Oak Extending Dining Table 6-10

Description

Solid Oak Extending Dining Table

Look, if you want a table that looks brand new forever, buy plastic. This is real wood. It has knots, it has grain, and yes, it will scratch if your kids drag heavy toys across it. But it is solid, heavy, and does the job it was built for.

We build these tables to be used, not just looked at.

The oak extending dining table 6-10 seating setup gives you extra room when the family turns up. It is not magic. It is just a straightforward extension mechanism that works. You pull the leaves out, they slide into place, and you have got room for more plates.

It is heavy, so get some help lifting it. Don’t try to move it on your own unless you fancy a trip to the osteopath.

We use solid oak for the frame and real oak veneer on the center panels to keep it from warping. Wood moves. Veneer on the flat center panels stops the table from splitting when your central heating kicks in during winter.

We finished it with a basic natural oil. It protects against the odd spilled cup of tea, but if you leave red wine sitting on it overnight, it will stain. Clean your messes up.

If you need chairs to match, we sell them. Take a look at our Kitchen Tables or check out our full Kitchen & Dining Furniture Sets to get the lot sorted in one go.

“This thing is a beast. Took two of us to get it through the door, but it does not budge. The extension is simple and does not jam like my old pine table.”

Frequently Asked Questions

General Care & Delivery

How do I clean daily spills?
Wipe it with a damp cloth immediately. Do not leave water standing on the surface or it will leave a mark.

How long does standard delivery take?
We deliver within five business days and give you a tracking number to follow the progress.

Does the wood need regular oiling?
Yes, rub a thin layer of natural furniture oil into it once or twice a year to stop the wood from drying out.

Can I place hot pans directly on the table?
No, hot dishes will burn the wood or leave white rings. Always use a decent trivet or placemat.

How do I handle sticky messes?
Use mild soapy water on a wrung-out cloth, then dry it off straight away with a clean towel.

Pre-Purchase Questions

How many people fit around the oak extending dining table 6-10 size?
It sits six people comfortably when closed, and you can squeeze up to ten when fully extended if you do not mind sitting close.

Is the table sturdy when fully extended?
Yes, it is heavy solid wood. It does not sag or wobble like cheap flatpack tables when you lean on the edge.

Will the extension leaves match the table grain exactly?
No, because they are cut from different pieces of timber. Wood is a natural product, so expect variations in colour and grain pattern.

Is this table durable enough for a busy family house?
It is tough, but it is not indestructible. It will get scratched and dinged over the years, but unlike plastic, you can sand it down and refinish it later.

Troubleshooting & Styling

Can I mix this oak table with different wood chairs?
Yes, trying to match wood tones perfectly usually looks artificial. Contrasting wood or painted chairs look much more natural.

How do I make this table work in a small dining room?
Keep it closed at 170cm for your daily meals to save floor space, and only pull out the extension leaves when you actually have guests over.

How do I fix minor scratches on the oiled finish myself?
Give the scratched area a light rub with fine sandpaper along the direction of the grain, then apply a bit of natural oil with a clean cloth.
