Smoked Oak Ext Dining Table 140/180

The Smoked Oak Extending Dining Table is more than just a piece of furniture; it is the heartbeat of the home. Designed for those who view dining as an event rather than a routine, this table provides a magnificent centerpiece for spacious dining rooms. With its generous 90cm depth and clever extending mechanism, it effortlessly transitions from intimate family dinners to lively celebrations with friends.

Whether you are hosting a formal holiday feast or a casual Sunday brunch, this table offers the structural integrity and aesthetic “wow factor” required to anchor your dining space.

Engineering for Connection: The Extension System

What truly sets this table apart is its practical, user-friendly design. Measuring 140cm in its standard form, it comfortably seats six diners with plenty of elbow room. However, for those occasions that demand more, the table extends to a full 180cm, comfortably accommodating up to eight people.

Unlike many inferior tables that require you to find a cupboard or under-bed space for the extension pieces, this table features a self-storing leaf system. The extension leaf sits neatly inside the table frame when not in use, making the transition from six to eight seats a smooth, one-person task that can be completed in seconds.

The Significance of the 90cm Depth

While many standard dining tables settle for an 80cm or 85cm depth, the Smoked Oak Extending Table offers an extra-generous 90cm depth. This may seem like a small detail, but in practical terms, it is a game-changer.

This extra space allows for:

• Central Serving: Plenty of room for water pitchers, wine coolers, and large serving platters without encroaching on guest place settings.
• Decor and Centerpieces: Space to display floral arrangements or candles while still maintaining a clear “no-clutter” zone for plates and glasses.
• Comfort: Diners sitting opposite each other enjoy a greater sense of personal space, making for a more relaxed and premium dining experience.

Sophisticated Smoked Oak Finish

The beauty of this table lies in its unique grey-washed smoked oak finish. This isn’t your typical golden oak; the “smoked” process enhances the depth of the natural grain, resulting in a contemporary, sophisticated tone that bridges the gap between traditional and modern decor.

Finished with a high-quality matt lacquer, the table boasts a low-sheen protection that highlights the wood’s organic texture while providing a robust barrier against the hazards of a busy dining room. This protective layer resists daily wear, minor spills, and the heat from serving dishes, ensuring the table remains pristine for years to come.

Built to Last: Materials and Craftsmanship

Invest in quality that lasts a lifetime. This table is constructed using a blend of solid oak and premium oak veneers. The solid oak provides the heavy-duty framework and legs required for stability, while the engineered veneers on the tabletop ensure a perfectly flat, warp-resistant surface that can handle the shifting temperatures of a kitchen or dining environment.

• Architectural Statement: The thick-cut legs and clean lines give the table a grounded, high-end feel.
• Daily Durability: Designed to withstand the rigors of family life, from homework sessions to elaborate dinner parties.
• Easy Maintenance: A simple wipe with a damp cloth is all that is needed to maintain the luster of the matt lacquered finish.

Complete the Look

To create a cohesive and harmonious dining environment, we recommend pairing this table with seating from our wider Dining Furniture collection. Choosing matching chairs or benches ensures that the grey-washed tones flow seamlessly throughout your room, creating an inviting space that guests will never want to leave.
