Extendable rectangular wooden tables: Flexibility for large gatherings
The dining room is a dynamic space that must adapt to different situations: from intimate family meals to large celebrations with friends. Extendable wooden tables are the architectural answer to this need for flexibility. At Sklum, we select pieces that combine the elegance and warmth of solid wood with high-precision extension mechanisms. Whether through central book-style opening systems or hidden side extensions, these tables allow you to double or triple their capacity in seconds without sacrificing stability or aesthetics. The wood, treated to resist stains and moisture, adds character and ages gracefully, making the table a lasting investment for your home.

Advantages of an extensible quality system
- Instant adaptability: Allows you to manage the living room space day by day, keeping it clear, and expand the surface only when necessary.
- Continuous aesthetics: Well-designed systems maintain the continuity of the wood grain even when the table is open, preserving the visual beauty.
- Structural solidity: Unlike lightweight tables, the weight of solid wood ensures that the table does not move or vibrate during use, even when fully extended.
- Versatility In/Out: Tropical woods such as acacia or eucalyptus allow for hybrid use, serving as a garden table in summer and a dining table in winter.
Maintenance tips for extendable wood
To ensure the smooth operation of the rails and hinges, it's advisable to inspect and clean the extension mechanism once a year, applying a dry lubricant if necessary. For the wood, use coasters and placemats to protect it from water rings and direct heat. For tropical hardwoods used outdoors, an annual application of teak oil or a specific wood preservative will nourish the grain and maintain the vibrant color, preventing natural graying from sun exposure. When extending the table, do so gently, and if it's very large, it's best to have two people to avoid straining the legs.
Frequently asked questions about extendable tables
-
Are the seams of the extensions noticeable?
In solid wood tables, the joints are visible but are designed to fit together precisely, forming part of the furniture's constructive aesthetic.
-
Where are the extension tables stored?
Most of our models (like Dubai or Treveris) integrate the storage of the extensions under the main tabletop itself, saving space in closets.
-
How many people can fit at a 320 cm table?
Allowing approximately 60 cm per person, up to 12 people can sit comfortably, or 14 if the headrests are used.
-
Are they stable when fully open?
Yes, the structure of perimeter legs or central reinforcements is calculated to support the weight and pressure at the ends without giving way.
