Armitage Brown 5 Pc Dining Room

This rectangular dining table is designed for versatility and hosting. In its standard 78-inch configuration, it comfortably seats six to eight guests. By utilizing the included 18-inch extension leaf, the table reaches a total length of 96 inches, providing ample surface area to accommodate up to 10 people for larger gatherings or holiday meals.

Yes. Pecan is a member of the hickory family, known for having a very high Janka hardness rating, which translates to excellent resistance against dents and daily wear. These veneers are applied over a stable core to provide the luxurious look of intricate wood grains while offering a significant advantage in durability: they are much more resistant to warping and cracking than solid wood, especially in homes with fluctuating temperatures.

To ensure a comfortable dining experience, our spatial experts recommend maintaining a clearance of 36 to 48 inches between the table and the nearest wall or piece of accent furniture, such as a server. For this specific table, which measures 78 inches long and extends to 96 inches with the 18-inch leaf, you should plan for a room size that allows for these margins even when the table is fully extended to ensure guests can pull out chairs and move freely.

This table is exceptionally well-suited for humid environments. Solid wood furniture can expand and contract significantly with changes in moisture, which often leads to warping or splitting. Because this piece is crafted with high-quality pecan veneers over a stable substrate, it is engineered to remain structurally sound and level, resisting the movement typically associated with high-humidity coastal regions.

To preserve the rich, dark brown finish of the pecan veneers, we recommend dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, followed immediately by a dry towel. To prevent the "white rings" caused by heat or moisture, always use coasters for beverages and trivets or placemats for hot dishes. Our care expertise suggests avoiding harsh chemical polishes or wax-based cleaners, which can cause buildup and dull the intricate ornate details over time.

The trestle base is a hallmark of traditional craftsmanship that offers superior structural stability and improved legroom. Because the support structure is centralized and features an ornate trestle leg design, guests seated at the corners or sides do not have to "straddle" traditional table legs. This design maximizes the usable seating perimeter, making it easier to fit additional chairs when the table is extended.
