The Parquet Rectangular Dining Table creates elegant visual appeal and ample room for guests. This generously sized dining table is made of solid hardwood with an Alder parquet top that is highly decorative. It is available in an assortment of warm, antiqued finish options with a protective topcoat of catalyzed lacquer to add long lasting durability. This dining table features a center lever top lock mounted beneath so a simple movement of the handle unlocks and moves the two halves apart. When closing, a turn of the handle draws the two halves together. It comes with one 22-inch interlocking leaf with aprons for a secure fit and proper alignment of the top. This dining table has large proportions so it can easily seat six people without the leaf and eight to ten people when fully extended. The overall dimensions are 78 inches long, 44 inches wide, and 30 inches high. With the leaf in, the table extends to 100 inches long.
Proudly Handcrafted
This item is handcrafted in a way few products are today. Master craftsmen hand-assemble each piece, using wooden dowels, tenon joinery, and other traditional methods to ensure the highest quality. Each item then undergoes a meticulous 16-step finishing process (read more about this process below) - all done by hand - resulting in a unique piece with incredible depth and beauty. From hand-rubbing with steel wool and oil, to physically distressing pieces for certain antiqued finishes, the item doesn't leave the company until it has been crafted with care, then thoroughly inspected and proudly sent to you, to enjoy for years to come.
