Extendable Dining Tables

Round, Oval and Rectangle Extendable Dining Tables

We’ve been in love with interior design since 2017, when our adventure began — and our team love an extendable dining table as much as you will. We’ve been helping customers across Ireland find the one that’s right for them. From built-in extensions to custom add-on extension leaves, we offer a variety of styles — round, rectangle and oval. An extendable dining table lets you get the best use of your dining space, and is especially useful when you want all your favourite people over for a meal.

Day to day it stays compact for your household; when guests arrive, it opens out to seat more — so you get one table that works for a quiet dinner and a full gathering, without a second piece of furniture taking up the room.

Round, oval and rectangle extendable dining tables

Shape is the first choice, and it comes down to your room and how you use it.

• Round extendable dining tables — sociable and space-saving, with no corners to work around. Most open out to an oval when you add the leaf, so they seat a crowd without dominating the room day to day.
• Oval extendable dining tables — soft lines that seat more people comfortably, with the easy flow of a round table and the length of a rectangle.
• Rectangle extendable dining tables — the classic shape for longer rooms and bigger numbers, and the most flexible for seating people along both sides.

Built-in and add-on leaf extensions

Our extendable tables extend in one of two ways. Built-in extensions store the extra leaf within the table itself, so it’s always to hand and opens out in moments. Add-on leaves are separate sections you drop into the centre and store away — in a cupboard or flat — when you don’t need them. Both give you the same result: a table that grows when you need it to.

How to choose an extendable dining table

A few things worth thinking through before you decide:

• Everyday vs extended seating — how many you seat day to day, and how many when the table’s open. Buy for both.
• The space around it — allow room to pull chairs out and walk behind them, at the table’s full extended length, not just its everyday size.
• Shape for your room — round and oval suit smaller or open-plan spaces and awkward corners; rectangle suits longer rooms and larger numbers.
• Material and finish — how it looks, and how it wears and cleans over time.
