The claim on this one is that it expands in seconds, and the construction is what makes that plausible — a straightforward slide with the leaf dropped into the middle, on a base built from a carbon steel frame with 26 mm legs rather than the 25 mm used lower in the range. Closed at 47 inches it is a comfortable four to six; opened to 62 it takes eight. The top is thickened MDF, heat-, scratch- and water-resistant, in a black finish with a textured surface.

How it lives in the room

Test it single-handed

See whether you can open it alone. Some extendable tables genuinely need two people; if this one does not, it will be extended far more often, and that is the whole value of the mechanism.

Clear the whole path

Expanding means the two halves separate, so the chairs on both long sides have to be out of the way. It takes ten seconds if the room is clear and five minutes if it is not.

Check the seat count honestly

Sixty-two inches of oval is eight place settings at 24 inches each with nothing to spare. For eight people with serving dishes on the table, seven is the comfortable number.

Before you order

Bigger legs mean a heavier table. Two people to move it once assembled, and felt pads underneath if it sits on a wooden floor that you care about.
