Chaytor Brown Rectangular Dining Table

With a generous 94-inch width, this dining table is specifically designed to seat up to 8 adults comfortably. The rectangular shape provides a structured seating arrangement that is perfect for hosting large formal dinner parties or daily family meals where ample elbow room is a priority.

The double pedestal base is a strategic design choice for maximizing comfort. By concentrating the support in the center rather than at the corners, it eliminates the "leg-bumping" often caused by traditional four-legged tables, allowing for flexible chair placement. This pedestal design also provides a more open, modern aesthetic that helps the room feel less cluttered.

The legs of this table feature natural ash veneers, which are highly regarded for their stability. Unlike solid wood, which can expand and contract significantly with changes in moisture, veneer is layered over a stable core to resist warping, cracking, or splitting. This makes it a reliable choice for maintaining a consistent look in humid coastal regions or homes with central heating and cooling.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we suggest dusting the ash veneer legs regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the ceramic top, the surface can be easily maintained with a damp cloth and a drop of mild dish soap. To preserve the integrity of the finish, always avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, and we recommend using coasters or placemats to provide an extra layer of protection during use.

To ensure guests can move freely and pull out chairs without obstruction, our spatial guidelines recommend a minimum clearance of 36 inches around all sides of the table. For an optimal experience and to maintain clear walkways in larger dining rooms, 48 inches of clearance is preferred. Given this table’s 94-inch width, it is ideally suited for a dining area that is at least 13 to 14 feet long.

Ceramic is an excellent high-performance material for entertaining. While it beautifully mimics the intricate look of white and dark brown marble, it is significantly more durable than natural stone. Ceramic is non-porous and highly resistant to heat, scratches, and acid etching—meaning you don't have to worry about wine spills or citrus juice damaging the surface as you might with traditional marble.
