Extending Dining Tables

When you are measuring your room for an extending dining table and chairs make sure to find out the width of the table, both extended and closed to ensure it will fit. Ideally you want to leave enough space between the dining table and any walls for guests to move around with ease.

We understand everybody’s style is different and that’s why we offer a range of extending dining tables and chairs in different materials. From classic wood, to statement marble and modern high gloss finishes, you are sure to find a style to suit your home.

Our extending dining tables and chairs are available in a range of different sizes, starting from 1m all the way up to 2.5m to cater for all room sizes. All of our extending dining tables can be purchased alone or as a set with four or six dining chairs, but additional dining chairs can also be purchased separately.

As well as traditional extending dining tables, there are also a few other options to consider such as butterfly and drop leaf. Butterfly extending dining tables, as the name suggests, fold out like butterfly wings. They have a separate centre section which can be easily removed when you don’t need the extra space. Drop leaf extending dining tables are perfect for kitchens on the smaller side. Simply fold down the sides when not in use to save space and extend when needed. You can also just fold down one side so it can be placed against a wall.

Buying a new dining table is an investment that you want to enjoy your many years and with a few quick tips you can do exactly that. If you are looking at classic oak wood extending dining tables and chairs, we would always recommend keeping these out of direct sunlight, radiators or other sources of heat as they can dry out which speeds up the wearing process. If you do have to place your dining table near a window, always try to keep curtains or blinds dipped when the sun is at its strongest. All of our extending dining tables and chairs are covered by a 12-month guarantee, but you can also purchase additional protection with our five-year furniture guard protection.

Depending on the material you choose for your furniture, there are a few different ways to keep your extending dining table and chairs looking brand new. Be sure to read the manufacturers guidelines that come with your furniture before using any cleaning products. Marble extending dining tables can be simply dusted 2-3 times a week with a dry, soft cloth to remove any dust or dirt. For a deeper clean, we recommend using hot soapy water and a damp cloth to remove any spillages, then dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid using dusting sprays or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the high lacquer finish. Our wood extending dining tables come complete with a protective finish to avoid staining, however regular dusting and cleaning with a damp cloth is key to ensuring you table remains looking its best. Gloss extending dining tables are ideal for modern living. Spillages are easy to wipe away with a damp cloth and dried with a lint-free cloth to avoid watermarks. Do take note to avoid putting too much pressure on the table, as gloss surfaces can scratch easily when overworked.
