The Hampton dining table is made entirely from 100% solid oak timber & features an easy to use extension mechanism which effortlessly opens to reveal an extension panel stored within the table. The extension panel fits in the centre of the table on a solid sturdy frame capable of holding immense weight without stressing or giving way under pressure. This is unlike many other extension tables where the panels have to be mounted on the ends of the table where there is little support, which can cause the arms of the panels to weaken & break. When fully extended the Hampton can seat upto 6 people & when closed it will seat 4. The Hampton has a lacquered finish to ensure all year round protection. There's no need to apply oil to this oak. Remember we use 100% solid oak on every part of this table, this is not part solid part veneer furniture. Each table is handmade by skilled craftsmen & is truly built to last a lifetime. It is important to point out that all of our tables are made from solid pieces of full length oak not finger jointed oak. Finger jointed oak is when lots of small off cuts of oak are joined together. Although this is still classed as solid oak it creates an unnatural look & it ultimately a cheaper method of production. THE CHAIRS The Montana leather chairs are quite simply irresistible.
