One of four sizes in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe step up from the shortest size in the range sounds marginal and is not.

The twin teak beam legs carry the same visual weight as the shorter version, so proportionally they read slightly lighter under a longer top.

At 320cm the Alpha does that: seating arrangements, lighting and circulation all have to be planned around it rather than the other way round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is a commitment worth being clear-eyed about. It needs a genuinely large space, ideally with clearance on all sides for chairs to pull out, and delivery access should be checked before ordering. What you get in return is a table that seats twelve or more without anyone perching at a corner.

A top this long needs proper support to stay flat over decades, and paired solid beams provide it in a way a four-legged frame would struggle to. Practical considerations matter more than usual here: measure the room, then measure the route into it, because a 360cm solid teak top will not negotiate a tight corner.
