Some dining sets only work for a quiet night in. This one is made for both: an extending dining table and 6 chairs in a rich walnut tone, with a built-in centre leaf that lets the table grow from four seats to six when guests arrive. Each chair is an upholstered armchair with a speckled neutral seat pad, so the whole set looks relaxed, modern and comfortable.

Extending Dining Table and 6 Chairs in Warm Walnut

Walnut tones bring depth to a dining room, and the slim tapered legs keep the table from feeling heavy. The supplier calls the finish natural wood, and the colour suits both contemporary rooms and country-style spaces. With six cushioned chairs, you will not need to borrow seats from another room when family or friends come over.

Walnut Dining Table and Chairs Size

All figures come from the supplier. The product sheet gives the length as 189.2cm and does not list a separate shorter folded length, so confirm the closed size before ordering if space is tight.

How the Centre Leaf Extension Works

The leaf is stored inside the table. The maker's notes say you pull both ends apart, the centre leaf unfolds and it locks into place, so there is nothing separate to store in a cupboard. It is a quick change from everyday dinners to a full table for six.

Veneer Top, Solid Wood Legs and Fabric Seats

The supplier describes a wood veneer top that is smooth and easy to wipe down, supported on solid wood legs. The chairs have solid wood frames and fabric seat pads. The product information also notes FSC certified materials, which supports responsible forest management.

Dining Chairs with Arms for Longer Meals

Curved arms give support while you sit and a handy place to rest your hands. A 48cm seat height pairs well with the 76cm table, and the soft seat pad is kind through long dinners. At 13kg each, the chairs feel stable and solid, though they are heavier to move than a lightweight design.

Is There Room for a 6-Seater Extending Set?

With a 90cm clearance on every side, a 189cm table calls for a floor area near 370cm by 270cm when fully open. If your room is narrower, measure the walkways before ordering and consider storing some chairs away from the table in daily use.

Assembly and Guarantee

Plan to build this set yourself with two people. A manufacturer's guarantee of one year is included. Wipe the veneer with a soft damp cloth, use heat mats and coasters, and keep it clear of radiators and strong sunlight so the wood tone lasts.

Styling Ideas for a Walnut Dining Set

• Calm and neutral: pale walls, a stone vase and green foliage.
• Mid-century: brass lighting, a jute rug and a framed print.
• Country modern: a ceramic jug, linen napkins and woven mats.
• Entertaining: unfold the leaf, lay a long runner and set out tea lights.
