are buying an oak sideboard to match, make sure the proportion is right for your dining space . You don’t want a massive 110cm unit dwarfing a small oak dining table. This round extendable dining setup works because it fits the sizes to suit most British dining rooms where space is at a premium. It is stylish but it doesn’t sacrifice functionality .

Look, elegant  tables are made to be used. Don’t treat it like a museum piece. This solid oak dining table is made from solid timber and it can take a beating. Put a bench on one side if you want to cram more kids in. Add a touch of your own style. Just know that this extending dining table is a gathering spot that will be there long after the cheap stuff has gone to the tip.

Common Questions

How many people can I actually fit around this? When it is round, you will get 4 people comfortably. Once you use the extending dining leaf, you can easily get 6 people around the oval top without everyone bashing elbows.

Is the extension leaf stored inside the table? Yes. I hate those tables where you have to hide the leaf under a bed. This one has the leaf tucked right under the top, so you just unclip and extend it whenever the in-laws turn up.

How do I stop the wood from marking? Look, it is a dining area , not a showroom. Spills happen. I recommend using a good wax or oil once every six months. If someone puts a hot mug down without a coaster, you might get a ring, but since it is Solid Oak , you can usually buff that out.

Is it hard to put together? Not really. The main table’s top comes as one big bit because of the extension mechanism . You just have to bolt the central pedestal or legs on. It takes about twenty minutes, but as I said, it is hardwood and it is heavy, so get a mate to help you flip it over.

Will it match my other furniture? The oak finish we use is a classic honey tone. It is designed to suit your home whether you have Rustic Oak Furniture or something a bit more modern. Oak has a timeless look that plays well with most bits and bobs.
