Tables For Every Room

Tables For Every Room — Sized By The People Around Them

A table is measured by who sits at it, not by its top: allow about 24 inches of edge per diner and 36 inches of clearance behind each chair. A table that fits the floor but not the chairs is the most common dining-room mistake. Measure the room with the chairs pulled out.

Dining Tables — Seat Count First, Top Second

Seat the family at our dining tables in acacia, oak and glass, from 47 inches for four to 86 for eight. Extendable leaves earn their place when guests arrive twice a month, not twice a year.

Living Room Tables — One For The Room, One For The Seat

Set the living room around a coffee table, keep what the room would rather not show in a storage table, and give each seat its own side table. The centre table serves the conversation; the side table serves the hand.

Hall And Patio — Narrow Inside, Heavy Outside

In the hall, a narrow console 12 to 16 inches deep holds keys and post without blocking the door. Outside, weight is the spec: take a meal on an iron or acacia table a gust will not move.
