Contemporary Dining Tables | Festive Collection

An extendable dining table is a practical solution for homes that need both space-saving everyday dining and extra seating for guests. When closed, the table remains compact and suitable for daily use, making it ideal for kitchens or dining rooms where space is limited. When friends or family visit, the table can be extended using additional leaves, creating more room for guests without needing a permanently large table. This flexibility makes extendable tables a popular choice for dinner parties, family gatherings, and entertaining. Because our tables are handmade to order, many designs can also be customised in size and extension configuration, allowing you to choose a table that works perfectly for both everyday dining and hosting larger groups.

The number of guests an extendable dining table can seat depends on the table size and the number of extension leaves. In many cases, a table that seats 4–6 people when closed can expand to accommodate 6–10 guests when extended. For larger designs, the seating capacity can increase even further depending on the extension configuration. Each product listing includes a size guide table showing table dimensions, seating capacity, and leg spacing to help you understand how many guests can be seated comfortably.

Our extendable dining tables are designed to adapt to different seating needs while maintaining a clean and elegant appearance. Integrated extension leaves allow the table to expand for larger gatherings and return to a more compact size for everyday use. For extendable round dining tables, you can choose between one leaf, two leaves, or a single larger leaf, depending on how much additional seating you require. Leaves can also be made in customised sizes to suit your space and seating preferences. For rectangular extendable dining tables, extension panels fit neatly into the ends of the table, either on one side or both sides. These leaves are stored separately, keeping the tabletop spacious and uninterrupted when the table is not extended. As a general guideline, allow approximately 40–60 cm of table space per guest so everyone can sit comfortably. This helps determine how many people your extendable dining table can accommodate when fully extended. Each table is handmade to order in our UK workshop using solid oak or reclaimed wood for durability and character, and can be customised in size, finish, and configuration to suit your home.

The best extendable dining table size for entertaining depends on how many guests you typically host. Many people choose a table that works comfortably for everyday dining, then rely on the extension leaves to provide additional seating when needed. For example, a table designed for 4–6 people in its compact form can often extend to seat 8–10 guests, making it ideal for occasional gatherings. Each listing includes a detailed size guide to help you understand the seating options for different table sizes.
