Piper Spindle Dining Table - Mocha Oak

The Piper Spindle Dining Table in Mocha Oak is 220cm long, 108cm deep and 74cm high, on tapered spindle legs. The legs are turned and slim rather than square posts, so the table reads lighter than its length. It seats eight at a comfortable spacing.

Slim legs on a 220cm table are a deliberate choice against the current fashion for heavy pedestals. What you get is a table you can see under and around, which keeps a dining room from feeling solid. What you give up is the clear floor a pedestal gives.

At 108cm deep there is room for serving dishes down the centre with plates either side, which is the point of going wider than 100cm.

The caveat is where the legs sit. Spindle legs are at or near the corners, so the two end seats have timber nearby. Check whether you need the ends as everyday places or only at Christmas.
