43.3-59 Inch Extendable Round Dining Table for 6-8 People

About this piece

A dining table for the room it has to fit rather than the one in the photograph.

It is rated to 110 lb.

It extends from 43.3 in to 59 in, which moves it from an everyday table to a table for guests without either size being a compromise.

Details worth knowing: the slat bearings are damped, which is where bed noise comes from.

The honest capacity of a table is its usable edge divided by about 24 inches per diner, and the room around it needs roughly 36 inches of clear floor on any side people walk down.

Dining pages state the seated capacity rather than only the tabletop size, because the two are not the same question: a table that fits six place settings does not necessarily leave room to push six chairs back. Where a table extends, both lengths are given. The rest of the room is on kitchen & dining, and the sizing arithmetic is in How Big a Dining Table Do You Actually Need.

The same specification table appears on every page of iPormis dining tables, which is the point of publishing it: two models are only comparable when the same figures are given for both.
