This solid oak dining table features a four plank table top that consists of 4cm bevelled edge planks with later additional slide-in extension leaves for versatile dining options.

Everything is held in place by a central lower stretcher.

The table measures 160 cm wide without extension leaves and 270 cm wide with extension leaves added, which comfortably seats up to 12 people.

In great condition, the table has been cleaned and polished and the legs have been tipped to provide adequate under-table knee height.
