The Everett Extendable Solid Oak Dining Table is designed for homes that need the warmth and durability of a solid oak dining table with the flexibility of additional seating when required.
Crafted from solid oak wood, the Everett features a substantial rectangular tabletop, architectural pedestal-style legs and a discreet extension system that allows the table to expand for larger family meals, dinner parties and entertaining.
When closed, the Everett maintains the clean proportions of a contemporary oak dining table. When additional seating is needed, the tabletop extends to create more dining space without compromising the overall appearance of the design.
The natural grain, colour variation and character of genuine oak make every Everett dining table slightly different. Rather than using an oak-effect surface or thin veneer, the table is designed around the strength and longevity of real solid wood.
Solid Oak Construction
The Everett is made using solid oak, selected for its strength, natural grain and long-term durability.
Oak is particularly suitable for dining tables because it combines a substantial feel with a timeless appearance. Minor marks that occur after years of use can also generally be repaired, sanded or refinished more easily than on veneered furniture.
The wide solid-oak top and substantial timber legs give the Everett the visual weight of a statement dining table while retaining a simple contemporary form.
Extendable Dining Table for Everyday Use and Entertaining
The main advantage of the Everett is its ability to function as both an everyday dining table and a larger entertaining table.
For normal daily use, the table can remain in its compact configuration. When guests arrive, the extension system increases the usable tabletop length and creates additional seating positions.
This makes an extendable dining table particularly useful in Dubai apartments and villas, where customers may want generous dining space for entertaining without permanently occupying the room with an oversized table.
Current extendable-table manufacturers commonly use concealed mechanisms, removable leaves, butterfly leaves or internally stored extensions depending on the design.
Contemporary Architectural Design
The Everett uses broad, vertical oak supports rather than conventional four-corner legs.
This gives the table a more architectural appearance and allows the solid oak itself to become the main feature of the design.
Its simple geometry works particularly well with:
- Contemporary interiors
- Scandinavian interiors
- Minimalist homes
- Modern villas
- Natural-material interiors
- Neutral and earthy colour schemes
The table can be paired with timber dining chairs, upholstered dining chairs or a combination of chairs and a dining bench.
Custom Sizes and Oak Finishes
As a bespoke furniture manufacturer, the Everett can be produced in different dimensions depending on the dining space and required seating capacity.
Oak finishes can also be adjusted to suit the interior, including natural oak and other custom stain or finish options.
Before manufacturing a customised table, dimensions and details should be confirmed so that the extension mechanism, leg position and seating clearances work correctly.
Choosing the Right Size
As a general guide, allow approximately 60 cm of table width per person along the dining edge.
Typical rectangular dining-table lengths are approximately:
| Table length | Typical seating |
|---|---|
| 160–180 cm | 6 people |
| 200–220 cm | 6–8 people |
| 220–240 cm | 8–10 people |
| 260–300 cm | 10–12 people |
Actual seating depends on chair width, leg position and the exact extension arrangement.
For comfortable circulation around the table, leaving approximately 90 cm or more between the table edge and surrounding walls or furniture is preferable where the room allows.
