Flint Dining Table - Black Oak

The Flint Dining Table in Black Oak is 286cm long, 118cm deep and 76cm high, on four oversized pillars. The pillars are set well in from the ends, so a chair goes at each end without meeting timber. It seats twelve at a comfortable spacing.

At 286cm this is a table that sets the room rather than fitting into it, and the pillars are the reason it works at that length. Four legs at the corners would make both ends unusable; pillars pulled in turn a twelve seater into a genuine twelve seater.

At 118cm deep there is room to run serving dishes down the centre with plates either side, which a 100cm table cannot quite do once glasses arrive.

The caveat is getting it in. A table this long does not turn corners, so measure the route, the doorway and any return in the hallway before the room. That is the constraint that catches people, not the room itself.
