This innovative dining table extends with ease and elegance, offering three possible lengths. When fully extended, this table can seat 12 to 14 people. The tabletop is made from engineered solid wood, a clever use of premium timber providing greater stability in this demanding application. Set upon sculptural legs, the tabletop opens effortlessly and holds the two leaves within a fabric lined compartment when not in use.

NOTE: When not in use, place the leaves within the fabric lined compartment as follows. One leaf should be placed face down into the fabric lined compartment. The other leaf should be placed face up on top of the first leaf, so the felt pads on the bottom of the two leaves meet.

NOTE 2: It is important to NEVER carry, lift or move the table by the upper leaves as this may damage the table. Always hold the table by the base when moving.
