Love entertaining? Us too. Whatever the size of your space, with some thoughtful design planning, you can play host with a wooden extension dining table at the heart of your home. Here’s how to find the perfect, practical and functional extendable table for you, looking at size, shape and style for easy everyday living.
What shape table?
RECTANGLE:
A classic shape, the rectangle table is perfect for most homes, especially if you have a larger family, or are prone to a party or two.
ROUND/OVAL:
A small round table can help save space. An extension table that changes from round to oval can have a more familial feel.
What style table?
From mango to oak top to white cedar, our timber extension dining tables are available in a variety of finishes to suit your own style. Classic plain tops, unique parquetry designed tops, pedestal bases, straight legs, there’s a few to choose from.
The style and size of the dining chairs can also determine the number of seats you can fit around each table. Please note, our seating plans are based on our upholstered chairs, but using our Hamptons Cafe chairs you could seat more.

Simply pull the table top from either end, which automatically opens both sides, and remove one or two leaves from the middle of the table. Place the leaves on the metal runners and push the table top back together properly. You can then store the leaves again post-party.
DEAUVILLE EXTENSION DINING TABLE | RECTANGLE
The Deauville is our largest extendable dining table. The classic trestle pedestal legs allow for some serious entertaining, making it easy to fit more guests around the table. All in detailed parquetry designs, the style is utilitarian, yet with a quiet grandeur, and inspired by French Provincial style. The butterfly-leaf mechanism makes opening and closing this solid wood table effortless.

The butterfly 210-310cm has a bearing cable track that opens both sides together; the butterfly 180-280cm has standard timber runners that need to be opened manually at either end.

Stand on the side with the metal bar and just lift the timber hinged piece to a right angle, and then open the butterfly leaf – either just one or both to extend fully. Push the table top back together and you are set.
