Each piece is sold individually, so you can customize it to fit your needs. A solid wood dining bench can easily be tucked under the table or even put in another space until it is needed, whereas the modular upholstered dining room banquette pieces conspire to create a built-in look with tufted cushions, high backs and corner seating arrangements that allow for left or right configurations. Large tables, especially ones that expand to fit more people, become functional seating with a dining room bench. With the right furniture pieces, a small space can be transformed into a pleasantly functional floor plan. It can function as a kitchen table in an eat-in space, or even be an end table that converts to dining table during dinner in spaces that function as living, dining and sleeping areas. Our expandable tables address even those spaces with the box frame drop-leaf design. In smaller, studio-sized apartments, even a dinner for one guest can present a challenge. Our expanding dining table features an optional drop-leaf that easily and seamlessly expands the table to provide comfortable seating for up to 10. The sustainable solid hardwoods of our tables that are made in fair-trade certified facilities meet the demands and sensibilities of eco-minded consumers.

Making Memoriesĭining tables are where memories are made, meals are enjoyed and family gatherings are held, so the beauty and durability is built to last a lifetime. Our expanding dining room tables are versatile for holiday get-togethers, celebrations or even for growing families or spaces that may change over time. The only negative I’ve experienced with this table is that the natural white oak wood top tends to highlight grease spots and spills, but honestly, that just forces me to wipe it down more often-which is actually a good thing.Whether you have a large, separate dining room or a smaller eat-in area, we at west elm have dining room chairs and tables to suit your style, needs and space. Article also offers white-glove delivery service, which means your table will be carried inside and assembled so you don’t have to lift a finger (the delivery people also take all the packing materials with them when they go!). Design-wise, the clean lines make it versatile enough to work with a variety of home decor styles (including my eclectic maximalist one). It’s a few inches deeper than standard dining tables, too, which means the tabletop never feels crowded, even when we’re having a dinner party. The Dako checks all those boxes, and at 77 inches long it comfortably seats six to eight people while still tucking nicely into one side of our not-so-stately dining room. Practically speaking, we also needed it to be super sturdy and durable enough to stand up to our two kids.

We knew we wanted a table with enough visual weight to match the home’s original interior trim, but we also wanted something modern that felt more timeless than trendy. My husband and I have been through four dining tables since we purchased our smallish Arts & Crafts bungalow a decade ago, and Article’s Dako table finally feels like the one.
