Woods Furniture, furnishing Dorset homes since 1875 from stores in Dorchester and Bournemouth, sells extending, round and rectangular dining tables from 120cm to 240cm. Choose from solid oak, reclaimed wood, ceramic and painted finishes, including Ercol and Stressless dining tables, each chosen for solid construction and style that lasts, from a compact kitchen table to a dining table for ten.
Dining table buying guide
An extending dining table gives you an everyday size with room for guests when you need it. Our Tetbury, Chiltern and Adelaide ranges extend, as do Ercol tables such as Teramo, Bosco and Windsor, and the Perth round table extends from 135cm to 185cm.

A round dining table suits a square room or small space and makes conversation easy. A rectangular dining table, from 120cm to 200cm, fits a longer room and seats more people.
Solid oak and reclaimed wood tables develop character over time. Ceramic dining tables resist heat and scratches, which suits busy family kitchens.

Allow around 60cm of table length for each person and at least 90cm between the table edge and the wall so chairs can be pulled out. As a guide, a 120cm table seats four, 160cm to 180cm seats six, 200cm seats eight and 240cm seats up to ten.
