ITEM. Review of "Country Oak 3.4m Large Double Extending Dining Table X Leg Oval Corners" (https://www.topfurniture.co.uk/large-oak-dining-table-12-14-seater-cross-leg-oval-end.html?nosto=nosto-page-category1-fallback-nosto-1), £1499.99 after discount offered by the site. DELIVERY/ASSEMBLY. Delivery was well organized and the two-person team put the table in the room we asked. Assembly is technically easy -- the top (with extension mechanism/pieces) comes as one piece, so it's just a question of bolting on the legs (one piece each) and the crossbar. Mounting the crossbar takes two people (to hold it in place). The hard part in assembly is the weight -- the top+bar packet describes itself as ~101 kg and the legs together are ~34kg -- so inverting the top to add the legs/bar means lifting ~100kg of top (a two-person job), and once the legs are on, putting the table the right way up means lifting or tipping ~135kg. We elected to tip, keeping it on the edge of its feet very briefly, and this worked fine, though a fair effort to get it tipped enough. If adding felt to the feet, that's obviously best done after initial assembly and before righting it. Top Furniture offer felt feet as a prize for completing a review, but while that's kind, it's too late. IN USE. This is an excellent table, and good-looking, with something of a monastic style. The table is very solid. The extension mechanism is excellent; latches hold the top pieces together (with a small bolt to ensure the first of the inner flaps stays in the right place) and the metalwork under the table is solid. The crossbar under the table is fairly high and does not get in the way of people's legs; the table is also quite wide, also helping that. When the table is retracted, there isn't much room for putting chairs under the ends (the legs are close to the ends), as others have noted. PHOTOS. Photos (a) fully extended (next to an old Ikea dining table) and (b) fully retracted -- there is also an intermediate step. Chairs shown are unrelated.
